Attic restoration after wildlife damage in South Jersey

Repair, clean, insulate and seal: one team takes your attic from damaged to safe, clean and energy-efficient after an animal intrusion.

Attic repairs

Larger animals like raccoons can seriously damage the structure of an attic and roofline. Before cleaning or insulating, we fix what they broke.

  • Repair chewed wiring, a serious fire hazard
  • Replace gnawed rafters, joists and vent screens
  • Seal entry and exit points with heavy-gauge metal flashing, wire mesh and construction-grade sealants
  • Secure soffit gaps, roof vents, chimney openings and foundation cracks

Attic cleanout

Animal waste is a health hazard. We remove contaminated material and treat the space so it is safe again.

  • Remove soiled insulation, nesting material and waste using HEPA-filtered vacuums
  • Treat with an EPA-registered disinfectant, virucide and parasiticide
  • Apply a deodorizer to remove lingering odors that can attract other pests

Attic insulation

Insulation that animals have used as a nest or bathroom is compacted, wet and no longer works. We replace it.

  • Remove contaminated or damaged insulation
  • Install new blown-in fiberglass or cellulose
  • Aim for the R-value recommended for the South Jersey climate

Attic encapsulation

The final layer of protection manages the air and moisture boundary of your attic.

  • Air seal gaps and penetrations in the attic floor and ceiling plane
  • Evaluate intake and exhaust ventilation
  • Install a vapor barrier where a structure calls for it

    “… quick response to block the hole to her attic and once confirmed no animal still there, Joe replaced the rotten wood, covered the new wood and put the rain gutter back up. Joe also put the gutter guard on. We were pleased with the quality of the work …”

    “Justin did a great job of communicating with me around the timelines and what to expect. Him and his team were punctual and delivered what we had agreed to. The job included fixing the soffit on my roof where the raccoon had gotten into and it looks perfect!”

FAQ

Attic restoration questions

Still not sure? Call (856) 381-4525 and we’ll talk it through.

Do I need attic cleanout after animals have been in my attic?
Usually yes. Droppings and urine are biological hazards. For example, raccoon waste can carry raccoon roundworm, and rodent droppings can carry hantavirus. Contaminated insulation and nesting material should be removed and the space treated.
What is attic encapsulation?
Encapsulation is air sealing plus a check of your attic ventilation, and in some homes a vapor barrier. It creates an air and moisture boundary that protects new insulation and helps prevent moisture problems.
Can you give me a quote?
Yes. We offer a free, no-obligation quote for attic restoration projects. Call (856) 381-4525 or send a request.
