Insulation Contractors & Crawl Space Specialists

If your energy costs have been unusually high or if odd odors are floating out of your attic or crawl space, then it’s likely time to order a cleanout. 

Our cleanout specialists have the equipment needed to quickly remove: 

• Any debris
• Carcasses
• Droppings
• Damaged or old insulation
• Damaged or old vapor barrier 

Once your space has been cleaned out, we’ll deodorize, sanitize, and disinfect the entire space to kill bacteria. Finally, as your local insulation contractors, we’ll refresh your space with clean and effectively installed insulation.

If your heating costs seem to be increasing or if each heat vent in your home seems to blow a different volume of air, then it’s likely that you have punctures or other problems with your heat ducts. 

As your insulation contractor, we’ll keep an eye out for damage to your heat ducts. Our heat duct repair services include: 

• Heat duct repair. If we find holes in your metal ducts during insulation services, then we’ll repair those holes with sheet metal. If flex ducts have too many punctures, we’ll replace them. 

Metal heat duct seal & re-wrap. We’ll seal all the seams, joints, boots, and registers with a mastic seal. This is much more effective than aluminum tape. To finish, we’ll wrap the heat duct with unfaced r11 batt insulation to create a thermal barrier.

The presence of mold or mildew in your crawl space or attic poses a serious health risk to inhabitants of your home and can also damage the value of your house. 

Our mold removal and remediation services clean out the existing mold and mitigate the conditions that allowed mold to grow — protecting your spaces and air quality for years to come. 

Our mold remediation services include: 

• Removal of mold-infested insulation. In addition to insulation bearing obvious mold growth, we’ll also remove any insulation that has been contaminated with spores or is a potential mold risk. 
• Mold control & mold primer. Our 2-coat process eliminates mold and mildew smell and helps prevent mold/mildew from growing again. Our mold primer comes with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty. 
• Bath fan vent installation or repair. A surprisingly high number of attic bath fan vents in the Pacific Northwest are not connected to roof vents. Instead, they empty bath steam directly into the attic, creating an ideal breeding ground for mold and mildew. We remediate this situation by connecting bath vents to roof vents and replacing, repairing, and sealing bath fan vents where necessary. 
• Additional ventilation installation. The most common cause of mold growth is poor ventilation. Without proper ventilation, water can’t escape your attic or crawl space, and standing water leads to mold. Our dedicated insulation contractors can remediate this problem by adding roof jacks, ridge vents, eave vents, and other solutions.

Lured by your crawl space and attic, bats, mice, rats, and other animals can track disease into your home, pollute the air, and destroy insulation. Protecting your home from these pests requires diligent blocking of all the possible points of entry. 

If you need help protecting your home from rodents and other pests, our insulation contractors can help. Our animal exclusion services include: 

Repair/replace ventilation screens. If damaged, the soffit vents around the perimeter of your foundation provide easy access points for rodents. We’ll mitigate this hole in your defenses by ensuring all your vents are repaired or re-screened. 

Seal foundation entry points. Common crawl space entry points for pests include open drain pipes, foundation drain vents, and burrows at the foot of the foundation. We’ll seal all these openings with concrete and cap all drain vents. 

Install a new vertical crawl space access door. The door you use to access your crawl space is often the primary point of entry for rodents. We’ll custom fabricate a new access door that seals perfectly against your foundation.

It can be challenging to insulate a wall for noise reduction if there’s already drywall installed. At Insulation Co., our experts have solved this problem by investing in specialized equipment that enables us to insulate interior and exterior walls without any demolition or drywall work. 

For interior walls, our technique involves drilling 2” holes at each cavity and filling those holes with cellulose blown-in insulation. Cellulose is a dense and heavy insulation material that we can pack tightly, making it a superior insulation for sound reduction.

For exterior walls, our technique requires drilling 2” holes at each cavity and blowing in Owen’s Corning L77 fiberglass insulation. We use Owen’s because it is formaldehyde-free. If your exterior walls have siding, we remove a row of siding to gain access to the plywood.

For both interior and exterior walls, once the insulation is installed, we cover the holes with a foam or wooden plug. If we removed siding from your external wall, we’ll reinstall the siding after the plug is put in place.
