Up to 40% of the air your family breathes passes through the attic. When rodent droppings, urine-soaked insulation, and animal nesting debris are up there, that contamination is in every room of the house. We handle the full attic cleaning scope: industrial vacuum removal of old insulation, decontamination and sanitization of the attic deck, and installation of fresh insulation so the space is clean, safe, and performing again.

Proof

Most attic cleanouts start because of wildlife

You do not usually wake up one morning thinking about attic cleaning. You find droppings. You smell something wrong. An inspector flags contaminated insulation during a home sale. The contamination is real, the air quality impact is measurable, and the cleanup has to be done right. We handle the animal source AND the cleanup — one crew, full cycle, no handoffs.

Full contamination vacuum removal

We remove every inch of contaminated insulation using industrial HEPA-filtered vacuum equipment. Rodent droppings, urine, nesting material, and degraded insulation come out completely — we do not blow new material over a contaminated base.

Attic decontamination and sanitization

After removal, we treat the attic deck with antimicrobial and deodorizing agents that eliminate bacteria, odor, and residual contamination. The attic is sanitized to a clean baseline before any new material goes in.

Fresh insulation installation

With a clean attic deck, we install new blown-in insulation to the proper R-value for your climate zone. If the cleanout was triggered by wildlife, we can scope the exclusion work into the same project so you do not end up cleaning out the same attic twice.

How it works

The attic cleanout process

1

Inspect the contamination

We assess the full attic condition — type and extent of contamination, insulation damage, odor sources, and how the animals accessed the space. You get an honest picture of what needs to come out before any work starts.

2

Vacuum remove all contaminated insulation

Our crew uses industrial vacuum equipment to remove contaminated insulation, droppings, nesting debris, and degraded material from the attic. Nothing contaminated stays behind.

3

Decontaminate and sanitize the space

We treat the exposed attic deck with professional-grade antimicrobial and deodorizing agents. This step eliminates residual bacteria, odor, and contamination that insulation removal alone does not address.

4

Install new insulation

Once the attic is clean and sanitized, we install fresh blown-in insulation to the appropriate depth and R-value. The attic goes from a contamination liability to a properly performing thermal barrier.

Scope & Coverage

We handle the source and the cleanup

An attic cleaning company that only removes insulation without addressing the wildlife entry point is setting you up for a repeat job. We inspect the full structure, identify how animals got in, and scope the cleanout alongside the exclusion work that actually prevents the next infestation.

What customers say

Proof from the field

They showed me photos of everything they found, sealed every entry point, and the house has been silent since.

Sarah M.

Montclair, NJ

They were the only company that actually got into the attic with me and showed me the problem instead of just pitching a price.

Dave K.

Staten Island, NY

They cleared the infestation, cleaned the contamination, and got the attic inspection-ready fast. It saved the sale.

Common questions

How much does attic cleaning cost?

Attic cleaning cost depends on the size of the attic, the type and extent of contamination, and whether insulation replacement is included. A basic cleanout for a small attic with light contamination costs less than a full-scope job involving complete insulation removal, decontamination, and reinstall across a large attic. Most attic cleaning jobs we complete include contaminated insulation removal, sanitization, and new blown-in insulation — which is why the scope varies. We inspect first and quote based on what we actually find, not a per-square-foot template.

What's included in an attic cleanout?

Our attic cleanout includes four steps: inspection of all contamination and damage, industrial vacuum removal of contaminated insulation and debris, antimicrobial decontamination and sanitization of the attic deck, and installation of fresh blown-in insulation. If the contamination was caused by wildlife, we can also scope the exclusion work that prevents re-entry — so you are not paying for the same cleanout twice.

Is contaminated insulation dangerous?

Yes. Rodent droppings and urine in insulation can harbor hantavirus, salmonella, and other airborne pathogens. Up to 40% of the air in your living space passes through the attic — contaminated insulation means contaminated air circulating through every room. Beyond health risks, wildlife-damaged insulation loses 40–70% of its R-value, which means higher energy bills and uneven temperatures throughout the house.

How long does attic cleaning take?

Most attic cleaning jobs are completed in a single day. Larger attics or severe contamination may take two days. We confirm the timeline during inspection based on attic size, accessibility, and the scope of contamination. The insulation reinstall typically happens the same day as the removal and sanitization.

Do you replace the insulation after cleaning?

Yes. Cleaning out contaminated insulation without replacing it leaves you with an uninsulated attic, which means extreme energy loss and comfort problems. We install fresh blown-in insulation to the proper R-value for your climate zone as part of the standard cleanout scope.
