Rodents in the attic are more than an annoyance. They damage insulation, contaminate surfaces, and create ongoing stress for homeowners. That is exactly what Lisa wanted to put behind her. She called American Crawl to have her attic rodent proofed, cleaned, and fully re-insulated.
Here is how it went.
We had our attic rodent proofed, cleaned out and all new insulation. Jeremy and his team were great
3 Steps to a Rodent Proof Attic
Step One: Stop the Rodent Problem at the Source
Attic insulation alone does not solve a rodent issue. Entry points must be sealed, contaminated materials removed, and the space properly cleaned before new insulation goes in. That is why rodent proofing comes first.
Our team sealed vulnerable areas, addressed access points, and made sure the attic was ready for a full reset. This protects the new attic insulation from being ruined again.
Step Two: Thorough Inspection Before New Insulation
Lisa’s project was not rushed. Before new insulation was installed, the work area was reviewed by management.
Everything was inspected by Shawn the branch manager prior to getting the new insulation.
This extra step ensures the attic is clean, properly prepared, and ready for long-term performance. We believe attic insulation should last, not just look good on day one.
Step Three: Full Cleanout and New Attic Insulation
Rodents leave behind more than nests. They leave droppings, odors, and damaged insulation that no longer performs. That is why a complete cleanout matters.
Old insulation was removed. The attic was cleaned. New, high-quality attic insulation was installed to restore energy efficiency, comfort, and indoor air quality.
Clear Communication at Every Stage
Many homeowners never see what happens in their attic. Lisa appreciated the transparency.
Everything went as scheduled and we were shown before, during and after photos.
We document the process so you know exactly what was done and why. That level of communication builds trust and helps homeowners feel confident about their investment.
The Result: A Rodent Proof Attic and Long-Term Peace of Mind
Now we have peace of mind for the next 10 years.
That is the goal. Not just a quick fix, but lasting protection. Proper rodent proofing combined with professional attic insulation helps prevent future damage, improves energy efficiency, and creates a cleaner, healthier home.
