As a homeowner or a tenant, you may not fully understand the importance of having a clean attic. However, it is vital in ensuring a healthy environment for you and the family. Think of it this way, would your home be a healthy place to live if there were rodents in the attic taking a dump and multiplying by the dozens each day? How long before those rodents start entering your living space?

Rodent infestations can trigger severe health issues that, if not dealt with, can lead to numerous problems later. Not to mention there may also be a thick layer of dust in your attic, accumulated over the years. That’s why it is so crucial that you clean the attic sooner rather than later.

Then there are practical reasons for getting your attic professionally cleaned. For starters, it helps us identify potential insulation and space issues. We can spot early sights of roof damage, which, when identified in time, addressing these issues can save you a bundle of cash.

California is well known for its rodents. If there is one thing, we all need to deal with is rodent infestations; having rodents living happily in your attic is a different level of danger. The problem is that most of our clients are unable to tell if their attics have become Disneyland for the local rodent population, but they start worrying after noticing droppings across their living room. That’s why we advocate taking a proactive approach to getting rid of them. We offer complete FREE attic rodent removal and proofing with attic insulation upgrade service.

    Rodents love attics for different reasons compared to us humans. The attic is dry, warm, and it’s hard for natural predators like hawks to feast on them. Plus, they have a few generations’ supply of food in the form of insulation and stuff you may have stored up there. Plus, since you never go up there, they live undisturbed.

Here is a short list of health issues associated with having rats in your attic:

• Plague
• Lassa fever
• South African Arenavirus
• Leptospirosis
• Bite Fever from rats

Layers of Dust

Dust is a common sight in Cali, so common that it never occurs to us that it may be a common cause of various health issues. It can trigger everything from asthma to allergies. Click here to know more about our bestselling air purfier system! Effective and affordable!

    A 2005 Australian Study found that dust in the attic contained various contaminants, including heavy metals, which posed a severe health risk. While we may not think dust is very dangerous, when you have enough of it, it can make it hard to breathe amongst, causing other issues. Again, that’s why you must invest in professional attic cleaning at least once a year.
