Reinsulating & Air Sealing a Contaminated Attic in Deal, NJ

Challenge

This homeowner in Deal, NJ, had a rather large infestation of mice in his attic. A short while ago, our Pest Control Division came out and properly removed all the mice from the area. Now all that's left is to remove all the contaminated insulation and reinsulate the attic!

Solution

We carefully removed all the contaminated insulation, disposed of them, and then disinfected the entire attic. Next, we air sealed all the gaps and cracks in the attic. This will eliminate air flow between the living space and the attic, improving energy efficiency. Afterward, we added over 12 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation. TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation has a higher R-value than standard fiberglass insulation, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating, is resistant to mold and pests, and is eco-friendly!

Lastly, we installed an attic door insulation cover. This attic door insulation cover is made of high-quality fireproof materials and 2 layers of aluminum, which can effectively block heat transfer, make your indoor temperature more pleasant, and give you a comfortable and healthy environment.
