Completed project · Long Beach, CA 90804 · November 2025
Wire mesh went over the long runs of attic vents in this Long Beach home, and the new ducts were set on boots sealed with foam. Atticare USA removed the old insulation from all 790 sq ft, cleaned and sanitized the attic, sealed it against rodents, replaced the air ducts to code at their existing diameters, and installed new insulation last.

The challenge
Open vents, damaged ducts, and an attic to reset
The photos show long runs of vent openings along the attic edges, gaps in the framing, and an old duct with a torn section, with debris across the attic floor.
Openings like those are how rodents get in, and a torn duct needed replacing either way. So the job closed the openings and replaced the ducts first, and put the new insulation in only once the attic was clean and sealed.
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 790 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.
Air duct replacement
Air ducts removed and replaced to code, matching the existing diameters.
New insulation
New insulation installed across 790 sq ft, on a clean, sealed surface rather than on top of the old layer.
The result
790 sq ft sealed, with new ducts and new insulation
Protective floor barriers went down through the work path first. All existing 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. The service area was rodent-proofed 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 insulation was installed across the attic last.
