We’ve been sealing and insulating homes in Pflugerville since 2016, and we’ve learned that Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing - Pflugerville problems rarely stay in the attic. Rodent waste degrades insulation R-value, contaminated air pulls into living spaces through recessed can lights and top plate gaps, and chewed wiring creates fire hazards that homeowners don’t discover until something fails. Our crews have handled attic cleanouts in neighborhoods from Blackhawk to Windermere to Heatherwilde, and we’ve documented every job with before-and-after photos and written scopes under The Haven Standard. When you hire Topside Attic Insulation Pflugerville, you get a background-checked, uniformed technician, a text when they’re en route, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise backed by a written warranty.
What Our Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Service Includes
Attic Cleanout
An attic cleanout is the removal of all contaminated insulation, debris, rodent nesting material, and droppings down to the ceiling deck. In Pflugerville, we typically find this necessary after roof rat or mouse activity in homes built between 1995 and 2015, especially in areas near greenbelts like those along Wilbarger Creek. Our crew vacuums out loose-fill fiberglass or cellulose using HEPA-filtered extraction equipment, bags everything on-site, and hauls it away. You receive photos of the empty attic deck before any restoration work begins.
Attic Sanitizing & Decontamination
Attic sanitizing applies EPA-registered disinfectants and enzymatic treatments to break down organic waste, neutralize odors, and reduce airborne pathogen risk. This step matters in Pflugerville’s humid subtropical climate, where summer attic temperatures exceed 140°F and accelerate bacterial growth in rodent urine and feces. We fog the entire attic volume with a commercial-grade sanitizer, then apply a deodorizing treatment to joist bays and the ceiling deck. The product we use is safe for occupied homes and leaves no residual scent once dry.
Rodent Proofing & Exclusion
Rodent proofing, also called exclusion, is the sealing of every entry point larger than one-quarter inch to prevent re-infestation. We inspect the roofline, soffits, fascia, gable vents, plumbing penetrations, and chimney gaps using lift equipment when needed. In Pflugerville’s newer subdivisions like Avalon and Sorento, we’ve found that builder-grade vent screens and unsealed garage-to-attic chases are the most common entry paths. We install galvanized steel mesh, concrete patching, and specialized exclusion hardware that outlasts foam or caulk, which rodents chew through. Every sealed point is photographed and noted on your written scope.
Attic Restoration
Attic restoration replaces what was removed during cleanout with new insulation, air sealing, and sometimes radiant barrier or baffle installation to restore and improve thermal performance. We never blow new insulation over an unsealed attic floor, so our crews first seal top plates, can lights, wire penetrations, and duct boots with fire-rated caulk and rigid foam. Then we install your chosen insulation, whether that’s blown fiberglass from CertainTeed, mineral wool batts from Rockwool, or open-cell spray foam from Icynene. On applicable jobs, we run a blower-door test before and after to document the air-sealing improvement in CFM50, a pressurization reading that shows, in one number, how much conditioned air your home was losing.

Brands We Service for Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing
We work with insulation and air-sealing materials from the manufacturers that professional envelope contractors actually specify. For attic restoration after rodent damage, we regularly install Rockwool mineral wool batts, which resist moisture and don’t provide nesting material for returning pests. We’ve also completed hundreds of attic restorations using CertainTeed fiberglass loose-fill and Icynene open-cell spray foam, matching the product to the home’s existing envelope conditions and the homeowner’s performance goals. Our material choices aren’t limited to proprietary lines, so we can source Johns Manville, Knauf, Demilec, GreenFiber, or Owens Corning products when the job calls for them.
Whether your original insulation was blown fiberglass, damp-spray cellulose, or board stock, we can identify it, remove it safely, and replace it with a documented upgrade. If you’re not sure what you have, we’ll photograph it during the estimate and explain the removal and replacement options in writing before any work starts.
