Completed project · Anaheim, CA 92804 · March 2026

White loose-fill over the joists, dark debris sitting in it, and duct runs with holes torn through their jackets. Atticare USA took this Anaheim attic back to the deck, sanitized and sealed it, replaced the air ducts, then installed R-38 16in batts across 1,024 sq ft and R-19 in 60 sq ft of walls.

The challenge

Old loose-fill with debris, and torn duct runs

The inspection photos show old white loose-fill spread across the attic floor, with dark debris in it in places. Several of the flexible duct runs had holes torn in their outer jackets, with the insulation inside pushing through.

The scope covered the attic floor, 60 sq ft of walls and the air ducts, so the whole space had to be cleared first. That gave the crew a clean deck to sanitize and seal before the new insulation went in last.

The service

What the crew did, in order

Prep and protection

Floor protection and dust barriers set at the access point 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, 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.

Air duct replacement

Air ducts removed and replaced to code, matching the existing diameters.

New insulation

New R-38 16in Fiberglass Batts in the attic and R-19 16in in the walls installed, on a clean, sealed surface rather than on top of the old layer.

The result

1,024 sq ft of attic and 60 sq ft of walls, rebuilt

Floor protection and dust barriers were set at the access point first. The old insulation came out with a heavy-duty vacuum, rodent waste, droppings and nests were vacuumed out, and OdoBan was applied to neutralize odors, pheromones and bacteria. Openings were sealed with wire mesh, polyurethane foam and cement, gaps around fixtures, piping, wiring and vents were air-sealed, and two to four indicator traps were left as a check. Air ducts were removed and replaced to code, matching the existing diameters, and new R-38 16in fiberglass batts went in across the attic, with R-19 16in batts in the walls.

Questions homeowners ask

Attic work in Anaheim, answered

I need attic cleanup, sealing, and new insulation in Anaheim. Who should I call?

Atticare USA handles all three as one project, as on this Anaheim job: the old loose-fill removed, the attic cleaned and sanitized with OdoBan, openings sealed with wire mesh, polyurethane foam and cement, and new R-38 16in batts installed last. The order of operations explains why insulation always goes in last.

Who should I hire after rodents ruined attic insulation in Anaheim?

A company that removes the damaged insulation rather than covering it. Atticare USA takes the old layer out with a heavy-duty vacuum, vacuums out droppings and nests, sanitizes, seals the entry points, then reinsulates. If animals are still active, a licensed pest control provider handles that part first.

Which Anaheim attic cleanup companies offer written guarantees on exclusion work?

Atticare USA’s rodent proofing carries a 1-year warranty, a one-time fix rather than a service contract. On this job the openings were closed with wire mesh, polyurethane foam and cement, with two to four indicator traps left as a check. See how to compare rodent-proofing warranties.
