Attic Insulation Prep Breakdown
Attic Makeover
Removing existing and reinstalling fresh new Bora Spray Cellulose Insulation!
- Foreman “walk-through orientation” with client.
- Protect your floors with our canvas runners.
- Remove accessible, existing attic insulation.
- Loosefill insulation is vacuumed into our trailers, using gas-powered 23 HP vacuums with 6″ & 4″ hoses!
- Blanket insulation is removed and bagged by hand, and attic floor vacuumed with our gas-powered, 23 HP vacuums.
- All insulation is properly disposed offsite.
- The entire Insulation Removal Process is dust-free.
- Apply Sanitizer.
- Use Pest-Block expanding foam sealant to seal your attic floor.
- We seal around accessible bath exhaust fans, around accessible heat/AC vents, around accessible electric junction boxes.
- Accessible pipe and wire holes are sealed.
- Accessible top plates are sealed.
- Chases are sealed, (large & small).
- Install baffles, where needed, to correspond with soffit vents. If your home has continuous soffit vents, we will install baffles every 10′.
- Install rulers throughout your attic, so you can quickly confirm a thorough, comprehensive coverage of fresh insulation throughout your attic.
- Any hot flue passing through your attic floor, we wrap it with a protective Fire-Retardant blanket, to isolate your cellulose insulation from contact with the hot flue pipe. (Usually a code requirement, for any type of insulation product).
- Install a short length of flexible duct to any unvented exhaust fan, and direct the exhaust to an existing source of attic ventilation.
- Using our water-sleeve & high-pressure pump, install your fresh, new, high-performance Applegate Bora-Spray cellulose insulation!
