Attic Insulation, Rodent Proofing & Attic Cleaning in Point Loma, San Diego

From historic homes and bay-view properties to coastal rentals and hillside houses, Point Loma attics deal with salt air, marine layer moisture, and heavy rodent pressure. Over time, insulation settles, ducts leak, and rodents find their way into rooflines and eaves. Attic Shield helps Point Loma 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.

Point Loma’s Unique Attic Challenges

Point Loma’s location between bay and ocean means attics are exposed to coastal moisture, fog, and salt air. Combine that with older construction and multiple remodels, and you get attics that are often:

• Insulated with original or very old material that’s thin or damaged
• Home to rodents traveling along trees, fences, and rooflines
• Marked with moisture or staining on roof sheathing and framing
• Full of unsealed penetrations that leak air between floors
• Crisscrossed by ductwork that leaks cooled or heated air into the attic

These issues lead to hotter upstairs rooms, inconsistent temperatures, odors from above, and higher energy bills. Attic Shield takes a whole-system approach to solving attic problems in Point Loma — not just “blowing in more insulation and leaving.”

Attic Shield Services for Point Loma Homeowners

Attic Cleaning & Light Debris Removal

Some Point Loma attics don’t need a full tear-out, but they are dusty, messy, and overdue for a proper cleanup. Attic Shield removes loose debris, accessible droppings, and surface dust to improve the space above your ceilings and prepare the attic for rodent work or insulation upgrades if needed.

Insulation Removal (Old, Damp, or Contaminated Material)

In older Point Loma homes, insulation is often original, settled, or contaminated from rodents and moisture. We remove damaged insulation using controlled, contained methods so dust and fibers don’t spread into your living space, giving us a clean base for sanitization, sealing, and new insulation.

Rodent Proofing for Point Loma Rooflines & Eaves

Roof rats are active around the peninsula, using trees, fences, and wires to reach roofs. We inspect eaves, vents, roof intersections, and penetrations, then seal accessible entry points using rodent-resistant materials. The goal is long-term exclusion so rodents can’t simply return after cleanup.

Rodent Waste Removal & Sanitization

Rodent droppings, urine, and nests are common in older Point Loma attics. We remove heavily contaminated materials and apply sanitizing products to exposed surfaces to help reduce odors and bacteria in the space above your home or rental property.

Full Attic Sanitization & Odor Control (Severe Infestations)

For long-term or severe rodent activity, full attic sanitization may be needed. We treat framing, sheathing, and other surfaces to help neutralize contamination before completing the project with air sealing and new insulation installation.

Attic Air Sealing (Stop Energy Loss Between Floors)

Gaps around can lights, pipes, chases, and framing allow conditioned air to escape into the attic and pull attic air back into the home. We seal these bypasses to improve comfort, reduce drafts, and help your HVAC system work more efficiently in Point Loma’s coastal climate.

New Attic Insulation Installation (R-38+ for Point Loma)

After cleaning, sanitization, rodent proofing, and air sealing, we install new insulation that meets or exceeds California Title 24 guidelines. For Point Loma homes, we typically bring attics up to R-38 or higher, helping maintain more even temperatures and reduce energy waste.

Duct Repair & Replacement in Point Loma Attics

Ducts that run through hot, leaky attics can lose a lot of cooled or heated air before it reaches your rooms. We repair or replace damaged duct runs, seal joints, and ensure ducts are properly insulated so more of your HVAC output actually reaches your living space instead of leaking into the attic.

Our Point Loma Attic Restoration Process

Every Point Loma project starts with a thorough inspection and photo documentation. We show you what we find inside the attic and walk you through options so you know exactly what you’re approving. A full attic restoration in Point Loma often looks like this:

1. Protect floors, hallways, and attic access with 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 attic.
6. Install new attic 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 final condition of your attic.
