Full Attic Restoration – Removal, Air-Sealing, and Installation in Clovis, CA
Jared contacted us because his 1000-square-foot home was hot and uncomfortable. He was concerned that the summer months would become unbearable, not only temperature-wise but also in terms of his cooling costs. When we inspected his attic, we found that there was little to no insulation, maybe 1-2 inches, and there were numerous holes, goas, and cracks where hot attic air was able to flow into the living spaces of his home. We determined that performing an attic restoration would be the best option for him.
We began the attic restoration process by removing the old insulation and all of the debris that was scattered throughout the attic. Next, we cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer. We then meticulously air-sealed the attic, including all top plates, wire and plumbing penetrations, registers, and recessed lighting. We also installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic space. Once the attic was sealed, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches, bringing Jared’s attic up to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level.
As a result of our comprehensive attic restoration, Jared and his family will enjoy better indoor air quality, more comfortable temperatures in their home year-round, and reduced heating and cooling costs for as long as they live there.
