Icynene Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Nationwide

Icynene Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing in Pflugerville: What to Know First

We provide independent Icynene attic cleaning and rodent proofing in Pflugerville, with most jobs completed in one visit and pricing put in writing before any work starts. Typical turnaround runs same-day to 48 hours depending on contamination severity and whether the foam needs partial removal to access nesting sites. Most Pflugerville homeowners with Icynene open-cell or closed-cell systems should expect attic cleaning and rodent proofing to run between $2,800 and $6,400 for a complete job, with written scope delivered upfront under our Haven Standard Clause 1.

This page is for homeowners in Pflugerville, Windermere, and the Stone Hill Town Center corridor who found droppings, nesting material, or compressed foam in an Icynene-insulated attic and need the problem fixed without voiding what remains of their insulation’s performance.

How Icynene Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Icynene Classic Max (open-cell) - rodent tunneling and compression. The 0.5 lb/ft³ density creates a soft matrix that rats and squirrels burrow through rather than go around, collapsing the thermal barrier in paths that show up as cold spots on infrared. We remove contaminated sections, treat the substrate with enzyme cleaner, install galvanized steel exclusion mesh at soffit and ridge vent intersections, then re-foam only after sealing every penetration.
• Icynene MD-C-200 (closed-cell) - delamination from rodent urine salts. The rigid 2.0 lb/ft³ shell separates from roof decking when saturated with urine, creating air gaps that defeat both R-value and vapor control. We cut out delaminated panels back to sound adhesion, sanitize the deck with botanical antimicrobial, and reapply matching closed-cell thickness after exclusion work is complete.
• Icynene H2Foam Lite (water-blown open-cell) - moisture loading in Pflugerville’s humid shoulder seasons. The water-blown chemistry holds more hygroscopic load than petroleum-blown alternatives; combined with rodent activity that breaches the vapor profile, we see mold at the foam-deck interface in attics east of SH-130 where morning dew lingers. We remove affected foam, dry the deck with targeted airflow, treat with antimicrobial, and reinstall only after confirming moisture content below 19% with pin meter.
• Icynene LD-C-50 (low-density commercial open-cell) - mechanical damage from stored items. Homeowners in newer Pflugerville builds near Heatherwilde use the attic for storage, compressing the 3.5-inch nominal thickness to under 1 inch at walkway paths. Rodents then nest in these pre-compressed zones. We vacuum out contaminated material, install plywood catwalks over fresh foam to prevent recurrence, and exclude at entry points.
• All Icynene lines - thermal bridging at missed air gaps during original install. Pflugerville’s 2018-2022 build boom saw crews blowing foam over unsealed top plates and can-light housings; rodents exploit these gaps as highways. We run a blower-door test - a pressurization measurement that shows, in one number, how much air the building envelope is losing - before and after sealing, and hand you the written report with actual CFM50 numbers. The report tells you what the house does. The insulation changes what the house does. Those are two different conversations.

Our Icynene Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Process

1. 1
   Written price and scope before arrival. We send a flat price based on attic square footage, foam type, and contamination level. No work starts without it - Haven Standard Clause 1.
2. 2
   Blower-door baseline and photo documentation. We pressurize the house, record CFM50, and photograph every contaminated foam section, entry point, and structural concern. You get this record before we touch anything.
3. 3
   Controlled foam removal and HEPA containment. We section out contaminated Icynene with reciprocating blades and vacuum capture, bagging debris in the attic rather than dragging it through living space. Different approach for open-cell versus closed-cell - open-cell shreds and vacuums; closed-cell comes out in plates we cut to minimize dust.
4. 4
   Exclusion with galvanized steel, not spray foam alone. Rodents chew through foam. We install 19-gauge steel mesh at all soffit, ridge, gable, and plumbing penetration points, secured with exterior-grade fasteners. Foam seals air; steel stops teeth.
5. 5
   Sanitization, drying verification, and reinstallation. Enzyme treatment on wood substrate, pin-meter confirmation below 19% moisture, then matching Icynene product reinstalled to original thickness. We do not substitute generic open-cell for Icynene-specified product without written homeowner approval.
6. 6
   Post-job blower-door test and documented record. Final pressurization reading, photo record of completed work, written warranty, and 365-Day Done Right Promise delivered before we leave. Wes Okafor reviews every report personally.

What Icynene Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in Pflugerville

What moves the price: square footage, whether the foam is open-cell (faster to remove) or closed-cell (denser, more labor), extent of deck staining requiring antimicrobial treatment, and accessibility - Pflugerville’s steep-pitch roofs in Windermere take longer than standard truss attics near downtown. We also service Reflectix radiant barrier systems if your attic has hybrid insulation we need to work around.

Every estimate is free, every price is written before work starts, and we offer a Free Second Opinion on any written estimate you’ve already received. Call (737) 259-8352.
