Jose’s Attic Restoration to Improve Indoor Air Quality in Fresno, CA

Jose reached out to us because he was dealing with poor air quality and an excessive amount of dust in his home. After a detailed attic inspection, we identified the issue: only three inches of old, dirty cellulose insulation remained in the attic. This degraded insulation was no longer providing adequate coverage and contributed to the dust and allergens circulating in his home. We recommended a comprehensive attic restoration to resolve these concerns.

Here’s how we completed the attic restoration:

• We began by vacuuming out the old, dirty cellulose insulation to eliminate accumulated dust and contaminants.
• Then, we air-sealed all potential leakage points, including top plates, registers, recessed lights, and plumbing and wiring penetrations, using closed-cell foam to prevent air leakage.
• Following the sealing process, we thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the attic with Nisus DSV disinfectant to remove bacteria, viruses, and unwanted odors.
• To prevent future rodent infestations, we installed rodent-proof barriers at potential entry points.
• We then installed a fresh layer of premium fiberglass insulation, achieving the recommended R38 level for maximum energy efficiency.
• As part of our service, we provided Jose with before and after pictures to showcase the improvements made.

With this attic restoration, Jose can now enjoy a home with cleaner air, better insulation performance, and reduced energy costs. His home will stay comfortable in all seasons, providing peace of mind for years to come.
