This page is for Long Beach homeowners who installed Owens Corning blown-in fiberglass, ProCat, or AttiCat systems and are now dealing with rodent intrusion, compressed or soiled insulation, or the telltale ammonia smell that means colony activity overhead.

How Owens Corning Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• ProCat blown-in fiberglass compresses unevenly after rodent tunneling. ProCat’s loose-fill density is designed for settled performance, but rats and mice burrow through it creating void channels that collapse the thermal barrier. We remove the contaminated ProCat, seal all entry points with galvanized steel mesh and copper wool, then reinstall to OEM depth specifications measured with a ruled probe at multiple attic locations.
• AttiCat Pink Puffer systems lose loft when saturated with urine. The AttiCat blowing process creates a fluffy initial install, but rodent urine crystallizes on the glass fibers adding weight and collapsing the matrix. In Long Beach’s marine layer climate, that moisture doesn’t dry out quickly. We HEPA-vacuum the degraded material, apply an enzymatic decontamination treatment, and verify with moisture meters before any new insulation goes down.
• Owens Corning Foamular rigid board at attic hatches gaps and becomes a rodent highway. Foamular XPS boards are common at Long Beach attic access points for their R-value per inch, but the cut edges rarely seal tight against rough framing. Mice squeeze through gaps as small as a quarter-inch. We remove compromised Foamular sections, install proper blocking with sealant, and replace with new board cut to measured tolerances.
• Ecotouch batts shred and nest when rodents establish colonies. The binder in Ecotouch formaldehyde-free batts breaks down under sustained gnawing and nesting pressure. We find this especially in 1940s Long Beach bungalows near Bixby Knolls where original knee-wall construction creates hidden cavities. We extract shredded batt sections, sanitize the bays, and reinstall with continuous air-sealing at top plates and penetrations.
• VentSure ridge vent intakes become entry vectors when screening degrades. Owens Corning’s VentSure systems rely on external mesh that corrodes in salt air within 8-12 years. Raccoons and roof rats in the Belmont Heights and Bluff Park areas exploit these gaps regularly. We replace degraded VentSure mesh with stainless steel hardware cloth rated for marine environments, then verify with blower-door smoke testing to confirm no bypass leakage.

Our Owens Corning Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Process

1. 1
   Inspection with thermal imaging and documentation. We photograph existing Owens Corning product depth, condition, and contamination extent. We map active rodent trails, entry points, and insulation compression patterns. You get these photos before we quote.
2. 2
   Written price and scope delivered before work starts. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, you receive a flat price, written scope, and written warranty before anyone lifts a tool. No surprises, no “we found more once we started.”
3. 3
   HEPA extraction and enzymatic decontamination. We remove soiled Owens Corning material with sealed HEPA vacuums, then treat subflooring and framing with enzyme neutralizers that break down organic matter without damaging wood structure.
4. 4
   Rodent exclusion with marine-grade materials. Every entry point larger than one-quarter inch gets sealed with galvanized steel mesh, copper wool, or concrete patching depending on location. We prioritize ridge vents, eave returns, plumbing penetrations, and the gaps where Owens Corning baffles meet framing.
5. 5
   Reinstall or replace Owens Corning insulation to measured depth. We verify R-value restoration with a ruled depth probe at minimum six attic locations, documented in your final report. For blown-in systems, we calculate bag count against square footage to confirm proper density.
6. 6
   Final documentation and 365-Day Done Right Promise. You receive a Documented Photo Record showing before condition, exclusion work, and finished depth readings. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies - if rodents re-enter through our exclusion work, we return and make it right.

What Owens Corning Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in Long Beach

Most attic cleanouts with rodent proofing for Owens Corning systems in Long Beach run between $1,800 and $4,200. Here’s how typical jobs break down:

What moves the price: attic square footage, contamination depth, number of entry points requiring ladder or roof access, and whether original Owens Corning product must be matched for warranty continuity on newer installs. We also service Reflectix radiant barrier systems when those are present and compromised.

Why Long Beach Homeowners Call Topside Attic Insulation Long Beach for Owens Corning Work

We’ve cleaned and restored Owens Corning systems in Long Beach neighborhoods from Bixby Knolls down to the houses backing Rancho Los Cerritos - tight 1920s bungalows with cathedral ceilings and air-sealing gaps nobody documented until we showed up with a thermal camera. Wes Okafor measures existing R-values before quoting and hands every customer a one-page report: pre-install depth readings, post-install depth readings, and the air-sealing locations addressed.

Our crew knows the difference between ProCat and AttiCat density requirements, and we source Owens Corning materials alongside Johns Manville, Knauf, and Rockwool so you’re never locked into a single product line. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers all completed work. Measure first, then insulate - otherwise you’re just trapping the problem.
