Spring Cleaning Tips For a Clean Attic

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

We want to talk to you about a system we’ve implemented over the last 12 months that we’re getting great feedback on.

We’re heading into spring and grabbing onto the idea of spring cleaning. One of the areas you are probably not thinking about when you clean your house is your attic. But we’re the attic guys, so we are thinking about your attic!

Here’s what we’ve been doing for our clients to get their attics in great shape: We remove insulation, sanitize the whole attic, foam seal it, and block off any areas where rodents might be able to enter the house. Then we blow in new, fresh, dust-free, formaldehyde-free insulation!

Here’s what these processes look like.

1. Remove insulation

When we come into your house, we’re going to vacuum out all your old, dusty, formaldehyde-filled insulation, whether fiberglass or cellulose or any of the other products that could create air-quality issues, getting into your system or your ductwork. These things could create problems for you, and you may not realize that your insulation is the culprit. We vacuum out all that old insulation, bag it, and take it with us!

2. Sanitize

After the insulation removal, we come through with a couple of different types of products that sanitize your attic. We take care of any soiling or stain or anything on the sheetrock. We wipe down the ductwork and your system. We’ve been very successful with an essential oil product called Thieves.

We use that and a couple of other different types of essential oils. These oils are beneficial for cleaning, sanitizing, and helping your air quality in general. If you’re into essential oils, you’re going to love this! We will make your attic look, feel clean, and smell great.

We are getting incredible feedback about this. Usually, when you walk into your attic, you’re not very excited to be there. We can change that!

3. Seal

Then we exclude any rodents and foam, sealing all cracks and crevices. We take care of any areas where you might get rodents creeping into your attic.

4. New insulation

Finally, we blow in formaldehyde-free, fiberglass insulation up to the current standard insulation levels, which will make a massive difference in the comfort, sound, and noise level of the house. And of course, it will make a big difference to your electric bills!

This is a new deal for us and the industry—not many people are offering this service. Not a lot of companies talk about cleaning up your attic! But it is essential; it can make a difference in your air quality, your electric bill, and the comfort of your home.

Give us a call! We’d love to talk to you about this fantastic new service! We think you’ll be pleased with it.
