Photo Album: Reinsulating the Attic After Bats Make a Mess of It in Sea Girt, NJ
Bat Droppings Everywhere
As you can see, there were bat droppings throughout the attic. This not only created a health hazard for the family...
Insulation is Contaminated
...but the insulation got contaminated too!
Bag Them & Remove Them
First, we removed all the contaminated insulation and the droppings, disposed of them properly, and disinfected the area.
Air Sealing
Afterward, 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.
