Insulation in Richmond, TX
Crawl space encapsulation and vapor barrier work in Richmond, TX has to account for one thing most other Texas cities don’t: the Brazos River floodplain. Homes in Pecan Grove and other low-lying subdivisions that took water during Hurricane Harvey in 2017 often had insulation ripped out and hastily replaced, and we regularly find moisture problems hiding behind those rushed repairs. Add attic temperatures that climb past 150°F every summer and you’ve got a housing stock that punishes generic insulation work. Call (866) 751-4428 if you’re seeing high bills, musty smells, or rooms that won’t hold temperature.
Why Richmond Homes Are Different
Richmond splits into two distinct housing eras, and each one fails differently. The 1970s through 1990s neighborhoods like Pecan Grove were built with fiberglass batts that have since settled, thinned, or been replaced quickly after Harvey, often with unfaced batts installed backward in exterior walls. Those reversed vapor barriers wick summer humidity into wall cavities and feed mold behind the drywall, a failure pattern we see constantly along the Brazos corridor. The newer 2000s and 2020s tract homes along the Grand Parkway corridor were built to just-code R-values that are legal but inadequate for Fort Bend County’s actual heat load.
The climate is the other half of the equation. Gulf Coast humidity keeps dew points in the mid-70s for months at a stretch, so any insulation detail that traps moisture instead of letting it dry creates mold conditions fast. And with attic temperatures above 150°F in July and August, radiant heat transfer through the roof deck is a bigger driver of discomfort here than it is in drier Texas cities like Dallas or San Antonio. That’s why air sealing at the roofline and proper vapor management matter more in Richmond than almost anywhere else in the state.
Our Main Richmond Services
Richmond homeowners call us most about two things: crawl spaces that stay wet and attics that cook the upstairs bedrooms. Here’s what those jobs involve here.
Attic Insulation in Richmond
Most Richmond attics we enter have somewhere between R-11 and R-19 of settled, compressed fiberglass where R-38 to R-49 is what this climate actually needs. The result is a ceiling that radiates heat into the living space from about 2 p.m. until well after dark. We inspect the existing depth, check for Harvey-related moisture damage, and build the attic back to a level that changes how the upstairs feels within a day. This is the single highest-impact upgrade for most 1970s through 1990s homes in Attic Insulation in Richmond.

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier in Richmond
Crawl space encapsulation in Richmond is a floodplain problem before it’s an insulation problem. Homes near the Brazos River sit over soil that stays damp for months after any heavy rain, and that moisture rises straight into floor framing and eventually into the house. Encapsulation seals the ground and the foundation vents so the crawl space stops acting like a humidity pump. We’ve been doing this work since 2000, and we’ve seen what happens when Richmond homes skip it: buckled hardwood, sweating ducts, and mold smell that never quite goes away. This is the service where our Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier work matters most.
Crawl Space Vapor Barrier
Signs you need it
You smell dampness rising through the floors, see condensation on ductwork under the house, or notice cupping hardwood and a persistent musty odor in rooms above the crawl space.
What it costs in Richmond
A crawl space vapor barrier in Richmond typically runs $1,200-$3,000 depending on square footage and access.
How we do it
We lay a reinforced polyethylene liner across the crawl space floor, run it up the foundation walls, and seal all seams and penetrations so ground moisture stays below the barrier.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Signs you need it
Your crawl space vents pull humid air in all summer, floor joists show dark staining or surface mold, and the space never dries out even after weeks without rain.
What it costs in Richmond
Full crawl space encapsulation in Richmond typically ranges $5,000-$12,000 depending on access, existing moisture damage, and whether a dehumidifier is added.
How we do it
We seal the vents, install a full vapor barrier on the floor and walls, insulate the perimeter, and add a dehumidifier sized to the space so the crawl area stays dry year-round.
Crawl Space Moisture Control
Signs you need it
You see standing water after rains, the crawl space smells like wet earth, or you’re fighting high indoor humidity despite running the AC constantly.
What it costs in Richmond
Standalone crawl space moisture control work in Richmond, including drainage or sump pump installation, typically runs $1,500-$4,500.
How we do it
We assess the water source first, install drainage or a sump where needed, then add moisture management so the space dries out and stays dry.
What Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier Costs in Richmond
| Item | Typical range in Richmond |
|---|---|
| Crawl space vapor barrier | $1,200-$3,000 |
| Full crawl space encapsulation | $5,000-$12,000 |
| Crawl space insulation (rim joist and walls) | $800-$2,500 |
| Moisture control with sump or drainage | $1,500-$4,500 |
Is crawl space encapsulation worth it for a Richmond home near the Brazos?
Yes. Homes near the river sit over soil that holds moisture year-round, and encapsulation is the only way to stop that humidity from damaging floors, ducts, and air quality. The payback comes through lower cooling costs and avoiding structural repairs later.
Can you encapsulate a crawl space that flooded during Harvey?
We can, but we inspect the framing and existing insulation first. Many Harvey-era repairs left mold or rot behind the replacement work, and encapsulation over that only seals the problem in. We’ll tell you what we find before any work starts.
Spray Foam Insulation in Richmond
Spray foam insulation in Richmond earns its keep because of what the attic goes through every summer. When the roof deck hits 150°F and outdoor humidity sits in the 70s, traditional batt insulation leaves gaps around framing, wiring, and recessed lights that let that superheated air pour in. Closed-cell foam seals the building envelope at the roofline and turns the attic into conditioned space, which cuts the cooling load far more in Fort Bend County than it does in drier Texas cities. We install open-cell and closed-cell systems from manufacturers like Icynene and Demilec. For a deeper look at the process, see our Spray Foam Insulation hub.
Open-Cell Spray Foam
Signs you need it
Your upstairs rooms run 5-8 degrees warmer than downstairs, or you feel air movement around ceiling fixtures and attic hatch seams.
What it costs in Richmond
Open-cell spray foam in a Richmond attic typically runs $1.50-$3.00 per board foot, or roughly $3,000-$6,000 for an average attic roof deck.
How we do it
We spray a continuous layer against the roof deck, filling seams and bypasses so the attic becomes part of the conditioned envelope instead of a heat source.
Closed-Cell Spray Foam
Signs you need it
You need both insulation and a moisture barrier in one product, or your attic has limited space where a thinner high-R layer is required.
What it costs in Richmond
Closed-cell spray foam in Richmond typically runs $2.50-$5.00 per board foot, or roughly $5,000-$11,000 for a standard attic application.
How we do it
We apply a dense foam that both insulates and stops water vapor, which is the right call for humid Richmond summers where the wrong vapor detail turns into a mold trap.
What Spray Foam Insulation Costs in Richmond
| Item | Typical range in Richmond |
|---|---|
| Open-cell spray foam (per board foot) | $1.50-$3.00 |
| Closed-cell spray foam (per board foot) | $2.50-$5.00 |
| Rim joist spray foam | $600-$1,200 |
| Garage ceiling spray foam | $900-$2,200 |
Is spray foam safe in humid Richmond attics?
When it’s installed correctly, yes. The issue in Richmond is that closed-cell foam must be applied to a dry substrate and detailed properly at eaves and soffits. We check the roof deck for moisture before spraying, which matters after the Harvey-era repairs many local homes went through.
How long does spray foam last in a Fort Bend County attic?
Properly applied open-cell and closed-cell foam lasts the life of the home. The foam itself doesn’t settle or sag the way batts do, which is one reason it’s a strong fit for Richmond attics that see 150°F temperatures for months.
Blown-In Insulation in Richmond
Blown-in insulation in Richmond is the most common fix we do for attics that were built to old code or never fully topped up after Harvey repairs. The heat load here is relentless, and most 1970s through 1990s homes in Pecan Grove and nearby subdivisions are sitting at roughly half the attic R-value they need. We blow cellulose or fiberglass over the existing layer, or remove and start fresh when the old material is compromised, which brings the attic to R-38 or R-49 without tearing out drywall. Many Richmond homeowners pair this with our Blown-In Insulation guidance to decide between cellulose and fiberglass.
Blown-In Cellulose
Signs you need it
Your attic has settled to under R-19, your energy bills climb every July, or you want a dense, fire-resistant layer that fills odd cavities well.
What it costs in Richmond
Blown-in cellulose in a Richmond attic typically runs $1.50-$2.50 per square foot installed, including prep and cleanup.
How we do it
We air-seal the attic floor first, then blow GreenFiber or equivalent cellulose to the target depth with a consistent density across the entire attic.
