Attic Cleanout & Restoration in NJ, NY & PA
Your attic is contaminated. Here’s how an attic cleanout fixes it.
This isn’t just an animal problem. It’s an open-envelope problem, and if you don’t seal it, it comes back. Droppings, urine, torn insulation, nesting debris. If it’s been building up in your attic, the scope is bigger than most homeowners expect.
Contamination out. Clean insulation in. One crew, one day.
Get the animals out and seal the entry
Before anything else, we identify what’s in the attic, how it got in, and remove it humanely. Then we seal every entry point with materials the animal can’t defeat.
Full exterior inspection
Roof, soffits, fascia, gable vents, plumbing stacks, chimney flashing. We find every current and potential entry point, not just the obvious one.
Humane removal
Species-appropriate removal methods. One-way excluders for active animals, baby checks during nesting season, done right in every state we serve.
Permanent exclusion
Heavy-gauge galvanized hardware cloth with 1/4-inch mesh, commercial-grade sealants, screwed (not stapled) into solid wood. The entry is closed for good.
Remove every trace of contamination
With the attic secured, the attic cleanout begins: we strip out everything the animals left behind. Rodent waste should not be dry-swept or vacuumed with household equipment. Our crews use industrial HEPA-filtered systems designed for this type of work.
Industrial vacuum removal
Every inch of contaminated insulation, droppings, urine, nesting material, and degraded material comes out through HEPA-filtered industrial vacuum equipment. We treat all of it as a professional cleanup job.
Antimicrobial decontamination
Professional-grade antimicrobial treatment eliminates bacteria, odor, and residual contamination from the exposed attic deck. The space is sanitized to a clean baseline.
Documented scope
Before-and-after photos of every area treated. You see exactly what was removed, what was treated, and what condition the attic is in before the next phase.
This is where most jobs fall short.
The animal is gone. The contamination is not.
What happens when the insulation stays.
The contamination is still there
Removing the animal and cleaning up visible droppings is not the same as removing contaminated insulation. Urine, fecal matter, and nesting debris soak into fiberglass and can not be cleaned out. If the insulation stays, so does the contamination.
The entry points are still open
Trapping or excluding the animal is step one. But if the gaps, soffit damage, and vulnerable spots are not permanently sealed with the right materials, a new animal finds the same opening. Sometimes within weeks.
Your energy bills stay high
Compressed, torn, and contaminated insulation does not insulate. If the attic was already under-insulated before the animal got in, it is performing even worse now. The air leaks that were never sealed are still there.
We handle removal and restoration in a single visit. One crew, one day.
See what full restoration includesRebuild better than before
With a clean, sanitized attic deck, we install fresh insulation to the right practical depth, seal air leaks, and restore the attic to full performance. This is where the cleanout becomes a permanent upgrade.
New insulation to spec
Batt or blown-in, matched to the attic layout, existing conditions, and practical performance target. We recommend based on what your attic actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all default. Clean install on a clean deck.
Air sealing
Every penetration, gap, and bypass between the living space and attic is sealed. EPA estimates that homeowners can save an average of 15% on heating and cooling costs by air sealing and adding insulation.
Photo documentation and close-out
We photograph the completed work from every angle and send you the full before-and-after set. You see exactly what was done without climbing a single rung.
What homeowners say
“They cleaned, vacuumed, disinfected, sealed holes, and completely replaced/added new insulation. They even inspected the exterior of the house and blocked some holes where squirrels could get in (and were, as it turned out).”
Jamey L., NJ
“I needed my attic and crawl space insulation removed due to a large infestation. Mike was by far the best guy for the project. I would call him a rodent detective.”
Marc Z., NJ
“They relocated a mother raccoon and 2 babies that had been living in my attic for quite some time.”
