Our team at Atticare provides professional attic cleaning services and insulation services aimed at the overall health and efficiency of your home. With extensive experience and a proven track record, we have what it takes to make your attic clean and energy efficient.

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 schedule your attic cleaned periodically. The air that flows through your home inevitably passes through your attic, so if this space is not clean, contaminants can be introduced to your indoor environment.

Airborne bacteria and fungal spores can circulate throughout your home and impact the air you inhale every day. This poses a health hazard for you and your family, as such contaminants have been linked to weakened immune systems and breathing issues, which is why keeping your attic clean and sanitary is critical for keeping the air in your home breathable and safe.

Our 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 approach to cleaning for attics can be tailored to be more simple or comprehensive according to your home’s needs. Our team can bring any issues to your attention as we uncover them and collaborate with you to identify the most affordable and appropriate ways to deal with them.

The entire cleaning process includes the following:

Insulation Removal & Surface Clean – Our team will remove your old insulation as well as any contaminants, debris, or waste and properly dispose of it. Once finished, we will reveal any underlying issues.

Optional Sanitization and Decontamination (for attics) – If you decide you’d like a deeper clean, we can use industrial cleaning equipment to remove mold, mildew, fungi, germs, 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 skilled professionals will ensure your home is completely free from contaminants, bacteria, and odors.

Rodent Proofing (optional) – 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 seal and caulk gaps between your attic and living space to stop energy loss from the attic, 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 recognizes 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 has been cleaned and sealed, our insulation experts can work with you to select insulation that suits the structure of your space and fits your budget.

Attic Insulation

When you construct a new house, installing up-to-date, 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 start saving on energy costs from the moment you settle. Attic and crawl space insulation are available in a range of different forms, which change in cost and effectiveness. The insulation professionals 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 suggest you replace areas of your insulation that have suffered damage or completely overhaul 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 signs of rodent infestation, it should be changed as soon as possible to avoid potential health problems. Simply adding a additional layer of insulation on top of the old one won’t solve the problem because odors and contamination will remain. Replacing the affected insulation with a high-quality substitute is the best option to clean the space and increase the energy efficiency of your home.