Before
AfterSigns You Need Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Right Now
- Scratching or scurrying sounds overhead, especially between 10 PM and 4 AM. Roof rats are nocturnal, and Pflugerville’s mature tree canopy provides continuous aerial highways into attic vents and soffit gaps. Ignoring these sounds typically leads to chewed wiring, compressed insulation trails, and accumulated waste that degrades indoor air quality.
- Urine-like ammonia odor that intensifies on hot days. Attic temperatures in Pflugerville peak in July and August, volatilizing rodent urine crystals and pulling the smell into living spaces through ceiling penetrations. If you notice this smell near return air grilles or in second-floor rooms, contamination has likely reached a level requiring professional removal.
- Insulation that appears flattened, tunneled, or stained in patches. Rodents compress fiberglass batts into runways and nest in the warmest corners near HVAC ducts. Flattened insulation loses R-value, and stained areas indicate waste accumulation that standard vacuums won’t safely remove.
- Droppings or dead insects concentrated near attic hatches or recessed lights. These are often the first visible signs homeowners notice. In Pflugerville homes with spray foam or sealed attics, rodents may concentrate activity near the one or two access points, making detection easier but also meaning the contamination is highly localized and dense.
- Increased allergy symptoms, respiratory irritation, or unexplained HVAC filter clogging. Rodent dander, dried waste particles, and the fungi that grow on organic attic debris all become airborne through stack effect and duct leakage. If your filters are clogging faster than the manufacturer interval, your attic may be the source.
Our Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Process - Step by Step
- 1
On-site inspection and written estimate. We arrive on schedule, send a text when en route, and inspect the attic, roofline, and exterior entry points with lift equipment if needed. You receive a flat price, written scope, and written warranty before anyone lifts a tool. This is Haven Standard Clause 1.
- 2
HEPA-filtered removal and bagging of contaminated materials. Our crew sets up containment, runs negative air machines if necessary, and removes all insulation, debris, and organic waste using commercial extraction equipment. Nothing is pushed into wall cavities or left in joist bays.
- 3
Sanitizing, deodorizing, and structural assessment. We fog the attic deck and joists with EPA-registered disinfectant, then inspect for chewed wiring, damaged ductwork, and compromised decking. Any needed repairs are documented with photos and added to the scope only with your written approval.
- 4
Rodent exclusion and air sealing. Every entry point one-quarter inch or larger is sealed with rodent-proof materials. Then we seal top plates, can lights, penetrations, and duct boots to eliminate the air leaks that pull attic contaminants into living spaces. On applicable jobs, we run a blower-door test to establish the before-and-after CFM50 reading.
- 5
Insulation replacement and final documentation. New insulation is installed to the agreed R-value and depth, baffles are added at eaves if needed, and we photograph the completed work. You receive a Documented Photo Record, the written warranty, and any blower-door numbers before the crew leaves.
How Much Does Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Cost in Pflugerville?
A typical attic cleanout and sanitizing in a Pflugerville home between 1,800 and 2,400 square feet runs $1,200-$2,200, depending on insulation depth and contamination level, which aligns with our Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing in Round Rock pricing. Adding full rodent proofing and exclusion raises most projects to $2,400-$3,200. Complete attic restoration with insulation replacement typically falls between $2,800 and $3,800, with spray foam or high-performance mineral wool at the upper end of that range.
Several factors move the price. Attic accessibility matters: a scuttle hole in a closet costs more in labor than a full-size pull-down stair. The type of existing insulation affects removal time; damp-spray cellulose takes longer to extract than loose-fill fiberglass. Roof pitch and height determine whether we need lift equipment. And the extent of structural repair, if any, is priced separately with your approval.
We don’t estimate over the phone. Every price is based on what we see in your attic, and every estimate is free with no obligation. If you have a written estimate from another contractor, bring it to us. We’ll review it with you line by line under our Free Second Opinion policy. Call (737) 259-8352 to schedule.
