Is your attic in good condition right now? If you’re like many homeowners, you might not know the answer to this question off the top of your head. But even though you shouldn’t have to think about your attic that often, hidden attic damage can lead to a ton of unexpected issues.

Because of that, it’s a good idea to check your attic every so often – and to know who to call when this space is dealing with serious problems. Read on to learn how the team at Attic Projects fixed attic damage for one client during what was supposed to be a simple cleaning project.

Why Regular Attic Inspections Matter

Attics are easy to ignore, so it can be tempting to take an “out of sight, out of mind” approach to these spaces. That said, hidden issues in your attic can have an impact on:

  • Indoor air quality. Mold growth and rodent infestations can seriously affect home air quality. If you ignore these issues, they could even cause health problems for you and everyone else living in your house.
  • Insulation efficiency. Even if your insulation hasn’t sustained damage from rodents or leaks, this material will need to be replaced eventually. Insulation suffering from age or damage can’t control temperatures as it should, which can translate to higher utility bills and other problems.
  • Your home’s value. Does your attic have a rodent problem or mold growth? That could turn off potential buyers, making it harder to get a fair price for your house.

Regular inspections can give you a better chance of noticing attic problems before they get out of control. That means it’s in your best interest to inspect your attic at least a few times each year.

How Attic Projects Discovered and Repaired Hidden Attic Damage

One recent Attic Projects job is a perfect demonstration of why homeowners should take attic inspections seriously. On that job, a client hired our team for what seemed like a straightforward attic cleaning assignment.

However, it wasn’t long before Attic Projects’ crew members discovered unexpected problems in this client’s attic spaces. One attic entrance was hidden inside the master bedroom’s ceiling, making this space hard to access. Meanwhile, another attic area suffered from mold growth, insulation damage, and extensive rodent activity (including dead rodents).

Attic Cleaning and Damage Restoration Services We Provided

While the average homeowner might have had trouble getting an attic like this back to normal, the professionals at Attic Projects knew exactly how to set things right. To deal with this attic damage, our crew:

  • Removed insulation. Since the attic’s existing insulation was contaminated, we got rid of it for our client.
  • Handled insulation installation. After our workers took out the contaminated insulation material, they replaced it with new batt insulation.
  • Cleaned the attic. To get the attic back in good condition, we vacuumed debris and sanitized this space.
  • Took care of mold remediation. As part of their attic sanitization efforts, Attic Projects workers also sprayed for mold.
  • Rodent-proofed the attic. To keep rodent activity from becoming a recurring problem, we went through the attic and sealed every potential entry point.
  • Sealed air ducts. During our attic work, we made sure the air ducts in our client’s home were fully sealed.

A Closer Look at Our Professional Attic Services

Want to learn more about what the crew at Attic Projects can do for your attic? Here’s a more detailed overview of some attic services our company offers:

Attic Cleaning

A dusty attic might not sound like a huge issue, but dust can have a surprisingly significant impact on your health. And dust isn’t the only material you need to worry about in your attic – these spaces can also harbor debris, rodent droppings, and other unwanted materials.

For the best results, consider finding a company you can trust for professional attic cleaning services. Professional attic cleaning goes far beyond basic dusting; instead, it involves a thorough inspection, in-depth vacuuming, and sanitation with a commercial-grade disinfectant.

Attic Insulation Installation

Your home needs to be a comfortable space for you to spend time, and insulation plays a huge role in making that possible. Adding insulation to your house can also help you save money. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has stated that installing insulation and taking other steps to improve home efficiency can lower heating and cooling bills by 15% on average.

If your attic doesn’t have insulation or doesn’t have enough of this material, the workers at Attic Projects can help. We’ll work with you to find the best insulation type and R-value for your attic space, and we’ll install this material for you right away.

Attic Insulation Removal

Is your attic insulation contaminated or simply at the end of its lifespan? Either way, you need to get rid of this material as soon as possible.

The Attic Projects team can safely remove old insulation without exposing you to health risks along the way. Once we’ve taken that insulation out, we’ll replace it with brand-new insulation material.

Mold Remediation

Mold growth in your attic isn’t something you should leave alone. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, mold exposure can cause symptoms like stuffy noses, coughing, and burning eyes. And the longer you wait to deal with this situation, the worse it will get.

When you reach out to Attic Projects for help with your mold problem, we’ll start by performing a free inspection to understand the extent of this situation. From there, we’ll thoroughly dry the area, remove contaminated debris, and apply fungicide to surfaces in your attic.

Air Duct Work

Your air ducts are responsible for sending air throughout your home. Of course, this system can run into all sorts of problems – including contaminant build-up, leaks, and damage.

Since duct systems are incredibly sensitive, only trained professionals should work on your air ducts. You can count on us whenever you need air duct cleaning, repair, and sealing services.

Rodent Proofing

Attics are perfect for rodents looking for a home – they’re usually dark, undisturbed, and filled with material these creatures can use for their nests. Unfortunately, that means rodent infestations are all too common in attic spaces.

Have you spotted red flags like rodent droppings, strange noises, chewed wires, or damaged insulation in your attic? If so, there’s a good chance you’re dealing with a rodent problem. Luckily, our team of experts can provide humane rodent proofing services.
