Attic Cleaning Services

A key method to better your indoor air quality and extend the lifespan of your insulation is to schedule your attic cleaned on a periodic basis. The air that flows through your home inevitably passes through your attic, so if this area of your home is dirty, contaminants may enter your living space.

Airborne bacteria and fungal spores can spread throughout your home and impact the air you breathe daily. This creates a health risk for you and your family, as contaminants like this are associated with weakened immune systems and breathing issues, which is why maintaining a clean and sanitary attic is critical for keeping the air in your home breathable and safe.

Atticare’s professional team of experienced technicians will start with a thorough inspection of your attic and report back to you with their findings. Armed with this information, we will assist you in prioritizing solutions with the goal of creating a healthier and more energy-efficient home for you and those you love.

The Attic Cleaning Process

Atticare’s cleaning process for attics can be customized to be more simple or comprehensive according to your home’s needs. Our team will identify any issues as we discover them and collaborate with you to identify the most affordable and efficient solutions to deal with them.

The entire cleaning process includes the following steps:

Removal of Insulation and Surface Cleaning – Our team will take out your current insulation as well as any contaminants, debris, or waste and properly dispose of it. Once finished, we will be able to see any issues hidden beneath.

Optional Sanitization and Decontamination (for attics) – If you choose to have a more thorough cleaning, we can use industrial cleaning equipment to remove mold, mildew, fungi, germs, and bacteria. Once released, these contaminants can lead to respiratory issues, bacterial disease, viral disease and more being harbored and spread after-the-fact. Our trained team will make sure your home is 100% free from contamination, bacteria, and odor.

Rodent Proofing (optional) – If we notice any potential rodent entrances during the removal and cleaning processes, we can install barriers to safely and effectively prevent their entry.

Air Sealing (required in CA, attics only) – Our team will seal and caulk gaps between your attic and living space to prevent precious energy from escaping upward, making your home more energy-efficient. This measure is mandated by California’s Title 24 building code whenever insulation is removed.

Optional Air Duct Repair and Replacement – If our team finds any damage in your air ducts, we will bring it to your attention and can handle repairs or replacements upon your approval. Ensuring your ducts are airtight helps prevent energy waste.

Insulation – Once your attic is clean and sealed, our insulation experts can collaborate with you to select insulation that suits the structure of your space and fits your budget.

Attic Insulation

When you build a new house, installing advanced, premium insulation during the construction process is a vital investment in your home’s future. Having your attic and crawl space adequately insulated allows you to immediately save on energy costs from the moment you settle. Attic and crawl space insulation are available in a number of different forms, which differ in cost and effectiveness. The insulation specialists at Atticare can help you select the ideal solution for the size of your attic and crawl space as well as the climate in which it is located.

Depending on the state of your insulation, we may advise you replace areas of your insulation that have suffered damage or fully replace the entire area. This all depends on the condition of your current insulation and whether it has been impacted by vermin, mold, or moisture damage.

If the insulation in your attic and crawl space has signs of rodent infestation, it should be removed as quickly as possible to avoid health risks. Simply adding a new layer of insulation on top of the old one won’t solve the problem because stench and contamination will still persist. Replacing the damaged insulation with a high-quality substitute is the best option to decontaminate the space and boost the energy efficiency of your home.
