Full Attic Restoration and Fire Hazard Debris Removal in Fresno, CA
When William reached out to us, his main concern was the lack of comfort in his home—especially during the hotter months. His air conditioner was running almost non-stop, and yet the home still felt warm. Upon inspecting his attic, we found the culprit: only 4 inches of old cellulose insulation, which is well below the recommended level. In addition, we discovered a significant amount of flammable roofing debris scattered throughout the attic, creating both a fire hazard and a barrier to proper insulation coverage.
We began the attic restoration by carefully vacuuming out all the old cellulose insulation and thoroughly removing the roofing debris. Clearing out this debris not only eliminated a serious safety risk, but also prepared the attic for a clean, even layer of new insulation. Next, we sanitized the attic with Nisus DSV, a powerful disinfectant that eliminates harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi—creating a much healthier environment.
We then sealed all major air leakage points, such as plumbing penetrations, top plates, and around registers, using closed-cell foam. This crucial step ensures that air no longer flows between the attic and living spaces, improving both energy efficiency and indoor air quality.
To finish the job, we installed fresh, blown-in fiberglass insulation to a depth of 14 inches, bringing William’s attic up to the Energy Star recommended R38 level.
Now, William can enjoy a cooler home in the summer, lower energy bills, and peace of mind knowing his attic is clean, safe, and energy-efficient.
