Completed project · Long Beach, CA 90806 · April 2026
The problem in this 1,110 sq ft Long Beach attic was the insulation itself: old loose-fill gone grey with dust, debris scattered across it and ducts resting in it. The inspection found no rodent activity. The crew removed it all, sanitized and sealed the deck, meshed and foamed the pipe openings, and laid new R-38 16in batts in rows.

The challenge
Dusty old loose-fill, and no rodents
The existing loose-fill had gone grey with dust, with debris across the surface and flex ducts resting on top.
The job record shows no rodent activity. Even so, the scope ran the full sequence: remove, clean, sanitize, seal and rodent-proof, then insulate, so the new layer sits on a clean deck with the openings already closed.
The service
What the crew did, in order
Prep and protection
Protective barriers laid 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 1,110 sq ft, down to a clear, bare surface.
Clean and sanitize
Dust and debris vacuumed out, then OdoBan sanitation applied across the work area.
Seal and rodent-proof
Preventative rodent proofing: likely entry points closed with wire mesh, polyurethane foam and cement, though no rodent activity was found. Gaps around fixtures, piping, wiring and vents air-sealed in the same pass.
New insulation
New R-38 16in Fiberglass Batts installed across 1,110 sq ft, on a clean, sealed surface rather than on top of the old layer.
The result
1,110 sq ft, from dusty loose-fill to R-38 batts
The attic finished with the old loose-fill removed, the deck cleaned and sanitized with OdoBan, pipe openings closed with wire mesh and foam, gaps around fixtures, piping, wiring and vents air-sealed, two to four indicator traps left as a check, and new R-38 16in fiberglass batts across 1,110 sq ft.

Questions homeowners ask
Attic work in Long Beach, answered
Do I need new attic insulation if my home in Long Beach is still too hot upstairs?
The attic is the place to check first. A dusty, uneven layer like the one this job removed is worth replacing. Here it came out, the deck was air-sealed, and new R-38 16in batts went in. A free inspection will tell you whether yours needs the same.
Is there a company in Long Beach that handles both attic cleanup and rodent sealing?
Atticare USA does both in one project. Even though this attic had no rodent activity, the crew cleaned and sanitized the deck and sealed entry points with wire mesh, polyurethane foam and cement before reinsulating. More: how to clean up an attic after rodents in Long Beach.
There are noises coming from my attic ceiling in Long Beach. Is this a pest control problem or an attic cleanup problem?
Often both, in that order. Removing live animals is work for a licensed pest control provider. Cleanup, sealing and new insulation come after, and that is Atticare USA’s part. A free inspection will show which one your attic needs.
Does Atticare USA offer free attic inspections in Long Beach?
Yes. Inspections in Long Beach and across the Los Angeles area are free, and Atticare USA can give a ballpark quote by phone first. Call 1-888-743-7243.
