How CertainTeed Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• CertainTeed InsulSafe SP blown-in fiberglass compacts unevenly in Glendale’s dry heat cycles, creating hard pockets where rodents nest and urine saturates the glass fibers rather than wicking through. We remove the compacted material entirely, HEPA-vacuum the deck, and replace with fresh SP or shift to a cellulose blend if the roof pitch limits future access for cleaning.
• CertainTeed TrueComfort batt insulation in older Glendale ranch homes near the Woodlands often gets shredded by roof rats traveling wall cavities, leaving pink strands hanging from rafters that look like active nests but are actually just displaced material. We bag the shredded batts, treat the joist bays with enzyme decontaminant, and reinstall TrueComfort or upgrade to dense-pack if the balloon-frame walls are accessible.
• CertainTeed OPTIMA dense-pack cellulose holds moisture longer than fiberglass when roof leaks occur, which in Glendale’s occasional Santa Ana-driven rain events means mold growth in the cellulose before the homeowner smells it. We extract the compromised OPTIMA, treat sheathing with antimicrobial, and reinstall with a vapor-smart strategy based on the roof’s actual ventilation - not the code minimum.
• CertainTeed MemBrain smart vapor retarder installed over attic floors gets torn by raccoon entry attempts, creating holes that look small but defeat the retarder’s variable-perm function and allow moisture to cycle unpredictably. We patch with MemBrain-compatible tape only when the tear is under 6 inches; larger damage gets full replacement because patched retarders fail at the seam under summer attic heat.
• CertainTeed Flintlastic SA self-adhered roofing underlayment on low-slope dormers common in Glendale’s 1950s tract homes delaminates at the laps when rodent urine accumulates, creating entry paths that standard pest control misses. We peel and replace the compromised laps, seal with Flintlastic-compatible primer, and install metal flashing barriers before any insulation goes back.

Our CertainTeed Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Process

1. 1
   Inspection with photo documentation. We photograph every CertainTeed product line present, note the contamination type (rodent, bird, or mixed), and identify entry points from the exterior.
2. 2
   Blower-door test before any removal. Wes runs a pressurization measurement to establish the baseline CFM50 - the number that tells us how much conditioned air is escaping through bypasses the rodents may have enlarged.
3. 3
   Written price and scope. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, you get a flat price, written scope, and written warranty before anyone lifts a tool. No exceptions.
4. 4
   Removal and decontamination. We HEPA-vacuum all CertainTeed material, treat structural elements with enzyme-based sanitizer, and dispose per California Title 24 hazardous waste guidelines for contaminated insulation.
5. 5
   Rodent proofing and air sealing. We seal all entry points with steel mesh and copper wool, seal top plates and penetrations, and run a second blower-door test to verify the envelope improvement.
6. 6
   Replacement and final documentation. We install CertainTeed-compatible replacement insulation or your chosen upgrade, photograph the completed work, and deliver your Documented Photo Record with before-and-after blower-door numbers.

What CertainTeed Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in Glendale

Price moves with attic square footage, accessibility (truss vs. stick-framed), and whether the HVAC ducts run through the space requiring additional protection. We also service Reflectix radiant barrier systems when those are present in the same attic. Every estimate is free, written, and delivered before any work starts. Call (213) 474-3828.
