Your attic space may be out of sight, but it plays a huge role in your home’s comfort, safety, and energy efficiency. Unfortunately, when rodents, squirrels, bats, or other animals make their way inside, they leave behind more than just a big mess; they leave contaminated material like urine, rodent droppings, and wildlife droppings. These not only damage insulation but also create health risks for your family.
That’s why Alamo offers full attic restoration services: a complete attic restoration process designed to clean, sanitize, and re-insulate your entire attic.
What Is Attic Restoration?
Attic restoration is more than just removing old insulation. It’s about returning your attic to its original condition (and often improving it). Our restoration services include:
- Insulation removal: We safely remove contaminated insulation that has been soiled by animal waste, urine, or moisture.
- Cleaning & sanitizing: We address odor issues, dust, and contaminants, applying a fine mist to disinfect hard-to-reach joists, walls, and air ducts without using harmful chemicals.
- Wildlife removal & prevention: If there’s been a wildlife infestation, we identify entry points and seal holes, cracks, and gaps to prevent future infestations from rodents or other animals.
- Attic insulation replacement: After cleaning, we install new insulation, specifically TAP® Insulation, a fire-resistant and eco-friendly insulation material that doubles as pest control.
Why Attic Insulation Replacement Is So Important
Contaminated insulation isn’t just gross; it can compromise your home’s comfort and efficiency. When insulation is damaged by droppings, urine, or even mold growth, it loses its R-value (insulation’s rating), meaning your home can’t stay as warm in the winter or as cool in the summer.
Replacing it with TAP® Insulation offers big benefits:
- Improved energy efficiency – TAP helps lower energy bills by reducing heating and cooling costs.
- Long-term protection – The borate-based insulation material acts as built-in pest control, killing insects that come into contact with it.
- Fire resistance – Tested and proven to slow the spread of fire.
- Sustainability – Made from recycled paper, TAP is safer for your home and the environment.
