How CertainTeed Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• CertainTeed InsulSafe SP blown-in fiberglass settles unevenly in Burbank’s dry climate. The material was engineered for moderate humidity; in our Santa Ana wind cycles, the fine glass fibers separate and migrate toward soffit vents, leaving bare spots above master bedrooms. We remove the settled material, air-seal the top plates and electrical penetrations with fire-rated caulk, then reinstall to a verified depth with a depth-and-coverage report you keep.
• CertainTeed SpeedyR rigid foam board warps when rodents nest beneath it. The foil-facing delaminates from the polyiso core once urine salts accumulate, creating a thermal bypass - a gap where conditioned air escapes. We pull the contaminated boards, sanitize the substrate with an enzyme treatment, and replace with new rigid board only after mechanical exclusion is complete.
• CertainTeed Optima loose-fill cellulose packs down hard near Burbank’s older ductwork. In Magnolia Park ranches from the 1960s, flex ducts resting on cellulose create condensation valleys; rodents follow the moisture trail. We lift the ducts, install proper supports, remove the packed cellulose, and blow new material to a uniform depth once the air leaks are sealed.
• CertainTeed MemBrain smart vapor retarder tears at staple points during rodent activity. The polyamide film is more fragile than kraft paper when chewed; once breached, it stops regulating seasonal moisture drive. We replace torn sections with intact MemBrain or upgrade to a more rodent-resistant assembly depending on attic access and your preference, documented in the written scope.
• CertainTeed TrueComfort batts slide off kneewalls in Burbank’s steeper pitch roofs. Without proper fasteners, gravity and rodent traffic push batts onto the attic floor, exposing the conditioned wall cavity behind. We re-secure with wire staves or netting, then rodent-proof the kneewall access points with 1/4-inch hardware cloth before reinstalling.

Our CertainTeed Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Process

1. 1
   Inspection with photo documentation. We photograph every contaminated area, compressed batt, and penetration point, then email you the set before we leave.
2. 2
   Blower-door test if air sealing is indicated. A pressurization reading that shows, in one number, how much air your building envelope is losing. We take this before and after so you can verify the result.
3. 3
   Written price and scope. Under Haven Standard Clause 1: flat price, written scope, written warranty before anyone lifts a tool. No work starts without it.
4. 4
   Removal and sanitizing. We pull contaminated CertainTeed material, HEPA-vacuum the deck, and apply enzyme decontamination where rodent waste is present.
5. 5
   Mechanical exclusion and air sealing. Rodent proofing with 1/4-inch hardware cloth, steel wool, and fire-rated sealant at all penetrations. Top plates, can lights, and plumbing stacks get sealed before any insulation goes back.
6. 6
   Reinstallation and verification. New or cleaned CertainTeed material installed to manufacturer depth, with a post-job photo record and, where applicable, a second blower-door test. The R-value is what the label says. The performance is what the blower-door test says. We care about the second number.

What CertainTeed Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in Burbank

Most attic cleaning and rodent proofing jobs in Burbank run between $1,800 and $4,200 depending on contamination level, attic square footage, and whether we’re reinstalling CertainTeed material or upgrading to a different product. A straightforward cleanout with light sanitizing and exclusion on a 1,200-square-foot attic typically falls at the lower end. Heavy contamination requiring full material removal, deck replacement, and extensive rodent proofing on a larger home pushes toward the higher range. We also handle Reflectix systems if your attic has a mixed assembly. What moves the price: how much material needs removal, whether the ductwork is involved, and how many entry points we need to seal.
