From No Insulation to New Blown-In Insulation in Rumson, NJ
After dealing with a hot attic in the summer and a freezing one in the winter, this homeowner in Rumson, NJ decided it was time to add so much needed blown-in cellulose insulation to the attic. Since he is a current Home Protection Plan customer of our Pest Control division, he was aware that we had an entire Attic Systems division! So he called our office, scheduled an appointment, and we were sent out.
As we inspected the attic, we noticed that a majority of the fiberglass insulation was deteriorated, due to age, and is now ineffective. As fiberglass insulation ages, it degrades, leaving gaps where air can escape. In other words, your heater or air conditioner needs to work even harder to maintain the temperature inside your home! So we carefully removed all of the old fiberglass insulation and properly disposed of it. Next, we placed several measuring sticks throughout the attic to ensure that the proper amount of R-value is added to the attic.
Next, we air sealed all the gaps and cracks in the attic. This will eliminate air flow between the living space and the attic, improving energy efficiency. Lastly, we added over 10 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation. TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation maximizes home comfort, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating & is resistant to mold and pests. Now the homeowner has a transformed attic space that is newly insulated & energy efficient.

Lastly, we installed over 12 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation, which will fill the attic to its recommended insulation levels. TruSoft insulation maximizes home comfort, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating, is resistant to mold and pests, is eco-friendly, and optimizes energy usage for year-round peace and savings for the homeowner!
Keeping the Gable Vents Safe from Nuisance Wildlife in Ocean Township, NJ
A short while ago, this customer in Ocean Township, NJ, had squirrels infest the attic of his home via the gable vent. We were able to successfully and safely remove them from the home and relocate them to a new humane location. Afterward, we disinfected the entire attic.
In order to prevent any future intrusions from squirrels, as well as any other nuisance wildlife, we installed a louvered vent guard over every single one of the gable vents. This material is made out of heavy-duty Galvannealed steel, which means it won't rust, and is customized to accommodate vents of all shapes and sizes.

First, we removed all the contaminated insulation and disinfected the entire attic. Once we were finished, we installed ComfortTherm® insulation. ComfortTherm® insulation provides excellent temperature and noise control, and comes with a vapor-retarder for use in hot, humid climates.
