Home › Attic cleanup
Once the animals are out, the attic they left behind is the next problem: soiled insulation, droppings, chewed wiring and open gaps. We clean and disinfect it, replace what’s ruined, and seal the whole home so it doesn’t start over.
How to tell
Wildlife droppings and urine soak into insulation and carry health risks, from raccoon roundworm to the fungus in bat guano. Left in place, they also keep drawing new animals in with the scent.
Why it matters
A full restoration removes the contaminated insulation, cleans and disinfects the surfaces, and treats the area to neutralize the scent that guides the next animal back. Damaged wiring and ductwork get flagged for repair.
Then the exclusion step seals every entry point around the roofline, vents and soffits, and fresh insulation goes back to restore the R-value. That’s what turns a removal into a fix that holds.
What’s included
A look at the attic, roofline, foundation or yard to find every opening and check for young before anything is sealed.
Trapping or one-way exclusion gets the animal out safely, on the right timeline for the species and season.
Gaps, vents and openings closed with materials the animal can’t chew or push through.
Chewed, torn or dug-out areas repaired so the entry point is sound again.
Droppings and soiled material cleared and disinfected when the job calls for it.
The easy routes an animal used flagged so it stops treating your home as a way in.
Questions
If it’s soaked with urine and droppings, yes. It’s a health concern, it smells, and it keeps drawing animals. Lightly affected areas can sometimes be spot-treated instead.
Sometimes, depending on your policy and the cause. It’s worth asking your carrier. The operator can document the damage for a claim.
Yes, sealing the entry points is the point. Cleaning without sealing just resets the clock until the next animal finds the same opening.
A straightforward cleanup is often a day; a full insulation removal and replacement with exclusion can take longer. You’ll get a scope and timeline after the inspection.
