Keeping up with attic work is tricky enough for any homeowner, but it’s even more difficult when your home has more than one attic. In larger houses with multiple unique attic spaces, all of these attics need to be cleaned and maintained to avoid problems.

The good news is that hiring a company that’s ready to deliver custom attic solutions can help. In this article, you’ll find out how the crew at Attic Projects took care of insulation installation, rodent proofing, and other tasks across four attic spaces in a single house.

Why Is Attic Maintenance Important for Homeowners?

If you’re like many homeowners, it’s been a while since the last time you’ve visited your attic. But when issues start developing in these spaces, they can get worse quickly – especially if you don’t have an opportunity to catch them right away.

That means regularly inspecting your attic (or hiring someone to do this work for you, especially if you have multiple attic spaces) is crucial. By doing that, you’ll enjoy improved:

Insulation performance. Even undamaged, top-notch insulation will need to be replaced at some point. When insulation gets old or contaminated, it can’t control temperatures in your home as effectively as it should.

Air quality. If issues like rodent infestations or mold growth get out of control in your attic, you could suffer from worse indoor air quality. These problems can also negatively affect the health of people living in your home.

Value for your home. Problems like infestations and mold growth can make it considerably harder for you to find a buyer for your house.

How Attic Projects Maintained Four Attic Spaces in One Home

A while ago, a client contacted Attic Projects to schedule rodent proofing and other services for attic spaces in his 4,581-square-foot home. While thinking about how to approach this project, our team members knew they would have to take this house’s attic layout into account.

Instead of a single attic, this home had four distinct attic spaces, ranging from 750 to 100 square feet:

  • An attic near the center of the house
  • An attic in the master bedroom closet
  • An attic in the garage
  • An attic in the guest bedroom over the garage

Our Maintenance Strategy to Address the Homeowner’s Attic Problems

All four of these attics posed unique challenges related to accessibility, HVAC, insulation, and rodent proofing. Because of that, the professionals at Attic Projects evaluated the attics separately and found custom solutions for each of these spaces.

From there, our crew:

  • Installed insulation. Attic Projects team members used different insulation materials across different attic spaces. For example, they installed batt insulation around HVAC equipment in one attic and blown-in insulation elsewhere.
  • Handled rodent proofing. Due to ongoing roofing work, our workers took care of rodent-proofing work from inside the attics as much as possible. As part of these efforts, they set multiple traps in each of the four attics.
  • Took care of air duct sealing. By sealing attic air ducts, our crew helped the client’s HVAC system run more efficiently.
  • Did some remodeling work. Attic Projects workers also removed a pony wall in one of the client’s attic spaces.
  • Vacuumed/sanitized the attics. After removing rodent droppings from the client’s attic spaces, the team at Attic Projects left these areas as clean as possible by sanitizing and vacuuming them.

Attic Services for Homes With More Than One Attic Space

Do you need services like these for your attic (or attics)? If so, here’s how we help clients looking for:

Attic Insulation Installation

Your attic insulation should be able to keep temperatures comfortable in your home. If it can’t, it’s time to start thinking about installing new insulation material – or hiring professionals to install it for you. The crew at Attic Projects can help you choose the right insulation material(s) for your needs and install it as soon as possible.

Having functional insulation is especially important from a financial point of view. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, taking efficiency-related steps like installing insulation can reduce people’s heating and cooling bills by an average of 15%.

Rodent Proofing

Since attics tend to be dim, infrequently used, and full of potential nesting material, they’re ideal for rodents seeking shelter. Because of that, the average homeowner is all too likely to encounter a rodent infestation in their attic at some point.

If you’re worried about this possibility, look out for warning signs like unexpected noises, rodent droppings, and insulation damage. When you notice red flags like these, get humane rodent proofing services from experts you can trust.

Attic Cleaning

Even if they work hard to keep their home clean, most people don’t give their attic the same level of attention as their living spaces. That said, having materials like dust and rodent droppings in your attic can easily lead to health problems.

While you may be able to do a bit of dusting in your attic, professional attic cleaning services go further than that. Expert cleaners will inspect attics before thoroughly vacuuming them and applying commercial-grade disinfectant.

Attic Air Duct Repair and Air Sealing

Along with being inefficient, leaky air ducts in your attic can spread dust and allergens throughout your home. If it’s been a while since you last checked your air ducts, it might be time to let a skilled technician take a look at your HVAC system.

The experts at Attic Projects use thermal cameras and other technologies to find leaks in air ducts. Once they know where your vents need attention, they’ll seal these leaks for you.

Get Professional Attic Maintenance for Your Home

In large homes with multiple attics, custom attic solutions are a must. But no matter how many attics your house has, you should never settle for an attic service company that takes a “one-size-fits-all” approach to its work.

Instead, you’ll be much better off finding a crew that goes above and beyond on every assignment. When you need exceptional attic services at affordable rates, Attic Projects has you covered. If you’re looking for someone to handle any type of attic repair or maintenance work, get in touch today!
