Chatsworth, CA

Insulation Contractor in Chatsworth

Remove, rodent proof, reinsulate. In that order.

Hot, Added On, and Rodent Country

Chatsworth gets very hot. There are lots of 1960s homes, many originally modest and added onto over the years, and some near horse property. Rodent issues are common. That shapes how we approach the attic here.

Old attic insulation ready for removal

The Chatsworth Sequence

This is the usual sequence for Chatsworth homes.

1

Remove old insulation

We clear the attic first so we can see what is going on. See Attic Insulation Removal.

2

Rodent proof, thoroughly

A thorough, measured rodent proofing job, done by us or by a specialist.

3

Install new insulation

Then new insulation goes in. See Blown-In Attic Insulation.

Walls Too

Like most of the Valley, Chatsworth homes usually have no wall insulation. Drill & Fill Wall Insulation insulates existing walls without tearing them open.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you remove the old insulation before rodent proofing?
Once the attic is clean it is much easier to identify entry points, fix problem areas, and confirm the issue does not return. Removal is a key first step in proper rodent proofing.
Do you do the rodent proofing yourselves?
The proofing has to be a thorough, measured job. It is done either by us or by a specialist, depending on the house.
I'm near horse property. Does that matter?
Rodent issues are common in Chatsworth, including near horse property, so we plan for it.
Does my Chatsworth home have wall insulation?
Usually not, like most of the Valley. See drill and fill.
Can I get the LADWP attic insulation rebate?
Chatsworth is part of the City of Los Angeles, so homes there are generally LADWP electric customers and may qualify for the LADWP attic insulation rebate. We pull the permit, prepare the rebate paperwork and photos, and schedule the inspection. Program rules change, so confirm the current terms with LADWP before the project.
