Completed project · San Jose, CA 95125 · May 2026
Attic and crawl space in one project: this San Jose job covered 1,168 sq ft overhead and a basic cleanup of the space under the floor. Upstairs, the old pink batts and loose paper facing came out, the deck was cleaned, sanitized and sealed, and new R-38 16in batts went in. Below, debris was vacuumed from hard surfaces and sanitized.

The challenge
Old batts and debris in the attic, and a crawl space to clean
The photos show the old pink batts out of place, with loose paper facing and debris across the attic floor. Rather than top that up, the crew removed all of it with a heavy-duty vacuum, working behind protective floor barriers and dust-barrier tunnels.
The crawl space was part of the same project. It got a basic cleanup, with debris vacuumed from hard surfaces and sanitation included.
The service
What the crew did, in order
Prep and protection
Protective floor barriers and dust-barrier tunnels set through the work path before any material was moved, so the rest of the house stayed clean.
Remove the old insulation
The existing insulation taken out with a heavy-duty vacuum across 1,168 sq ft, down to a clear, bare surface.
Clean and sanitize
Debris vacuumed from hard surfaces, then OdoBan sanitation applied to neutralize odors and bacteria.
Seal and rodent-proof
Entry points closed with wire mesh, polyurethane foam and cement, with two to four indicator traps left as a check. Gaps around fixtures, piping, wiring and vents air-sealed in the same pass.
New insulation
New R-38 16in Fiberglass Batts installed across 1,168 sq ft, on a clean, sealed surface rather than on top of the old layer.
Crawl space
Crawl space cleanup: droppings, nests and debris vacuumed from hard surfaces, with sanitation.
The result
1,168 sq ft of attic rebuilt, and the crawl space cleaned
Upstairs, the attic finished with the old insulation removed, the deck cleaned and sanitized with OdoBan, entry points rodent-proofed with wire mesh, polyurethane foam and cement, gaps around fixtures, piping, wiring and vents air-sealed, and new R-38 16in fiberglass batts across 1,168 sq ft. Below, the crawl space was vacuumed and sanitized.
