Full Attic Restoration in Attic with Old Batting Insulation and Roofing Debris in 2300 Sq. Ft. Home in Fresno, CA

Garrett contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because his house constantly felt hot and stuffy, despite running his air conditioner constantly. He was looking to reduce his cooling costs and make his home more comfortable during the hot summer months. When we inspected his attic, we found that things were a mess. His attic was littered with debris, including old batting insulation, roofing debris, and trash. The few inches of insulation that was present was not evenly installed throughout the attic, causing some areas of his house to be much warmer than others. We determined that an attic restoration was needed to help keep his home cool and reduce his cooling costs.

We began by removing the debris and old insulation. Once the attic was bare, we cleaned and sanitized the space using DSV sanitizer. We then identified potential leakage points where air could travel between the attic and living spaces of the home and sealed them using closed-cell foam. This included top plates, registers, recessed lights, and plumbing and wiring penetrations. Additionally, we installed rodent-proof barriers to keep rodents and other pests out of the attic. Lastly, we blew in 14 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing the attic up to Energy Star-recommended levels.

As a result of the attic restoration, Garrett and his family will be able to enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home in summer, a warmer home in winter, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50% for as long as they live in the home.
