Attic Cleaning Services

One of the most effective ways to better your home’s air quality and prolong the life of your insulation is to have 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 not clean, contaminants may enter your living space.

Airborne bacteria and fungal spores can spread throughout your home and affect the air you inhale every day. This poses a health hazard for you and your family, as contaminants like this have been linked to reduced immune function and breathing issues, which is why maintaining a clean and sanitary attic is crucial for keeping the air in your home breathable and safe.

Atticare’s professional team of experienced technicians will begin by conducting inspection of your attic and report back to you with their findings. Armed with this information, we can help you prioritize solutions with the goal of making your home healthier and more energy-efficient for you and those you love.

Our Attic Cleaning Approach

Atticare’s cleaning process for attics can be tailored to be more basic or comprehensive according to your home’s needs. Our team will identify any issues as we discover them and work with you to find the most affordable and appropriate ways to deal with them.

The entire cleaning process consists of the following:

Removal of Insulation and Surface Cleaning – Our team will remove 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 fungi, germs, mold, mildew and bacteria. Once airborne, 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.

Optional Rodent Proofing – If we identify any potential rodent entrances during the removal and cleaning processes, we can construct blockades to keep them out of your home in a safe, effective way.

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

Optional Air Duct Repair and Replacement – If our team finds any damage in your air ducts, we will inform you and can address the repairs of replacements if you decide you’d like us to do so. 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 find an insulation well suited to the structure of the space as well as your budget.

Attic Insulation

When you build a new house, installing modern, premium insulation during the construction process is a vital investment in your home’s long-term health. 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 experts at Atticare can help you select the ideal fit for the size of your attic and crawl space as well as the environment in which it is located.

Depending on the condition of your insulation, we may suggest you either replace areas of your insulation that have sustained damage or fully replace the entire area. This all depends on the age of your current insulation and whether it has been impacted by vermin, mold, or water damage.

If the insulation in your attic and crawl space has evidence of rodent infestation, it should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid potential health problems. Simply adding a fresh layer of insulation on top of the old one won’t address the problem because stench and pollution will remain. Replacing the damaged insulation with a new substitute is the best option to decontaminate the space and increase the energy efficiency of your home.
