Completed project · Fremont, CA 94538 · July 2026
Severe is the word on this job record. The crew found heavy rodent activity through a 1,650 sq ft Fremont attic, with nests and droppings in the old batts. Everything came out, the attic was sanitized, every opening from the vents to the flue was meshed and foamed, and R-38 24in batts went in on a clean deck.

The challenge
Heavy rodent activity through the old batts
This was not a tired attic, it was a contaminated one. The old batts held heavy rodent waste and nesting material across much of the 1,650 sq ft.
Contaminated insulation keeps the odor and the scent trail that draws the next rodent in, so there was no version of this job that left the old layer in place. The order was fixed: out, clean, sanitize, seal, and only then insulate.
The service
What the crew did, in order
Prep and protection
Protective floor barriers 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 1,650 sq ft, down to bare joists and a clear deck.
Clean and sanitize
Heavy rodent waste, droppings and nests vacuumed out, then OdoBan sanitation applied to neutralize odors, pheromones 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 24in Fiberglass Batts installed across 1,650 sq ft, on a clean, sealed deck rather than on top of the old layer.
The result
1,650 sq ft, from severe contamination to clean and sealed
The old batts and the waste in them came out, the attic was vacuumed and treated with OdoBan, vents, flue and wiring penetrations were closed with wire mesh and foam, and new R-38 24in fiberglass batts went in across the attic.
