Comprehensive Attic Restoration in Large 4300-Square-Foot Home in Fresno, CA
Ron contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because his large home was extremely hot and was becoming increasingly expensive to keep cool during the hot summer months. He was looking to reduce his dependence on his air conditioner but still keep his house cool and comfortable. Although his home was built in 2002, when we inspected his attic, we found that he only had about 5-6 inches of old insulation present. We determined that a full attic restoration was the best option for Ron to achieve his goals.
We began the attic restoration by vacuuming out all of the old insulation and disposing of it. Next, we cleaned and sanitized his attic using DSV sanitizer, a powerful disinfectant, to eliminate contaminants and irritants from the attic space. We then carefully located air leakage points and sealed them using closed-cell foam. This includes top plates, plumbing and wire penetrations, recessed lighting, and registers. We also installed rodent-proof barriers to keep rodents and other pests from entering the attic. Lastly, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches, providing R38 protection to the home.
As a result of the comprehensive attic restoration we performed, Ron and his family will not only enjoy a more comfortable home during summer and lower cooling costs, but also better indoor air quality and a warmer home in winter for as long as they live in that house.
