Key Takeaways

• We’re an independent Johns Manville service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer. That means we fix what’s actually wrong, warranty-safe, without pushing you toward a full replacement you don’t need.
• Rodents shred Johns Manville fiberglass batts and blow-in insulation fast. Once the material is contaminated, its thermal performance drops and it becomes a health issue, not just a nuisance.
• Most attic cleanouts and rodent-proofing jobs are done in one visit by background-checked, uniformed technicians.
• Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, we make it right.

How Johns Manville Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Johns Manville makes solid insulation. We’re not here to knock it. But Palmdale attics are brutal on any material, and rodents don’t care whose name is on the label. Here’s what we see most often on Johns Manville-specific jobs.

• Rodent damage to Climate Pro® blow-in fiberglass. Rats and mice tunnel through loose-fill insulation, compressing it into dense, dirty mats. Compressed fiberglass loses R-value significantly, and once animal urine soaks in, the material is done. We remove the contaminated fill, sanitize the attic deck, and blow in fresh material matched to the original depth. With Climate Pro, we often can restore the original R-value without switching brands if the homeowner wants to stay consistent.
• Shredded kraft facing on ComfortTherm® batts. The kraft paper facing on Johns Manville batts is a rodent nesting goldmine. Mice tear it into strips. Worse, the facing can trap moisture against the drywall below, and in Palmdale’s temperature swings, that trapped moisture invites mold. We remove damaged batts, check the deck for moisture damage, and reinstall with unfaced batts where appropriate or new faced batts with the facing properly positioned against the conditioned side.
• Buried soffit vents and blocked airflow. Johns Manville’s own installation guides emphasize ventilation. But rodents don’t read the guide. They push insulation up against soffit vents, cutting airflow and turning a Palmdale attic into an oven in July. During rodent proofing, we clear every vent, then install galvanized mesh barriers so air moves freely and rodents stay out.
• Attic access hatches with gaps around the perimeter. This isn’t the insulation’s fault, but it’s where Palmdale rodents get in. John Manville’s energy guides call for air sealing at the hatch, and we agree. We weatherstrip and seal the hatch, then add a rigid foam cap so your conditioned air stays in the house.
• Dirty Johns Manville duct wrap and pipe insulation. Rodents love clambering over ductwork wrapped in JM Microlite®. They tear the outer jacket, exposing raw fiberglass and letting heated attic air attack your cool air in summer. We patch or replace damaged wrap, then secure the jacket with pest-resistant tape and mesh where needed.

Our Johns Manville Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Process

Here’s how a typical job goes from first call to finished attic. No surprises.

1. 1
   Call and talk to a human. You call (661) 613-2043. A live person answers, asks about your home and what you’re seeing. We schedule a visit, usually within a day or two.
2. 2
   Attic inspection. A uniformed, background-checked tech walks the attic. We check insulation type and depth, look for rodent entry points, signs of nesting, chewed wiring, and moisture. We photograph everything.
3. 3
   Upfront pricing. We quote the job before any work starts. That price holds. No hidden fees, no “while we’re in there” add-ons. You know exactly what you’re paying.
4. 4
   Cleanout and sanitization. We remove contaminated insulation, vacuum the deck, and treat the space with a professional-grade enzyme sanitizer that breaks down urine and odor-causing bacteria.
5. 5
   Exclusion and proofing. We seal every entry point we find: soffit gaps, roofline gaps, pipe penetrations, vent openings. We use galvanized mesh, hardware cloth, and sealant rated for high desert heat.
6. 6
   Fresh insulation and final check. We blow in or batten in fresh insulation to the right depth for Palmdale’s climate, reinstall what we removed, and walk you through the before-and-after photos. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the whole job.
