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

Murrieta homes deal with warm inland summers, cooler winter nights, and steady rodent pressure—especially near open land, trails, and neighborhood greenbelts. Over time, attics can develop thin or contaminated insulation, dusty debris, and air leaks that allow attic heat and odors to enter the living space. 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 Murrieta Homes

Murrieta’s housing includes newer developments and established neighborhoods, and many attics share similar issues that reduce comfort and efficiency. Homeowners commonly deal with:

• Insulation that is old, thin, or contaminated by rodents
• Rodent entry points at roof vents, eaves, and utility penetrations
• Air leaks around plumbing, wiring, recessed lights, and open framing
• Ducting that leaks air or has weak connections that waste energy
• Dust and debris buildup from years of attic access and HVAC work

These problems can cause hot bedrooms, uneven temperatures, higher A/C usage, and attic odors entering the home. Attic Shield improves the full attic system so it performs correctly again.

Full Attic Services for Murrieta by Attic Shield

Attic Cleaning & Debris Removal

For attics with heavy dust, debris, and light contamination, we provide detailed attic cleaning so the space is ready for air sealing and insulation upgrades.

Insulation Removal (Old, Damaged, or Contaminated)

Flattened or contaminated insulation won’t perform and can create odor and air quality concerns. We remove damaged insulation safely so the attic can be rebuilt properly.

Rodent Proofing & Entry-Point Sealing

Rodents often enter through rooflines, vents, and gaps near utility lines. We seal accessible entry points with rodent-resistant materials to help prevent re-entry.

Rodent Waste Removal & Sanitization

We remove droppings, nesting debris, and contaminated materials, then sanitize the attic to reduce odor and bacteria.

Full Attic Sanitization

If contamination is severe or long-term, full attic sanitization restores the space before new insulation is installed.

Attic Air Sealing (Stop Energy Loss)

We seal attic bypasses around top plates, plumbing penetrations, wiring, and recessed lighting to reduce heat transfer and energy loss in your home.

New Attic Insulation (R-38+ for Murrieta)

After cleaning and sealing, we install new insulation that meets California Title 24 requirements. Most Murrieta homes benefit from R-38 or higher for improved comfort and lower cooling costs.

Duct Repair & Replacement

Leaky or damaged ducts waste energy and reduce airflow. We repair duct leaks, replace crushed or deteriorated sections, and improve HVAC performance.