Blown-In Fiberglass
Signs you need it
You want a lighter-weight insulation option that won’t settle as much over decades, or your attic already has fiberglass batts and you’re topping up to match.
What it costs in Richmond
Blown-in fiberglass in Richmond typically runs $1.50-$2.50 per square foot installed for a standard attic top-up.
How we do it
We blow loose-fill fiberglass over existing insulation after air sealing, bringing the total depth to the R-value your attic actually needs for Richmond’s heat.
What Blown-In Insulation Costs in Richmond
| Item | Typical range in Richmond |
|---|---|
| Blown-in cellulose (per sq ft) | $1.50-$2.50 |
| Blown-in fiberglass (per sq ft) | $1.50-$2.50 |
| Dense-pack wall insulation | $1,800-$3,800 |
| Blown-in top-up (existing attic) | $900-$1,800 |
Is blown-in insulation enough for a Richmond summer?
At the right depth, yes. R-38 to R-49 of blown-in insulation handles Fort Bend County heat well, but only if the attic floor is air-sealed first. Loose-fill over leaky recessed lights and unsealed top plates still lets hot air pour into the house.
How long does blown-in insulation take to install in a Richmond attic?
Most Richmond attics are done in half a day, including air sealing the major penetrations and hauling away old batts if they’re being replaced. You’ll notice the upstairs holding temperature better the same evening.
Radiant Barrier Installation in Richmond
Radiant barrier installation in Richmond attacks the one thing insulation alone can’t stop: radiant heat from a roof deck that bakes at 150°F-plus for four solid months. A radiant barrier stapled to the underside of the rafters reflects most of that heat back out before it ever reaches your insulation, which drops attic temperatures by a measurable 20 to 30 degrees on the worst July days. In a humid Gulf Coast climate, the barrier also reduces the amount of moisture-laden air the attic pulls in. Many Richmond homes see the biggest jump in comfort when this is paired with our Radiant Barrier Installation recommendations for roof deck versus floor placement.
Attic Radiant Barrier
Signs you need it
Your attic is unbearable by mid-afternoon, your upstairs AC runs constantly, or your ceiling feels warm to the touch on summer evenings.
What it costs in Richmond
Attic radiant barrier installation in Richmond typically runs $1,500-$3,000 for a standard single-story attic.
How we do it
We staple foil-faced radiant barrier to the underside of the rafters, leaving proper ventilation gaps at the ridge and soffits so heat and moisture still escape.
Radiant Barrier Roof Deck
Signs you need it
You’re replacing a roof soon and want the barrier laid directly on the decking, or your attic layout makes rafter installation impractical.
What it costs in Richmond
Roof deck radiant barrier in Richmond typically runs $1,800-$3,500 depending on roof size and whether it’s installed during re-roofing.
How we do it
We install the reflective layer between the roof deck and the shingles, or directly under the decking during a re-roof, so heat is stopped at the point of entry.
What Radiant Barrier Installation Costs in Richmond
| Item | Typical range in Richmond |
|---|---|
| Attic radiant barrier (rafter-mounted) | $1,500-$3,000 |
| Radiant barrier roof deck | $1,800-$3,500 |
| Radiant barrier foil (per sq ft) | $0.50-$1.00 |
| Radiant barrier with ventilation upgrade | $2,000-$4,000 |
Does a radiant barrier do anything in a humid Richmond attic?
Yes, and humidity makes it more useful, not less. Lowering the attic temperature means the air can’t hold as much moisture, so the whole space stays drier. It works alongside insulation, not instead of it, and the cooling savings show up fast in Richmond’s long summers.
Do I still need attic insulation if I add a radiant barrier?
Yes. The radiant barrier stops radiant heat, but insulation still stops conductive and convective heat coming through the ceiling. In Richmond’s climate you want both: a reflective barrier at the roof and proper R-value on the attic floor.
Insulation Removal & Replacement in Richmond
Insulation removal and replacement in Richmond is often a Harvey story. Thousands of local homes had waterlogged insulation stripped out in a hurry after the 2017 flood, and a lot of what went back in was the wrong material, installed over wet framing or across a moldy attic floor. Adding new insulation on top of that only seals in the problem. We remove contaminated or failed insulation, dry and treat the surfaces, and rebuild to the R-value Richmond’s climate actually demands. It’s one of the most detail-heavy jobs we do, and one where a free second opinion on any written estimate pays for itself. See our Insulation Removal & Replacement page for what full replacement involves.
