Attic Cleaning in Ventura County

Blown (or “loose fill”) insulation is great especially for attic floors, but it can also be used inside of ceilings and walls. Its loose nature means that, properly blown in, it will compactly and evenly fill any space you put it into.

Blown insulation usually comes in fiberglass or cellulose material. Again, both materials work great, having similar R-Values (insulating power.)

Pure Eco has the fleet of blower trucks and equipment to efficiently place your blown insulation anywhere you want it in your building. We can do it quickly, correctly, and without making a mess.

3. Installing Radiant Barriers

Radiant barriers, installed below your roof (attic ceiling) use a highly reflective surface to “bounce back” radiant heat from the sun to keep it from building up in your attic, and filtering into the rest of the house from there.

Radiant heat is wonderful on cool but sunny day or when using a radiant-heat heater that can warm you directly instead of waiting for surrounding air to warm up first. But that principle works against you when it comes to heat radiating into your attic. A radiant barrier is an effective and affordable means of preventing that from happening.

Most radiant barriers will be multi-layered to achieve the most effective results possible, and the reflective surface is often of aluminum. It is important to keep dust off of the surface since dust would lessen the reflectivity of the barrier, but at Pure Eco we know how to install your radiant barrier to minimize dust build-up over the years and keep it working effectively.

We are familiar with a number of different brands and types of radiant barrier on the market today and can help you select the one that’s right for you, and then install it in full accord with manufacturer’s recommendations.

4. Rodent-proofing

Another important service we offer a Pure Eco is rodent proofing of your attic. Around 25% of all rodent infestations begin by mice and rats entering through holes in the roof or attic walls, or by their clawing through weak points to create such holes.

The fact is, a rodent infestation not only “dingies up” your attic with rodent droppings and creates an unpleasant smell but it also often leads to rodents spreading to the lower reaches of your home, where food and water are more plentiful and a more pleasant climate is to be found.

Thus, if you suspect a rodent infestation in your attic or worry there are holes and cracks there that could lead to one, you should act fast to correct the problem.

After finding all possible entry points and sealing them off, sometimes with metal screening, sometimes with plywood or another appropriate material, we can then set traps and bait them to kill off the rodents already resident in your attic.

We can also put vent covers and a chimney cap on, and cut back any branches overhanging your roof that rodents might use to get on top of your house and then into it.
