Insulation Services Photo Album: Rodent clean up Mars Pa home and make more comfortable year round
Joanie from Mars Pa called Home environment solutions saying she saw rodent droppings in her attic and she would also like to know how to make her home more energy efficient. We sent Russ to her home to perform a free home energy audit. Russ found loose insulation covered with rodent droppings, unsealed scuttle and multiple unsealed electrical and pipe runs.
When our insulation team arrived first they removed all the old batt insulation and disposed of it. Cleaned and sanitized from the rodent droppings.
Air sealed and insulated the Scuttle cover, sealed the chimney chase with metal flashing, fire caulk and wrapped with rock wool sleeve .Installed Titeshell over top of can lights and sealed with Zypfoam. Air sealed all accessible penetrations interior and exterior. Installed Trusoft cellulose on attic floor.
