Owens Corning Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing in Georgetown: What to Know First
As an independent Owens Corning service provider in Georgetown, we clean, sanitize, and rodent-proof attics with Owens Corning insulation systems - most jobs scheduled within 48 hours and completed in one day. Most attic cleaning and rodent proofing jobs in Georgetown run between $1,800 and $4,200 depending on contamination level, attic square footage, and whether the Owens Corning insulation can be salvaged or needs full removal and replacement. We publish a written price before any work starts, documented photo records on every visit, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise backed by a written scope and warranty.
This page is for Georgetown homeowners who’ve found droppings, nesting material, or odor in an attic insulated with Owens Corning products - from the AttiCat blown-in system common in 2015-2022 builds to the ProCat series used in higher-end Sun City Georgetown homes.

How Owens Corning Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- AttiCat PINK Fiberglass Insulation - compression and displacement from rodent tunneling. The loose-fill blown-in product settles naturally over time, but rodents accelerate this dramatically by burrowing through it to create runways, leaving compressed trails that read as R-value gaps on thermal imaging. We remove the contaminated material, sanitize the decking, and reinstall only after every penetration is foam-sealed - “Seal the holes first. Then we talk about R-value.”
- ProCat Professional Loose Fill - moisture retention from urine saturation. The higher-density product holds more liquid than standard fiberglass, which means rodent urine doesn’t just pass through; it wicks into the fibers and creates persistent ammonia odor that recirculates through ceiling penetrations. We bag and remove the saturated material, apply an enzymatic decontamination treatment, and verify with a moisture meter before any new insulation goes down.
- Owens Corning Raft-R-Mate attic rafter vents - gnaw damage creating bypass pathways. The rigid foam vent baffles are not rodent-proof; squirrels and rats chew through them near the soffit to access the attic, breaking the ventilation channel and creating condensation points that show up as water stains on the ceiling below. We replace damaged baffles with metal-screen-protected alternatives and document the repair in the photo record.
- WeatherLock Flex flexible air barrier tape - delamination from attic heat cycling. In Georgetown attics that hit 140°F in July and August, the adhesive on this tape can soften and pull away from top plates, creating air leaks that rodents follow as scent trails into conditioned space. We remove failed tape, clean the substrate with denatured alcohol, and reseal with foil-faced butyl tape rated for 200°F continuous exposure.
- Owens Corning EcoTouch batts - nesting material attraction. The formaldehyde-free binder and soft texture make these batts particularly attractive to roof rats for nest construction, especially in attics near the San Gabriel River corridor where rodent pressure is highest. We remove contaminated batts, install rigid exclusion barriers at all entry points, and replace with blown-in product that is harder for rodents to manipulate into nests.
Our Owens Corning Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Process

- 1
Inspection with thermal imaging and written scope. We photograph every Owens Corning product line present, note contamination extent, and identify all rodent entry points. You get a written price before any work starts - Haven Standard Clause 1.
- 2
Contamination assessment and insulation test. We core-sample the Owens Corning material for moisture content and fiber integrity. If it’s below 15% moisture and structurally intact, we can sanitize in place; above that, full removal is specified.
- 3
Exclusion sealing before any cleaning. Every penetration - top plates, can lights, plumbing stacks, electrical chases - gets foam-sealed or metal-screened. No exceptions. We will not sanitize or reinsulate over an unsealed attic floor.
- 4
Removal, HEPA vacuuming, and enzymatic decontamination. Contaminated Owens Corning material is bagged and removed. The attic deck gets HEPA vacuuming and a commercial-grade enzymatic treatment that breaks down organic matter without damaging the substrate.
- 5
Reinsulation with matched or upgraded Owens Corning product. We source replacement material from Owens Corning, Johns Manville, Knauf, or other named manufacturers - no proprietary lock-in. On applicable jobs, we run a blower-door test - a pressurization reading that shows, in one number, how much air your building envelope was losing before and after the work.
- 6
Documented photo record and written warranty delivery. You receive before-and-after photos, the blower-door numbers if tested, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing before the crew leaves.

AfterWhat Owens Corning Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in Georgetown
| Scenario | Typical Range | What Moves the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Light contamination, AttiCat salvageable | $1,800 - $2,600 | Attic size under 1,200 sq ft; spot sanitizing; no full removal |
| Moderate contamination, partial removal | $2,600 - $3,400 | ProCat or EcoTouch removal; decking treatment; exclusion work on 3-5 entry points |
| Severe contamination, full removal and replacement | $3,400 - $4,200+ | Complete Owens Corning removal; rafter vent replacement; extensive exclusion; reinsulation with upgraded R-value |
Attics over 1,500 square feet, multiple rodent species (squirrels plus rats), or structural damage to decking push the upper end.

Why Georgetown Homeowners Call Topside Attic Insulation Georgetown for Owens Corning Work

We’ve worked attics from Sun City Georgetown to homes backing up to the San Gabriel River corridor, and the pattern is consistent: contractors who blow new insulation over unsealed penetrations and call it done. We don’t. Every Owens Corning job starts with air sealing, ends with documented proof, and carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise - if it’s not done right, we make it right. Wes Okafor and his crew have diagnosed air-sealing failures across nearly two decades in Central Texas; we know how Georgetown’s 140°F attic temperatures stress materials and how to specify replacements that hold up. We also service Reflectix and other brands, so if your attic has mixed products, we don’t need a second contractor. Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. No voicemail loops.
FAQs
No - professional cleaning and rodent proofing by an independent service provider does not void the Owens Corning product warranty, though damage caused by rodents is not covered by that warranty regardless of who cleans it. We document pre-existing condition with photos so there’s no dispute about what the rodents caused versus what we addressed. Call (254) 970-2136 for a free estimate.
We source Owens Corning directly through standard distribution channels, along with Johns Manville, Knauf, Rockwool, and other named manufacturers - no proprietary lock-in. If your attic has a specific Owens Corning R-value requirement from the original build, we match it or upgrade it with equivalent performance data. Call (254) 970-2136 for a free estimate.
Spot repair is cheaper only if contamination is under 10% of attic area and the insulation tests below 15% moisture; otherwise, partial or full replacement costs less over five years because you avoid recontamination and the health risks of residual organic matter. We test and show you the numbers - moisture content, fiber integrity, thermal imaging - so the decision is documented, not guessed. Call (254) 970-2136 for a free estimate.
Most Georgetown inspections are scheduled within 48 hours, and we carry the equipment to complete same-day service on standard jobs once the written price is approved. Emergency situations - active squirrel breeding in the attic, for example - get prioritized. A live person answers calls 24/7. Call (254) 970-2136.
We handle the full job: live trapping or exclusion of rodents, removal of contaminated Owens Corning insulation, sanitization, resealing of all entry points, and reinsulation. We do not use poison baits in attics - they create secondary contamination risks and odor problems that outlast the rodents. Call (254) 970-2136 for a free estimate.
