Attic Insulation, Rodent Proofing & Attic Cleaning in Escondido, CA

Escondido’s diverse housing — from 1950s ranch homes to newer developments — deals with unique attic challenges. Inland heat, older insulation, rodent activity, and leaky attic air pathways make many Escondido homes run hot, uneven, and energy-inefficient. Attic Shield provides complete attic restoration services, including attic cleaning, insulation removal, rodent proofing, waste removal, attic sanitization, air sealing, insulation installation, and duct repair & replacement.

Common Attic Problems in Escondido Homes

Because Escondido is inland, attics regularly exceed 140°F during hot months. Older homes and remodeled properties typically have:

• Old, thin, or rodent-contaminated insulation
• Rodent nests and entry points along rooflines & vents
• Air leaks around pipes, wiring, and open framing
• Duct systems that are crushed, leaking, or poorly insulated
• Dust and debris left from decades of electrical and HVAC work

All of this leads to hot rooms, noisy A/C systems, foul attic odors, and higher energy bills. Attic Shield corrects the entire system — not just the insulation.

Full Attic Services for Escondido by Attic Shield

Attic Cleaning & Debris Removal

For attics that have dust, debris, and light rodent activity, Attic Shield performs full cleaning and prepares the space for upgrades and sealing.

Insulation Removal (Old, Damaged, or Contaminated)

Many Escondido attics still have insulation from decades ago — flattened, dirty, or contaminated. We remove all damaged insulation cleanly and safely to rebuild the attic correctly.

Rodent Proofing & Entry-Point Sealing

Rodents enter through vents, rooflines, utility openings, and gaps created over time. We seal accessible points with rodent-resistant materials and stop re-entry long-term.

Rodent Waste Removal & Sanitization

We remove nests, droppings, and contaminated material, then apply sanitation solutions to reduce odor and bacteria in the attic space.

Full Attic Sanitization

Severe or long-term rodent activity often requires full sanitization. This restores attic surfaces, sheathing, and framing before new insulation is installed.

Attic Air Sealing (Stop Energy Loss)

We seal leaks around wall tops, plumbing, can lights, and wiring — helping your home stay cooler and more efficient in Escondido’s hot climate.

New Attic Insulation (R-38+ for Escondido)

After cleanup and sealing, we install new insulation that meets California Title 24. Most Escondido homes benefit from R-38 or higher to maintain cooler indoor temperatures.

Duct Repair & Replacement

Old or poorly insulated ducts waste energy. We fix leaks, replace crushed sections, and ensure proper airflow.
