Completed project · Burbank, CA 91504 · August 2026
Moderate rodent activity, a stained deck and open gaps at the ducts and wiring: that is what this Burbank attic showed once the old insulation was out. In August 2026 Atticare USA sanitized it, foamed the penetrations, screened the gable vent, and laid new R-38 16in fiberglass batts around the ductwork.

The challenge
A stained deck and gaps at every duct and wire
The job record lists moderate rodent activity. With the old insulation removed, the photos show staining across the deck boards, and rodent waste, droppings and nests were vacuumed out before anything else happened.
The other half of the job was the openings. Ducts, conduit and pipes pass through the attic floor, and each gap around them leaks air and gives rodents a path, so each one was sealed before the new layer went down.
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, down to a clear, bare surface.
Clean and sanitize
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 16in Fiberglass Batts installed, on a clean, sealed surface rather than on top of the old layer.
The result
Sealed at the penetrations, rebuilt in R-38
The attic finished with the old insulation removed, droppings and nests vacuumed out, OdoBan applied, gaps around ducts, conduit, piping and wiring sealed with polyurethane foam, the gable vent screened with wire mesh, and new R-38 16in fiberglass batts laid around the ducts.

Questions homeowners ask
Attic work in Burbank, answered
My attic gets extremely hot in the summer in Burbank. Which companies can help?
This Burbank job did not add a fan or a radiant barrier. The fix here was the insulation itself: the old layer came out, the gaps around ducts and wiring were foam-sealed, and new R-38 16in batts went in on a clean deck. A free inspection from Atticare USA will tell you whether your attic needs insulation, sealing, ventilation, or a mix.
Who cleans up an attic after rodents in Burbank and installs new insulation?
Atticare USA does the whole job as one project, as here: old insulation removed, droppings and nests vacuumed out, OdoBan sanitation, entry points sealed, and R-38 installed last. See why the order of operations matters.
Does Atticare USA protect the house while the old insulation comes out?
Yes. On this job protective barriers were laid through the work path before any material was moved, and the old insulation came out with a heavy-duty vacuum.
