We Offer Attic Cleaning & Sanitization Services

When animals get into your crawlspace or attic, they really do a lot of contaminate damage and even cause structural damage. They also leave the place messy, full of odors, cause water leaks and create air safety problems. It can also be hazardous to the health of you and your family — or in the case of an office infestation, your customers and employees.

You want to make sure the animals are humanely removed and prevented from re-entering and we can do that. You also need someone to come in and clean up, sanitize, repair, and restore the area. We provide those restoration services as well as odor control, HEPA vacuuming and construction repairs related water damage.

Whether insulation replacement due to damage or contamination, we can help you restore your attic. We can safely do insulation removal and replacement in your home. Our trained technicians have the equipment to make sure that your home does not continue to be contaminated with the soiled insulation.

We specialize in attic and crawlspace remediation and sanitization, and with our 20+ years of construction experience, you can be confident we’ll do the job right. Whether you’ve had squirrels, rats, mice, bats, birds or raccoons or water in your space, we’ll take care of everything for you. We prevent future pest infestations.

Before insulation removal is done, we create a safe air space by installing plastic air curtains. This process is called full containment. This is achieved with industrial HEPA filtered scrubbing units and containment poles.

You can feel safe that when we clean your attic or restore your crawlspace or basement, that the air is being filtered and not entering the living space. Is your dryer vent is clogged with lint, squirrel or bird nests? Our expert team provides dryer vent cleaning, dryer vent replacement, nest removal and decontamination service.

After the insulation is removed, we apply cleaning agents, sanitizers and odor removal enzymes. Odor control is very important to address pheromone scents left by rodents, and animals to prevent them from returning. The final step before installing insulation is to air seal and baffle all the air leaks.

Lastly we install loose fill fiberglass, faced batted fiberglass or foam board insulation to attain R-Values of R-38 or R-49. This assures your home or business has maximum energy efficiency for heating and cooling. We provide both residential and commercial restoration services.

Wildlife Damage In Attic or Crawlspace

Squirrels — Squirrels are big chewers and love playing in insulation, scratching at walls, and leaving acorns and other debris all throughout the attic. Grey squirrels are one of the most destructive species of squirrels, especially with gnawing electrical wires and wood causing serious threats to homes.

We remove squirrel nests, and treat with an anti-viral and anti-bacterial to address the diseases that grey squirrels and flying squirrels carry. Tularemia, typhus, plague, ringworm, salmonella and leptospirosis are some of the pathogens and parasites carried by squirrels. Cleaning up rodent droppings and urine is important to maintain safe indoor air quality in the home or business.

Birds — Birds can cause a great deal of damage to insulation, vents, chimneys. Their droppings are toxic, containing corrosive uric acid and their nesting materials contain bird mites and fungal spores. Attics and others spaces should be fully cleaned, sanitized and remediated if there is a bird infestation.

Pigeons, sparrows and starlings are considered to be pest birds because they carry more diseases than rodents and prefer to nest in structures causing health threats. Pest birds carry over 60 different diseases (more than rodents) so cleaning their droppings and removing the nests is important for health safety. Avain tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, cryptosporidiosis and cryptococcosis are some of the diseases associated with birds that make bird droppings and nests a serious health threats.

Rats/Mice — Rats and mice scratch at insulation and walls and can leave droppings just about everywhere. They also urinate wherever they are and their urine and droppings can cause respiratory diseases when particles are inhaled. If duct work in the attic is damaged by the rodents you could have air quality issues. The HVAC system may pull those particles in and distributing them in the air throughout your home or office.
Mice and rats are also notorious for chewing and gnawing on insulation, drywall, electrical wires, plumbing, HVAC, and more. Disease rats and mice carry are hantavirus, leptospirosis, rat bit fever, plague and murine typhus. Rodents cause serious health risks and attic sanitations should be performed to protect your families health.
Bats — Bats can scratch away at the inside of your attic and defecate throughout the space. Bat droppings can cause serious lung infections in those who breathe in the spores and particles. Unlike mice and rat droppings, bat droppings usually pile up in just a few places.
The weight can quickly become a burden on ceilings and drywall. This could lead to sagging, collapsing, and other damage to the space. Likewise, bat guano and urine is corrosive and can lead to wood rot and other damage.
Accumulated dust and spores in bat droppings can spread viruses and bacteria. Some diseases that bats carry are Rabies, histoplasmosis and Ebola. Attic decontamination is a must with heavy bat infestations.
Raccoons— Raccoons and opossums have larger droppings than rodents, but like rodent droppings, raccoon/opossum droppings can carry parasites and disease. Disease and parasites these animals carry are roundworms, leptospirosis, toxoplasmosis, spotted fever and Rabies. In addition to the waste they leave, raccoons cause a lot of damage. These critters tear up insulation, damage wiring, damage ductwork, and often fall down into walls, scratching and clawing to get out. Raccoons and opossums also frequently damage soffits, vents, eaves, flashing, and other building materials in an attempt to break in to the cozy crawlspace or attic.

The waste of all of these animals can actually attract even more insects, mold, fungus and germs, so that’s one more reason to have the waste removed and properly neutralized and deodorized ASAP.

We remove and replace vapor barriers in crawlspaces. We install thick plastic barriers to code to covers all the accessible soil. this creates a moisture barrier to prevent mold, wood boring beetles and wood destroying fungus.
