Jenny reached out to us from Fresno because her home was always uncomfortable—too warm in the summer and chilly in the winter. Her HVAC system was running constantly, but it just couldn’t keep up. Once we got into her attic, it became clear why: the space was in rough shape. There were extensive air leakage points throughout, evidence of rodent activity, and her soffit vents were completely blocked, choking off ventilation.
We recommended a full attic restoration to solve the problem from the ground up. Our first step was removing all of the old, contaminated insulation and thoroughly cleaning out the attic. Because of the rodent activity, we sanitized the entire attic with Nisus DSV, a hospital-grade disinfectant designed to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi—crucial for improving the home’s indoor air quality.
After sanitizing, we moved on to air sealing. We carefully sealed all penetrations—top plates, plumbing and wiring cutouts, and any gaps around registers—using high-performance closed-cell foam. This drastically reduces the amount of air that escapes from the living space into the attic.
We also addressed the ventilation issue. Blocked soffit vents were preventing proper airflow through the attic, contributing to excess heat and moisture buildup. We cleared the vents to ensure the attic could breathe properly, which helps extend the life of the insulation and the roof itself.
Finally, we installed premium blown-in fiberglass insulation, bringing the attic up to an R38 level—which is the Energy Star recommended standard. This ensures optimal thermal performance, even in the peak of summer or coldest days of winter.
Now, Jenny’s home will stay more temperate year-round, her HVAC system will work less, and the indoor air quality is significantly healthier. This attic restoration is a long-term investment that will pay off in comfort, savings, and peace of mind.
Joanna from Visalia contacted us because her home was constantly struggling with temperature control. During the summer, the rooms would overheat, and in winter, they felt drafty and cold. She was also concerned about her rising energy bills. We came out to inspect her attic and quickly found the issue: her attic only had old R19 batt insulation, which is far below what’s needed for optimal energy efficiency in our Central Valley climate. On top of that, we found signs of rodent activity and general contamination.
We recommended a complete attic restoration to fully resolve the issue. We started by removing the existing R19 batts, which were dirty and underperforming. After clearing out all insulation and debris, we sanitized the attic using Nisus DSV, a professional-grade disinfectant that eliminates bacteria, viruses, and odors—especially important given the rodent contamination.
Next, we focused on air sealing the attic. Using closed-cell foam, we sealed all common leakage points like top plates, wire and pipe penetrations, and HVAC register openings. Proper air sealing ensures that conditioned air stays in the living space, rather than escaping into the attic.
To complete the project, we installed a fresh layer of blown-in premium fiberglass insulation, bringing the attic up to the Energy Star recommended R38 level—more than doubling the insulation performance of what she previously had.
Now that the attic is restored, Joanna’s home will stay cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and more energy efficient year-round. Plus, the improved air sealing and sanitation mean she’ll enjoy better indoor air quality and a quieter, cleaner home environment.
Jeff contacted us from Clovis because his home was struggling to stay cool during the peak of summer. Even with the AC running non-stop, the indoor temperature remained uncomfortable. When we inspected his attic, we discovered he only had about 5 inches of existing fiberglass insulation—far below what’s recommended for homes in the Central Valley.
To solve the issue, we performed an insulation upgrade by blowing in additional premium fiberglass insulation. We added enough to bring the total depth up to 14 inches, which achieves the Energy Star recommended R38 level for our region. This upgrade helps significantly reduce heat transfer through the attic, allowing Jeff’s HVAC system to work more efficiently while keeping his home much more comfortable.
Thanks to the improved insulation, Jeff can now look forward to lower energy bills, better indoor comfort, and improved year-round temperature control.
Bruce reached out to us from Fresno because his home was struggling to stay cool, even with the AC running constantly. After conducting a thorough inspection, we quickly pinpointed the issue: only 4 inches of old cellulose insulation in the attic. That’s well below the recommended level, and it wasn’t just the lack of insulation—there was also visible debris, signs of rodent intrusion, and general attic contamination.
To bring Bruce’s home back to top shape, we started with a full attic restoration. First, we removed all the old cellulose insulation using our industrial vacuum system. Once cleared, we thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the attic using Nisus DSV, a powerful disinfectant that eliminates harmful bacteria, mold, and viruses.
Next, we sealed all air leakage points—including around electrical wiring, plumbing penetrations, and registers—using closed-cell foam. This crucial step helps stop air from escaping into the attic and improves energy efficiency throughout the home. We also addressed any potential rodent entry points to prevent future infestations and cleared the soffit vents to restore proper ventilation to the attic space.
Finally, we blew in 14 inches of premium fiberglass insulation, bringing Bruce’s attic up to an R38 rating—the Energy Star recommended level for our region.
Bruce can now look forward to a cooler home in the summer, improved air quality, and significant savings on his energy bills for years to come.
Michelle contacted us because she needed her dryer vent cleaned as it had been several years since the last time she’d had it cleaned.
We disconnected her dryer hose from the vent and saw significant build up of lint and other debris.
We use the RamAir Cleaning System to blast the dust and debris out of the vent without harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes. As a result, Michelle’s dryer will run more efficiently and her risk of a house fire due to flammable debris buildup in her dryer vent is reduced.