Attic Insulation Removal
Signs you need it
Your existing insulation is matted, compressed, or visibly water-stained, or you’ve had rodent activity that left droppings and urine throughout the attic.
What it costs in Richmond
Attic insulation removal in Richmond typically runs $1.50-$3.00 per square foot for removal and disposal before new material goes in.
How we do it
We vacuum out the old material with commercial extraction equipment, bag it for disposal, and leave a clean deck ready for air sealing and new insulation.
Contaminated Insulation Removal
Signs you need it
You smell a persistent musty or ammonia-like odor from the attic, or post-Harvey work left mold-stained batts still in place.
What it costs in Richmond
Contaminated insulation removal in Richmond typically runs $2.00-$3.50 per square foot, with sanitizing and decontamination adding $800-$1,500 to the job.
How we do it
We remove the contaminated material under containment, treat the affected surfaces, and verify the space is dry before any new insulation is installed.
What Insulation Removal & Replacement Costs in Richmond
| Item | Typical range in Richmond |
|---|---|
| Attic insulation removal (per sq ft) | $1.50-$3.00 |
| Contaminated insulation removal (per sq ft) | $2.00-$3.50 |
| Vermiculite and old insulation removal | $2,500-$5,500 |
| Full attic insulation replacement | $3,000-$7,000 |
Can you tell if Harvey-repaired insulation is safe to keep?
We can, and we’ll show you before recommending removal. We look for water staining, mold growth, and improper facing on batts. If the material is dry and intact, we’ll tell you to keep it. If it’s compromised, we’ll say so plainly.
How much mess does attic insulation removal make in a Richmond home?
Very little when it’s done right. We run extraction hoses through sealed access points and contain the attic entry, so dust stays out of your living space. Richmond attics with tight access can take a little longer, but the house stays clean.
Attic Air Sealing in Richmond
Attic air sealing in Richmond is the highest-value prep step most homeowners skip. The stack effect pulls conditioned air out of the house through every unsealed crack, and the 150°F attic air pushes back down through the same gaps whenever the AC isn’t running hard. Sealing the attic floor before adding insulation is what makes the insulation actually perform. In Richmond’s humid climate, sealing also stops moist outdoor air from being pulled into the attic, where it condenses on ducts and framing. Our Attic Air Sealing process starts with a blower door to find every leak, not guess at them.
Attic Floor Air Sealing
Signs you need it
You feel drafts around ceiling fixtures, your energy bills are high despite decent insulation depth, or rooms lose temperature fast after the AC cycles off.
What it costs in Richmond
Attic floor air sealing in Richmond typically runs $800-$1,800 depending on attic size and the number of penetrations.
How we do it
We seal every gap between the living space and attic with foam, caulk, and blocking, focusing on top plates, wiring penetrations, and plumbing chases.
Can Light & Duct Boot Sealing
Signs you need it
Your recessed lights feel hot or drafty, your HVAC ducts sweat in the attic, or you can see daylight through gaps around ceiling fixtures.
What it costs in Richmond
Can light and duct boot sealing in Richmond typically runs $500-$1,200 for whole-attic coverage.
How we do it
We seal around each recessed light with approved covers or fire-rated foam, then seal every duct boot to the ceiling drywall so conditioned air stays in the rooms.
What Attic Air Sealing Costs in Richmond
| Item | Typical range in Richmond |
|---|---|
| Attic floor air sealing | $800-$1,800 |
| Top plate and penetration sealing | $400-$900 |
| Can light and duct boot sealing | $500-$1,200 |
| Attic hatch sealing | $200-$500 |
Is attic air sealing necessary if I’m adding new insulation?
Yes, and it should happen before the insulation goes down. Insulation slows heat transfer but doesn’t stop airflow. In a Richmond attic, unsealed penetrations under fresh insulation still leak, and you’ll be paying to cool air that escapes straight through the ceiling.
Will air sealing make my Richmond home too tight?
Not with proper ventilation in place. We seal the attic floor and penetrations but leave the attic’s own ventilation intact. The goal is to keep conditioned air in your living space and humid outdoor air out of the attic, not to seal the house off entirely.
