Bringing Comfort Back to a Home on Ono Island Orange Beach, Alabama

We recently wrapped up a project on beautiful Ono Island in Orange Beach, Alabama—and this one was a game-changer for the homeowner.

This home had been dealing with a persistent rat infestation that left behind contaminated insulation and some serious air quality concerns. On top of that, the original fiberglass insulation was below current code standards, meaning the home wasn’t just unhealthy—it was also inefficient and expensive to cool.

Here’s what we did:

Full Insulation Removal:
We safely removed all of the contaminated insulation. Rodents don’t just leave behind a mess—they compromise the effectiveness of insulation and pose health risks due to droppings and urine.

Air Sealing the Attic:
Before installing anything new, we air sealed the entire attic space. This step is crucial for keeping outside air (and pests) out, while keeping conditioned air in. It also significantly improves the energy efficiency of the home.

Drywall Treatment:
Because of the rat activity, we treated the exposed attic drywall to neutralize odors and reduce allergens that can linger long after the pests are gone.

Upgraded to Code:
We installed brand new, loose fill fiberglass insulation—bringing the attic up to current code. Not only is this better for energy savings, but it will help the home stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Why it Matters

Rodent problems are more than just a nuisance—they can wreak havoc on your home’s insulation and indoor air quality. In this case, the homeowners now have a clean, sealed, and properly insulated attic that’s healthier and more energy efficient.
