Comprehensive Attic Restoration – Insulation Removal, Air Sealing, and Insulation Installation in One-Story Home in Fresno, CA
Jacob attended the Home Show in Fresno at the beginning of the year and discovered Tyson Energy Solutions. After learning more about how an attic restoration could benefit him, he asked Tyson to come and take a look at his attic to see how a restoration might benefit him. We scheduled a time to inspect his attic and found that he only had about 3-4 inches of old insulation present. After seeing the pictures of how under-insulated his attic was, Jacob decided to go ahead and have us do a full attic restoration in order to make his home more comfortable and improve his indoor air quality.
The attic restoration process went through the following steps:
- Remove the old, dirty insulation.
- Clean and sanitize the attic to eliminate irritants and contaminants.
- Air-seal leakage points including top plates, registers, recessed lights, and plumbing and wiring penetrations.
- Install rodent-proof barriers at potential entry points.
- Blow-in 14 inches of new fiberglass insulation to an R38 level.
Jacob’s home is now easily able to retain its conditioned air all year round. This means that not only is his home cool during summer and toasty during winter, but his indoor air quality is also greatly improved. Jacob can be confident that his attic will remain rodent-free and his heating and cooling costs will be lowered by up to 50% for the life of his home.
