FRESHLY RESTORED ATTIC

We offer attic restoration services to all of Vero, Cocoa, Melbourne, Titusville and surrounding areas. Also known as attic abatement or attic remediation, attic restoration is for homes that need old insulation removed, the attic vacuumed, sanitized, and new insulation installed. Here are a few situations that may require an attic remediation:
 

• Older homes: Insulation typically begins to degrade after 25 to 30 years. When insulation reaches the end of its lifespan, it becomes ineffective, dry, crumbly, and can release airborne particles, which can lower your home's air quality and contribute to dust buildup. Additionally, aged insulation occupies valuable space that could be filled with effective insulation, reducing its ability to regulate your home's temperature efficiently. This forces your air conditioning system to work harder to maintain desired temperatures, leading to increased energy bills and potentially shortening the lifespan of your HVAC equipment.

​

• ​ Rat infestations in the attic: Rodents are attracted to attics for nesting, leaving behind droppings, urine, and an unpleasant odor. This not only poses a significant air quality issue but also creates a potential health hazard for homeowners. The presence of rodent waste can introduce allergens and pathogens into the air, exacerbating respiratory problems and other health issues for residents. Moreover, addressing rodent infestations promptly is crucial to prevent structural damage to insulation and other materials in the attic, ensuring both the safety of the home and the well-being of its occupants.

• Water damage or condensation in the attic: Roof leaks, condensation, or excessive moisture in the attic can damage insulation and promote mold or fungus growth. This moisture buildup not only compromises the effectiveness of insulation but also poses health risks due to mold spores circulating in the air. Addressing condensation issues may involve ensuring proper ventilation and managing insulation levels appropriately to prevent moisture accumulation. Sometimes an attic can be over insulated and this can attribute to condensation and moisture in the attic. Florida attics need 12 to 16 inches of insulation. Anything more causes more harm than good.

•  Hearing strange noises in your attic? Unwelcome visitors moving into your attic? Attic restorations become necessary following wildlife infestations by critters like raccoons, squirrels, bats, or possums. Despite their cute appearances, these animals can wreak havoc by tearing apart insulation, bringing in debris for nests, and leaving behind feces and urine throughout the attic. Their presence not only creates a mess but also poses health risks as their droppings may harbor dangerous bacteria. For instance, bat guano is known to carry histoplasmosis, a respiratory disease, while raccoons can carry Baylisascaris procyonis, a roundworm that can be harmful to humans if ingested. Effective removal and sanitation are crucial to ensure a safe and hygienic living environment in your home. Additionally, sealing entry points will prevent future wildlife intrusions, preserving both the integrity of your attic and the well-being of your household.

• Unexplained Health Issues: Are you feeling unwell in your own home? If you notice symptoms improve when you're away, it could indicate compromised air quality in your attic. Factors like aged, dusty, or contaminated insulation, along with moisture or mold issues, can significantly impact your health. Insulation treated with chemicals like boric acid or pesticides may also contribute to these problems. These issues can lead to respiratory discomfort, allergic reactions, and exacerbate conditions such as asthma. If you're experiencing unexplained health issues and suspect your home's air quality is a factor, reach out to us for a complimentary consultation. We've successfully helped numerous homeowners by identifying and addressing insulation and air quality issues, restoring peace of mind and creating healthier living environments. Don't compromise on your health—take proactive steps to ensure the air you breathe at home is safe and clean.​

At our company, we specialize in the thorough removal of old and dirty insulation from Brevard County homes. In addition to insulation removal, we also replace old insulation with new, high-quality materials.

Homeowners may need to remove their attic insulation for various reasons, one of the most common being rodent infestations. Rats and other rodents contaminate attics with feces, urine, and nesting materials, significantly damaging insulation by tunneling through it. Other culprits include raccoons, squirrels, possums, bats, and insects. We have the expertise and equipment necessary to handle any rodent and wildlife problems in your attic efficiently and safely.
 

Another reason for attic insulation removal is the natural degradation over time. Insulation can become crumbly, dusty, flat, and so old that it loses its effectiveness and can even become airborne, posing health risks. This makes insulation removal and replacement a necessity for older homes. It is generally recommended to replace attic insulation after 25 years to ensure it remains effective.
 

Signs that your insulation needs to be replaced include struggling air conditioning systems, high electric bills, constant dust accumulation, or health issues that seem linked to your attic environment. These problems often indicate that your insulation is old, contaminated, or ineffective.

Once we remove the outdated insulation, we offer blown-in fiberglass insulation as a replacement. Call us today at 863-777-0210 for a fast and free estimate for your attic insulation removal project.