Wall Insulation in Richmond
Wall insulation in Richmond is where we see the worst Harvey-era failures. Emergency contractors after the 2017 flood often installed unfaced or incorrectly faced batts in exterior walls because speed beat detail, and we regularly find vapor barriers reversed. In a climate where dew points sit in the mid-70s for months, that one mistake wicks summer humidity into the wall cavity and feeds mold behind the drywall. We fix these problems by removing the bad install or injecting insulation that fills the cavity completely without trapping moisture. The right wall assembly in Richmond is one that lets the wall dry outward while still stopping heat gain. Learn more on our Wall Insulation hub.
Injection Foam Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Your walls feel warm to the touch in summer, rooms won’t hold temperature, or you suspect the existing wall insulation was poorly installed post-Harvey.
What it costs in Richmond
Injection foam wall insulation in Richmond typically runs $2,000-$4,500 for exterior walls on a standard single-story home.
How we do it
We drill small access holes through the drywall or exterior, inject foam that expands to fill every gap in the cavity, then patch the holes cleanly.
Drill & Fill Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Your 1970s through 1990s Richmond home has empty or nearly empty wall cavities, and you want a less invasive upgrade than full wall tear-out.
What it costs in Richmond
Drill and fill wall insulation in Richmond typically runs $1,500-$3,500 depending on wall coverage and access.
How we do it
We drill into each stud bay, blow dense-pack cellulose or inject foam to fill the cavity, and make the repair points disappear.
What Wall Insulation Costs in Richmond
| Item | Typical range in Richmond |
|---|---|
| Injection foam wall insulation | $2,000-$4,500 |
| Drill and fill wall insulation | $1,500-$3,500 |
| Exterior wall insulation (new construction) | $1,000-$2,500 |
| Interior wall soundproofing | $800-$2,000 |
Can you fix wall insulation that was installed wrong after Harvey?
Yes, and it’s one of the most common calls we get in Pecan Grove and other Brazos-adjacent neighborhoods. We open a small section, check the vapor barrier orientation, and either correct the isolated problem or recommend cavity-wide remediation if the issue is widespread.
How do I know if my Richmond walls have mold behind the drywall?
Musty smells that don’t go away, staining at the baseboards, or allergy symptoms that flare indoors are the usual signs. We can do a thermal imaging scan and a small inspection opening to confirm before recommending the right fix.
Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing in Richmond
Attic cleaning and rodent proofing in Richmond has two seasons: after winter, when rats and squirrels have nested and multiplied, and after any flood event, when displaced rodents move into dry attics. The Brazos floodplain pushes animals upward into the first dry space they can find, and Richmond’s mix of mature trees and older rooflines gives them easy access. Once they’re in, the damage is never just noise. They chew wiring, soil the insulation, and leave droppings that make the attic a health hazard. We remove it all, sanitize the space, and seal every entry point so they don’t come back. Our Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing service handles the full cycle.
Attic Cleanout
Signs you need it
You hear scratching at night, see droppings in the insulation, or the existing insulation is so matted and soiled it no longer insulates.
What it costs in Richmond
Attic cleanout in Richmond typically runs $1,000-$3,000 depending on attic size and how much material needs removal.
How we do it
We vacuum out the old insulation and debris, bag everything for disposal, and leave a clean deck ready for new insulation.
Rodent Proofing & Exclusion
Signs you need it
You’ve had rodents in the attic before, you hear them return each winter, or you see chewed openings at soffits, vents, or roof intersections.
What it costs in Richmond
Rodent proofing and exclusion in Richmond typically runs $800-$2,000 for a full perimeter seal of entry points.
How we do it
We seal every gap, vent, and crack a rodent can use, install guards where needed, and verify with a final inspection that the attic is closed off.
What Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in Richmond
| Item | Typical range in Richmond |
|---|---|
| Attic cleanout | $1,000-$3,000 |
| Attic sanitizing and decontamination | $700-$1,600 |
| Rodent proofing and exclusion | $800-$2,000 |
| Attic restoration (cleaning plus new insulation) | $2,500-$6,000 |
Do I need to replace insulation after rodents in a Richmond attic?
Usually, yes. Rodents compress the insulation, leave droppings and urine throughout, and the material loses most of its R-value once it’s been soiled. We’ll show you the condition and recommend replacement only if it’s genuinely needed.
