Insulation Services Photo Album: Attic sanitation and improving upstairs comfort in Mingo Junction, OH 43938
Carrie reached out after dealing with uncomfortable temperature swings upstairs and discovering rodent droppings in the attic. Even when the problem starts in the attic, it can impact how the entire home feels.
When we evaluated the space, it was clear that contamination needed to be addressed, but there were also air leakage issues contributing to the uneven temperatures upstairs.
Our team started by safely removing and disinfecting the attic to eliminate rodent contamination and restore a clean environment. Once the attic was properly treated, we focused on improving performance. We sealed attic air leaks, sealed top plates and key leakage areas, and insulated the attic access opening to stop conditioned air from escaping.
By tightening the attic system, we helped reduce the temperature swings Carrie was experiencing upstairs. Now the attic is clean and sanitized, and the upstairs is noticeably more comfortable with better temperature consistency.
