Attic Insulation, Rodent Proofing & Attic Cleaning in Pacific Beach, San Diego

Pacific Beach is all about sun, surf, and busy streets — but above the ceilings, many homes are dealing with a different story: old insulation, rodent activity, coastal moisture, and air leaks that waste energy. From classic PB beach cottages and rentals to townhomes and remodeled properties, Attic Shield helps homeowners restore and protect their attics with attic cleaning, insulation removal, rodent proofing, rodent waste removal, attic sanitization, attic air sealing, insulation installation, and duct repair & replacement.

Coastal Attic Problems in Pacific Beach Homes

PB’s location near the ocean means attics are constantly exposed to salty air, humidity, and temperature swings. Combine that with older construction and busy rental turnover, and attic problems can build up fast. In Pacific Beach attics, we commonly see:

• Original or very old insulation that’s flattened and patchy
• Rodent nests and droppings near eaves, vents, and over kitchens
• Moisture staining on roof sheathing from coastal conditions
• Unsealed holes around pipes, wires, and recessed lighting
• Ducts running through hot, under-insulated attics leaking air

These issues can make bedrooms hotter, increase odors, and cause your A/C to work harder than it should. Attic Shield focuses on fixing the whole system — not just covering it with more insulation.

Attic Shield Services for Pacific Beach Homeowners

Attic Cleaning & Light Decontamination

Some Pacific Beach attics don’t need a full tear-out but do need a real cleanup. We remove loose debris, accessible droppings, and surface dust so the space above your ceilings is cleaner and ready for any additional rodent or insulation work you choose to do next.

Insulation Removal (Old, Damp, or Contaminated Material)

Many PB homes have insulation that’s been in place for decades — smashed down, dirty, or contaminated from rodents and coastal moisture. Attic Shield removes old insulation using controlled, contained methods so dust and fibers don’t spread throughout your home, giving us a clean surface to rebuild on.

Rodent Proofing for Pacific Beach Rooflines & Eaves

Roof rats love PB — they run along fences, lines, and palm trees straight to your roof. We carefully inspect the roofline, vents, eaves, and utility penetrations, then seal accessible entry points using rodent-resistant materials. The goal is real exclusion, not just setting traps and hoping for the best.

Rodent Waste Removal & Sanitization

Rodent droppings and urine create strong odors, especially with PB’s coastal humidity. We remove heavily contaminated insulation and nesting materials, then apply sanitizing products to exposed surfaces to help neutralize odors and bacteria in the attic space above your home or rental.

Full Attic Sanitization & Odor Control (Severe Infestations)

When Pacific Beach attics have long-term or heavy rodent contamination, we recommend full attic sanitization. This deeper process targets the framing, sheathing, and other surfaces to help reset the attic environment before air sealing and insulation are installed.

Attic Air Sealing (Stop Energy Loss & Drafts)

Gaps at the top of walls, around can lights, pipes, and wiring allow conditioned air to escape into the attic while pulling attic air back into your home. We seal these bypasses so your home can hold temperature better, your A/C doesn’t work as hard, and coastal air stays where it belongs — outside.

New Attic Insulation Installation (R-38+ for PB Homes)

After the attic is cleaned, sanitized, rodent proofed, and sealed, we install new insulation that meets or exceeds California Title 24. In Pacific Beach, we typically bring attics up to R-38 or higher, helping to stabilize room temperatures and reduce energy waste year-round.

Duct Repair & Replacement in Pacific Beach Attics

Ducts routed through hot, leaky attics can lose a lot of cooled or heated air before it ever reaches your rooms. We repair or replace damaged duct runs, seal joints, and ensure ducts are properly insulated so more of your HVAC output goes where you actually need it — not into the attic.

Our Pacific Beach Attic Restoration Process

Every PB project starts with a detailed inspection and photos. We show you exactly what we see inside the attic and build a clear plan so you know what you’re approving. A full Pacific Beach attic restoration often follows this sequence:

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