This page is for Anaheim homeowners who own a home with Owens Corning insulation and have discovered droppings, nesting, or that unmistakable scratching sound above the ceiling. We’re an independent Owens Corning service provider, meaning we work on Owens Corning products every week but we’re not owned by them or authorized by them. That independence means we tell you the truth about what’s worth fixing and what isn’t. If rodents have been in your Owens Corning insulation, it’s almost always a full removal and replacement job, not a spot clean. Here’s what you need to know.

How Owens Corning Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Owens Corning makes solid insulation, but nothing they manufacture was designed to survive a rodent infestation. After years of pulling contaminated Owens Corning batts and blown-in fiberglass out of Anaheim attics, here’s what we actually see:

• Pink Fiberglas batts (R-30 and R-38) become rodent highways. Rats and mice tunnel through the batts, creating compressed runways that crush the loft and kill the R-value. We routinely find tunnels running the full length of an attic floor, hidden under the top layer. The fix is full removal, sanitizing, and re-insulation.
• ProPink blown-in fiberglass holds odor like a sponge. Once urine soaks into blown-in ProPink, no amount of surface cleaning removes the smell. Anaheim’s heat makes it worse, baking that odor down into your living space every afternoon. We remove it to the deck and start fresh.
• AttiCat blown-in insulation hides activity you can’t see. The loose fill looks uniform from the hatch, but rodents burrow underneath it. We find nests the size of footballs buried under what looks like untouched insulation. You can’t diagnose this from the access point, and that’s exactly why a quick “inspection” from a guy with a flashlight misses it.
• Foil-faced batts attract rats in a specific way. The kraft or foil facing gives rodents a smooth, tearable surface they use for nesting material. We’ve seen entire sections where the facing has been stripped clean. The fiberglass underneath is left exposed and compromised.
• All Owens Corning products share one vulnerability: the rodent entry point. The insulation isn’t the problem. The hole is. In Anaheim, we find entry points at roof-to-wall transitions, gable vents without screens, and where AC line sets penetrate the exterior wall. Until that hole is sealed, new insulation is just a fresh bed for the next rodent.

Our Owens Corning Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Process

Here’s exactly what happens when we take on an Owens Corning attic restoration in Anaheim:

1. 1
   We walk the attic with you, not without you. Walt or a lead tech goes up first, takes photos, and then shows you what we found on a tablet. You see the droppings, the tunnels, the entry points, before you spend a dollar.
2. 2
   We map every entry point from the exterior. Rodents don’t teleport. We inspect the roofline, vents, and utility penetrations from the outside and document where they’re getting in.
3. 3
   We remove all contaminated Owens Corning insulation. Commercial HEPA vacuums pull out every bit of fiberglass, nesting material, and droppings down to the deck. We bag it and haul it out the same day.
4. 4
   We sanitize and deodorize the attic. After mechanical removal, we treat the deck and framing with an enzyme-based sanitizer that breaks down urine and pheromones. Skipping this step is why some attics still smell after a “cleanout.”
5. 5
   We seal entry points and rodent-proof the attic. Steel mesh, hardware cloth, and exclusion materials close off the access routes. We don’t use foam that rats chew through in a night.
6. 6
   We install fresh insulation, usually new Owens Corning. If you liked the product, we re-insulate with current Owens Corning blown-in or batts. We also install Rockwool, Johns Manville, Knauf, CertainTeed, and GreenFiber depending on your budget and the attic’s layout. The Done Right Promise covers the workmanship for life.

What Owens Corning Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in Anaheim

Every attic is different, so we price every job after we look at it. Here’s what typical Owens Corning attic restoration costs in Anaheim look like:

• Inspection and written estimate: Free, and $40 off any repair over $200 when we do the work.
• Attic cleaning only (no new insulation): $1,200 to $2,800 for a standard 1,200 to 1,800 square foot Anaheim home.
• Full removal, sanitizing, rodent proofing, and new Owens Corning insulation: $3,200 to $4,800 for R-38 blown-in or batt replacement. Larger attics, steep pitches, and heavy contamination push it higher.
• Rodent proofing and exclusion only: $500 to $1,400 depending on how many entry points we’re sealing and whether we need to access eaves or roof transitions.

What moves the price: attic square footage, insulation depth that needs removing, how long rodents were active, and whether the attic is walkable or tight crawl space. We give you a written quote before we start, and there’s no trip charge inside our service county. Call (657) 214-8224 for a free estimate.

Why Anaheim Homeowners Call Walt’s Insulation for Owens Corning Work

We’re the one down the road, not a 800 number. Walt Brenner started this company in 2000 after moving west from San Antonio, where he learned the trade hands-on at St. Philip’s College. He’s been working in Anaheim long enough to know that a 1950s ranch house near Pearson Park has a different attic than a 2015 build near the Platinum Triangle. Same Owens Corning product, very different rodent problems.

Every tech who walks into your Anaheim home is background-checked, uniformed, and trained on Owens Corning products specifically. If you’ve got Reflectix radiant barrier in the mix, we work with that too. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7. And the work is backed by the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, no runaround. We do the job right the first time, because we’re the ones who have to stand behind it.