How long does rodent proofing last in Richmond?
Done correctly, it lasts indefinitely. The key is sealing every access point, not just the obvious ones. Richmond’s mature trees and older roof structures mean we inspect the entire roofline, not just the easy-to-reach spots.
Home Energy Audit in Richmond
A home energy audit in Richmond is the fastest way to find out where your cooling dollars are going before the next July electric bill lands. The audit measures exactly how much air leaks through your ceiling, walls, and ducts, and shows where heat is getting in. For Richmond homes with Harvey-era repairs or original 1970s through 1990s insulation, the findings are usually specific and sometimes surprising. We use blower door testing and thermal imaging to find problems you can’t see from the living room. It’s the starting point for every insulation decision we recommend. Full details on our Home Energy Audit process are worth reading before you schedule.
Blower Door Test
Signs you need it
Your bills are high, rooms are uneven, or you want hard numbers on how leaky your Richmond home actually is before spending on insulation.
What it costs in Richmond
A blower door test in Richmond typically runs $200-$450 as part of a full home energy audit.
How we do it
We install a calibrated fan in an exterior door, depressurize the house, and measure the exact airflow leaking through every gap, crack, and penetration.
Thermal Imaging Inspection
Signs you need it
You have rooms that never hold temperature, walls that feel warm in odd spots, or you suspect missing insulation in specific areas.
What it costs in Richmond
Thermal imaging in Richmond typically runs $150-$350 as part of a broader audit or a standalone inspection.
How we do it
We scan walls, ceilings, and floors with an infrared camera to see exactly where insulation is missing, thin, or wet, then target the fix to those spots.
What Home Energy Audit Costs in Richmond
| Item | Typical range in Richmond |
|---|---|
| Full home energy audit | $300-$700 |
| Blower door test | $200-$450 |
| Thermal imaging inspection | $150-$350 |
| Duct leakage test | $150-$400 |
How long does a home energy audit take in Richmond?
Most Richmond homes take two to four hours, depending on size, number of stories, and how many issues we find. You’ll get a written report with photos and a prioritized list of what to fix first, second, and skip entirely.
Will an energy audit tell me if my Harvey-era repairs are failing?
Yes, and this is one of the most valuable parts of the audit for Richmond homes. The blower door and thermal imaging will show air leaks and thermal gaps in walls that were repaired or insulated after 2017, so you can target fixes instead of guessing.

FAQs About Insulation in Richmond, TX
How quickly can you schedule insulation work in Richmond?
We typically schedule an in-home visit within a few business days, and most attic jobs in Richmond are finished in a single day. If your project involves opening walls with reversed or moisture-damaged batts, we’ll give you a realistic timeline before starting.
Do I need a permit for insulation work in Richmond?
Most attic and crawl space insulation projects in Richmond don’t require a separate permit since we’re not changing the structure of the home. If a wall cavity we open shows signs of mold from past moisture problems, we’ll flag it before closing everything back up.
How does the written estimate work?
We inspect the attic, crawl space, or walls in person, since Richmond has a mix of older homes and newer construction with different insulation needs. You get a written price before work starts, based on what we find.
Do you serve areas near Richmond?
Yes, we work throughout the surrounding communities in addition to Richmond. If your address is just outside city limits, give us a call and we’ll confirm coverage for your home before scheduling a visit out to you.
What do you do with the old insulation you remove?
We bag and haul away old insulation as part of the job. In Richmond, we sometimes find batts installed backward after past storm repairs, and any material like that gets removed and disposed of properly before new insulation goes in.

What Richmond Customers Say
"Spray foam in the garage ceiling under the bonus room. That room used to be unusable in summer. Walt talked me out of foaming the whole attic because it did not need it - saved me a couple thousand and I trust him more for it."
- Bud Larkin"Crawl space was wet every spring. They laid the heavy liner, sealed the vents, and put a dehumidifier down there. Floors are warm and the moisture meter he left reads fine now. He still answers when I text him a reading."
- Devon Pierce"The house had rats in the attic insulation and a smell we could not place. Walt's crew pulled all of it, sealed the gaps where they were getting in, sanitized, and put in new blown-in. He sent photos of the sealed openings so I could see it done."
