We do not subcontract any of our work. All of our work is performed in house by certified professionals.
We will inspect and determine if the attic needs to completely “gutted” of all the insulation. Usually this is necessary if any wires have been damaged, HVAC flex ducts have been compromised or the rodent have been there so long, the amount of droppings urine stains are extensive.
If wires are damaged we will recommend having a licensed electrician come in to assess the damage.
If the HVAC flex ducts are damaged, we can replace and/or repair them in house. We pride our ourselves on the workmanship we provide in comparison to actual HVAC companies that provide the same type of service and save our customers money.
Another recommendation we always advise to our customers during this process is to have lights or anything that requires someone to go inside of an attic to be installed, to have done prior to having the new insulation installed. Since the attic is completely empty, this is the best time to have these types of services done.
After the house has been sealed, repaired, rodents trapped and reinspected, we will then start the “Prepping’ process. This process consists of a few things that most of our competitors that blow in insulation do not do at all.
Installing “Baffles”. Baffels are placed inside the attic and mounted to the joist right up to the facia boards. By having them installed, it will not block the vent holes and restrict the air flow inside the attic once the insulation is installed. The vent holes is how your attic “Breaths”. Some homes may not have these and may have vents cut into the roof, which provides the same effect but doesn’t require baffles to be used in this case.
We will also seal the the protrusions going through the ceiling into the living space of your home. This will prevent the dust and insulation particles from getting inside your home and also help cut down on the amount of dust getting inside your home too!
Lastly we install box covers over all the recessed lights inside the attic. This will allow the insulation to be blown in over the lights, which will not “Suffocate” them and cause the lights to flicker or burn out if they’re not LED. Our competitors skip around them or blow over them, without covering them. The other benefit of having these covered as it will now allow small particles and dust to seep through the light housing and get into the house.
After the attic prep is completed, We then stato to blow in our TAP insulation.
TAP stands for “Thermal” “Acoustic” “Pest Control”. TAP insulation is made in America from American products. Their are 3 major benefits of having this cellulose insulation over fiberglass.
The first being as it helps with keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. It helps with sound as it is very dense. It helps with echoing and loud noises that come from the HVAC system. It’s also infused with “Borate”. Borate is used for a lot of applications. This will not allow the insulation to get moldy if it were to get wet from a plumbing leak or a roof leak. It is also Fire resistant, if a fire were to occur, the insulation will not engulf in flames. The main benefit is that it kill “Self Grooming” insects. That means if any self grooming insects were to enter into the attic space, the borate will kill them acting as a natural pesticide. This will help cut down chances of insects coming out of the ceiling and vents getting into your home as well. For more information, please go to www.TAPinsulation.com
Upon the completion of this service you will receive a 2 year warranty that will cover any inspections, repairs or trapping if needed during that time.
