Attic Insulation, Rodent Proofing & Attic Cleaning in Otay Ranch, CA

Otay Ranch homes are newer than many parts of San Diego — but even newer construction struggles with hot attic temperatures, leaky ducts, builder-grade insulation, and rodent activity along rooflines. Whether you're in Montecito, Heritage, Hillsborough, or any East Chula Vista development, Attic Shield helps homeowners restore and upgrade their attics with attic cleaning, insulation removal, rodent proofing, waste removal, attic sanitization, air sealing, insulation installation, and duct repair & replacement.

Attic Problems in Otay Ranch Homes

Otay Ranch homes may look new and modern — but the attic is usually the most overlooked part of the house. Inland heat, long A/C run cycles, and builder-grade materials lead to common issues, including:

• Thin blown-in insulation from the original build
• Rodent activity in soffits, rooflines, and around HVAC systems
• Air leaks around top plates, can lights, wiring, and plumbing
• Duct systems with crushed or leaking connections
• Attic temperatures exceeding 140°F on hot days

When these issues combine, your home becomes harder to cool, upstairs rooms overheat, and your A/C works twice as hard. Attic Shield repairs the root causes — not just the symptoms.

Attic Shield Services for Otay Ranch Homeowners

Attic Cleaning & Light Debris Removal

If your attic has dust, debris, or light contamination, Attic Shield performs a professional cleaning to prepare the space for rodent work, air sealing, or future insulation upgrades.

Insulation Removal (Old, Builder-Grade, or Contaminated)

Many Otay Ranch homes still have the original insulation from construction — often thin, uneven, or contaminated by rodents. We remove damaged insulation safely and cleanly before rebuilding the attic correctly.

Rodent Proofing (Long-Term Exclusion)

Rodents enter through rooflines, soffits, and gaps left by builders. We seal accessible entry points using rodent-resistant materials that prevent future infestations — not just temporary trapping.

Rodent Waste Removal & Sanitization

Rodent droppings and urine can leave strong odors and contamination. We remove nests and waste, then apply sanitizing products to help neutralize bacteria and odor in the attic.

Full Attic Sanitization

For heavy or long-term infestations, full sanitization may be recommended. We treat framing, sheathing, and other surfaces to restore the sanitation level of the attic.

Attic Air Sealing (Stop Energy Loss)

Air leaks waste energy and make your home harder to cool. We seal top plates, wiring gaps, can lights, and plumbing penetrations to reduce drafts and improve A/C performance.

New Attic Insulation (R-38+ Recommended for Otay Ranch)

After cleaning, sealing, and rodent proofing, we install new insulation to Title 24 standards. Most Otay Ranch homes benefit from R-38 or higher for stable indoor temperatures.

Duct Repair & Replacement

Duct systems in Otay Ranch homes are often kinked, undersized, or leaking. We seal, repair, or replace accessible duct runs to improve airflow and efficiency.
