Some people have scenes of wrapping themselves up in warm blankets, nice and cozy, sitting on the sofa, and watching a good movie with a cup of hot chocolate in hand in winter. The mini-marshmallows are a nice plus. Other people are just the opposite, counting down the days until spring arrives. Either way, there is another consideration for you to be thinking about, and that is what is going on above your head in your attic. It is getting cold outside, and the furry critters that want to get warm are looking for a place to call home. Your home.
Mouse Feces and Urine
It isn’t just the damage rodents can do with their teeth to your ductwork, electrical wiring, and anything else stored in your attic, but the real health concerns relative to the feces and urine that they are depositing there, not to mention the legion of babies being produced. Attics and More does not claim to be in the pest management business, but we will inspect your attic for signs of these issues so you can have it managed by a proper pest control company. When the pest control company has completed their portion of the work by catching anything that is still alive in your attic and blocking ways for them to return to your warm and inviting home, Attics and More will return and remove the gross and messy insulation that still holds health hazards, sanitize your attic, and place fresh insulation down to make your attic, and by extension the people who reside there, healthy again.

A standout of our removal process is that we will professionally remove your existing insulation and sanitize the attic. Most insulation companies will skip this step and place new insulation over existing disintegrated and possibly toxic insulation to avoid this mess. Our method is a clean one wherein the equipment is left outside as we remove the debris from inside your home. We take every precaution to ensure cleanliness and the safety of you and our family.
After the sanitization process is complete, we blow in our fiberglass insulation, which is 100 percent recycled and is the only insulation in the world guaranteed to remain at its original R-value level for as long as you own your home. If at any point – for as long as you own your house – your insulation fails to live up to our high standards of energy efficiency, our insulation team will refill your attic to the appropriate level for free. This fresh Johns Manville fiberglass will be at a depth of 15 inches or R-38, which is appropriate for our region. When you invest in this quality product, you can rest assured that you are purchasing insulation that will help increase your home’s energy efficiency, cut down on monthly electric bills, and reduce your carbon footprint.
This approach to an attic infestation is a real win-win for the homeowner having peace of mind that the attic is free from pests and harmful materials in the attic, and can look forward to comfort and energy savings with the installation of our level R-38 blown-in insulation. Attics and More offers complimentary home inspections, so why not let us take a peek in the attic and see what is really going on up there?
