Common Problems We Solve for Home Buyers

What’s hiding in your attic?

You’d be surprised how many homes on the market have serious attic issues—many of them overlooked in general home inspections. AtticShield identifies and corrects these common concerns:

We’re the attic inspection and remediation team buyers call after the inspection—but before move-in.

Services for New Homeowners & Buyers

🏠 Pre-Move-In Attic Inspection & Assessment

Our team will inspect the attic before you move in and provide a full report including:

• High-resolution photos & videos

• Rodent activity signs

• Insulation condition and R-value

• Ventilation health

• Air duct performance

• Moisture or mold concerns

• Entry points for rodents or pests

This inspection gives you clarity and a solid plan—so you don’t move into a problem home.

🧼 Attic Sanitation & Rodent Waste Removal

Found rat droppings, urine stains, or foul attic smells?

We’ll disinfect the entire attic using hospital-grade, pet-safe, non-toxic sanitation sprays that neutralize:

• Bacteria & viruses from rodents

• Parasites & allergens

• Odors & pheromones that attract more pests

This is essential for families with kids, pets, or allergies. Our sanitation process ensures a safe attic environment from day one.

🐀 Rodent Proofing for Long-Term Protection

Even if no rodents are present now, older homes (and even new builds) often have exposed vents, roof gaps, and wall penetrations that allow rodents inside.

We provide:

• Full attic and exterior inspection

• Sealing of all entry points with galvanized mesh, foam, and stucco patch

• Optional: Traps set for existing activity

• 1-year warranty on sealed areas

This service ensures you won’t hear scratching at night in your new home.

🌡️ Insulation Removal & Installation (Up to R-49)

If the existing insulation is outdated, damaged, or rodent-contaminated, we’ll remove and replace it completely.

Our process includes:

• Vacuum-powered removal into sealed containment bags

• Full attic air sealing and gap closure

• Blown-in fiberglass or cellulose insulation up to R-30, R-38, or R-49 (as required by your zip code and Title 24 standards)

• Installing batt insulation around the attic entrance

• Measurement sticks to show exact depth installed

New insulation can reduce energy bills by 20–40%, improve comfort, and boost indoor air quality—a smart upgrade before move-in.

🔧 Air Duct Inspection, Repair & Replacement

Many homes—especially those over 10 years old—have leaky, crushed, or unsealed air ducts. This leads to uneven heating and cooling, dusty rooms, and high utility bills.

Our ductwork services include:

• Full attic air duct inspection

• Repairing damaged or leaking ducts

• Replacing ducts with R-6 or R-8 insulated flexible lines

• Re-balancing airflow for better comfort

We ensure your HVAC system works efficiently from day one.

🌬️ Attic Ventilation Upgrades

Improper attic ventilation can trap heat, cause moisture problems, and shorten roof lifespan. We offer:

• Solar-powered attic fan installation

• Passive roof vent upgrades

• Gable fan installations (non-electrical)

Proper airflow keeps your attic cool, reduces HVAC load, and protects your investment long term.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: My home inspector didn’t find rodent activity—should I still get an attic inspection?
A: Yes. Most home inspectors don’t enter or fully inspect attics. We check areas often missed—like soffits, wall gaps, and under insulation.

Q: Can you work with my realtor during escrow?
A: Absolutely. We coordinate directly with agents and provide official inspection reports.

Q: How much does a full attic remediation cost?
A: It depends on the size and scope. We offer free estimates and honest, transparent pricing.

Q: Is it better to do this work before or after moving in?
A: Always before. It’s safer, cleaner, and easier when the attic is empty and accessible.
