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

Santee is one of the hottest inland areas in East County, and that extreme heat destroys insulation, weakens duct systems, and pulls attic air directly into your home. Rodent access is also common in Santee’s older properties, hillsides, and near open land. Attic Shield provides complete attic restoration for Santee homes, including attic cleaning, insulation removal, rodent proofing, rodent waste removal, attic sanitization, air sealing, insulation installation, and duct repair & replacement.

Common Attic Issues in Santee Homes

Santee’s climate hits attics harder than most of San Diego County. Homes here often experience:

• Extreme attic temperatures causing insulation to deteriorate quickly
• Rodent entry from canyon edges, fences, and open land
• Old builder-grade insulation that provides almost no thermal protection
• Unsealed attic penetrations pulling heat into the home
• Duct systems leaking cold air into a 140° attic during summer

These issues lead to hot bedrooms, A/C units running nonstop, high SDG&E bills, and dusty or musty air entering from the attic. Attic Shield provides a full solution — not just patchwork fixes.

Attic Shield Services for Santee

Attic Cleaning

We remove debris, dust, and light contamination — ideal when insulation is salvageable but the attic needs cleanup.

Insulation Removal

Older Santee homes typically have thin, dusty, or contaminated insulation. We remove all damaged material using contained, safe equipment.

Rodent Proofing

Roof gaps, openings around utilities, and foundation transitions allow rodents into Santee attics. We seal every accessible entry point with durable rodent-resistant materials.

Rodent Waste Removal & Sanitization

Rodent droppings and urine leave strong odors — especially in hot inland climates. We remove contamination and sanitize framing and surfaces.

Full Attic Sanitization

Recommended for significant or long-term infestations. Sanitization neutralizes contamination before insulation is installed.

Attic Air Sealing

We seal wiring holes, ceiling gaps, recessed light openings, and wall tops — preventing hot Santee attic air from entering your home.

New insulation installation

Santee requires high-R-value insulation because of its desert-like heat. We install R-38+ insulation to dramatically improve comfort and reduce energy costs.

Duct Repair & Replacement

Hot attics destroy duct systems. We repair or replace damaged ducts, seal connections, and improve airflow throughout your home.
