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

Miramar and the surrounding neighborhoods near the Marine base include a mix of older single-family homes, townhomes, and smaller multifamily buildings. Many of these properties still have original insulation, active rodent activity, and leaky duct systems that make bedrooms, living rooms, and home offices difficult to keep comfortable. Attic Shield helps Miramar-area homeowners restore and upgrade their attics with attic cleaning, insulation removal, rodent proofing, rodent waste removal, attic sanitization, attic air sealing, insulation installation, and duct repair & replacement.

Attic Problems We See in Miramar-Area Homes

Miramar’s warm inland climate, older construction, and mixed-use surroundings create a predictable set of attic issues. In homes around Miramar we commonly find:

• Original or builder-grade insulation that’s thin, dirty, or heavily settled
• Rodent nests, droppings, and tunnels throughout insulation and along framing
• Unsealed wall tops, can lights, and mechanical chases leaking conditioned air
• Duct systems that are kinked, leaking, or poorly insulated
• Very hot attic temperatures pushing heat into bedrooms and living areas

These issues show up as hot or stuffy rooms, musty attic odors, noisy HVAC cycles, and high SDG&E bills. Attic Shield focuses on the whole attic system — not just blowing new insulation on top of existing problems.

Attic Shield Services for Miramar Homeowners

Attic Cleaning & Light Debris Removal

For Miramar-area homes with dusty, cluttered, or lightly contaminated attics, Attic Shield provides professional attic cleaning. We remove loose debris, accessible droppings, and surface dust so the space above your ceilings is cleaner and ready for rodent proofing, air sealing, or new insulation if needed.

Insulation Removal (Old, Damaged, or Contaminated Material)

Many Miramar homes still have insulation from earlier decades — flattened batts, patchy blown-in material, or sections contaminated by rodents. We remove old insulation using controlled, contained methods so dust and fibers don’t spread into your home, giving us a clean base for sanitization, air sealing, and new insulation installation.

Rodent Proofing for Miramar Rooflines & Eaves

Nearby canyons, open lots, and utility lines give rodents easy access to rooflines in the Miramar area. Once inside the attic, they tunnel through insulation, chew materials, and nest near ducts and wiring. We inspect eaves, vents, roof intersections, stucco gaps, and penetrations, then seal accessible entry points using rodent-resistant materials for long-term exclusion, not just a short-term trapping visit.

Rodent Waste Removal & Sanitization

Rodent droppings, urine, and nesting materials create strong odors and unhealthy attic conditions. Attic Shield removes heavily contaminated material and applies sanitizing products to exposed surfaces to help reduce odor and bacteria in the attic space above your living areas.

Full Attic Sanitization (Severe or Long-Term Activity)

When Miramar-area attics have long-term or severe rodent infestations, we recommend full attic sanitization. This deeper treatment targets framing, sheathing, and other surfaces to help neutralize contamination before we rebuild the attic with air sealing and new insulation.

Attic Air Sealing (Stop Energy Loss & Hot Spots)

Gaps at the top of walls, around recessed lights, and at plumbing or wiring penetrations allow conditioned air to escape into the attic while pulling very hot attic air back into the home. We seal these bypasses so your Miramar home holds temperature better and your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard during warm inland days.

New Attic Insulation Installation (R-38+ for Miramar’s Climate)

After cleaning, sanitization, rodent proofing, and air sealing, we install new insulation that meets or exceeds California Title 24 requirements. In the Miramar area, we typically bring attics up to R-38 or higher to help bedrooms, living rooms, and home offices stay more comfortable throughout hot days and cooler nights.

Duct Repair & Replacement in Miramar Attics

Older duct systems or multiple remodels often leave Miramar homes with kinked, leaking, or poorly insulated ducts. We repair or replace accessible duct runs, seal joints, and ensure ducts are properly insulated so more of your cooled or heated air reaches the rooms where you actually need it instead of being lost in the attic.

Our Miramar Attic Restoration Process

Every project in the Miramar area starts with a detailed attic inspection and full photo documentation. We show you exactly what we see — insulation levels, rodent evidence, air leaks, and duct issues — and then design a scope of work around your home and budget. A complete attic restoration usually follows this sequence:

1. Protect floors, stairs, and attic access with coverings.
2. Remove old, damaged, or contaminated insulation where necessary.
3. Perform rodent waste removal and apply sanitization products.
4. Seal rodent entry points along rooflines, eaves, vents, and penetrations.
5. Air seal major gaps between your living space and the attic.
6. Install new attic insulation to the proper R-value for the inland climate.
7. Repair or replace accessible ductwork if included in your scope.
8. Provide after-photos so you can see the finished condition of your attic.
