This page is for Glendale homeowners who found Owens Corning batts, blown-in fiberglass, or PINK Next Gen Fiberglas in their attic or walls and need it out: contaminated, compressed, improperly installed, or simply past its functional life. Call (213) 474-3828 for a free estimate with upfront pricing.

How Owens Corning Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Owens Corning PINK Next Gen Fiberglas batts settle below labeled R-value when installed without compression gaps. In Glendale’s dry climate, we see this constantly in 1960s ranch homes near Verdugo Woodlands where the original contractor stuffed batts tight to the eaves, eliminating the loft that traps air. We remove the compressed batts, seal top plates and can-light penetrations, then reinstall to full labeled thickness with proper edge relief.
• Owens Corning AttiCat blown-in fiberglass bridges over joist bays when previous installers skipped air sealing. Warm conditioned air escapes through gaps, carrying moisture that mats the fiberglass into hard ridges. We vacuum out the bridged material, run a blower-door test to locate every leakage point, seal them, then reblow to uniform depth with fresh Owens Corning or multi-source material.
• Owens Corning FOAMULAR rigid board in crawl spaces delaminates when Glendale’s seasonal clay-soil moisture wicks through untreated foundation walls. The facing separates from the core, and the board becomes a vapor trap. We remove the delaminated boards, install a proper vapor barrier, then replace with new rigid board or switch to closed-cell spray foam depending on the crawl height and access.
• Owens Corning EcoTouch batts in balloon-frame walls sag when the facing adhesive fails after 15-20 years. In the older homes near Adams Hill, we’ve pulled down batts that slid to the bottom of the wall cavity, leaving the top third uninsulated. We extract the failed batts through selective interior access or exterior siding removal, then dense-pack with cellulose or reinstall with proper fastening supports.
• Owens Corning ProPink LooseFill in attics becomes contaminated by rodent activity - common in Glendale’s hillside neighborhoods where roof rats travel oak canopies. Fiberglass doesn’t degrade from urine, but the organic debris and pheromone loads render it a health hazard. We perform full contaminated insulation removal, sanitize the deck, rodent-proof entry points, then reinstall fresh material with sealed air barriers.

Our Owens Corning Insulation Removal & Replacement Process

1. 1
   Site assessment and blower-door test. We pressurize the house to measure CFM50 leakage before touching anything. Wes Okafor’s rule: seal the bypasses first. Insulation over air leaks is just expensive noise reduction.
2. 2
   Written scope and price. You get a flat price, material specification, and timeline in writing. No work starts without it - Haven Standard Clause 1.
3. 3
   Containment and removal. We isolate the work zone with negative-air machines where contamination is present, then vacuum out old Owens Corning material using HEPA-filtered collection. Every bag is weighed and documented.
4. 4
   Air sealing and prep. Top plates, electrical penetrations, chimney chases, and can lights get sealed with fire-rated foam or mineral wool. This is non-negotiable; we will not install new insulation over an unsealed surface.
5. 5
   Replacement and verification. New insulation goes in - Owens Corning, Johns Manville, Knauf, or another specified brand - to the depth and density specified. On applicable jobs, we run a second blower-door test and hand you the pre- and post-installation report with ACH50 numbers side by side.
6. 6
   Documentation and closeout. You receive the Documented Photo Record, written warranty, and 365-Day Done Right Promise paperwork before the crew leaves.
