Insulation Removal, Attic Sanitizing, Air-Sealing, and Blown In Fiberglass Insulation in 1770 Sq. Ft. Home in Fresno, CA

Francis contacted us because his two-story home felt extremely hot and uncomfortable upstairs. Because the bedrooms were all upstairs, Francis and his family had to run their air conditioner constantly just to be comfortable enough to sleep at night. In doing this, their cooling bills were astronomically high. When we came out and inspected the attic, we found that Francis only had about 1-2 inches of insulation present, with many spots being bare with no insulation at all. This meant that the hot attic air was able to heat up the living spaces of the home because there was nothing to resist the heat flow. We determined that an attic restoration was needed to best help Francis.

We began by sucking out all of the old insulation. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer, eliminating contaminants and irritants from the space. We then carefully air-sealed all leakage points to help prevent air from traveling between the attic and the living spaces of the home. At this time, we also installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the space. Lastly, we blew in fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing the attic up to the Energy Star-recommended level.

As a result of the comprehensive attic restoration we performed, Francis and his family now experience a cooler, comfortable home during the summer months, a warmer home during winter, better indoor air quality, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50% for as long as they remain in that home.
