This page is for Boerne homeowners who’ve found CertainTeed insulation, vapor barriers, or radiant barrier products in their attic compromised by rodents, moisture, or accumulated debris, and need a crew that understands how CertainTeed’s specific material formulations affect cleanup and reinstallation decisions.

How CertainTeed Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• CertainTeed CertaSpray closed-cell foam develops a brittle surface in Boerne’s heat-cycling attic conditions, where summer roof deck temperatures exceed 140°F and winter nights drop below freezing. Rodents exploit this cracking to tunnel behind the foam, creating hidden contamination zones. We remove the compromised foam with cold-knife cutting, not grinding, to preserve the structural substrate, then apply a borate-treated replacement layer after full exclusion.
• CertainTeed MemBrain smart vapor retarder loses its variable-permeance function when saturated with rodent urine, effectively becoming a standard poly sheet that traps moisture against drywall in humid Hill Country shoulder seasons. We strip the membrane, HEPA-vacuum the top plates, and reinstall only after confirming the attic dew point won’t exceed the new membrane’s activation threshold.
• CertainTeed InsulSafe SP blown fiberglass compacts unevenly under rodent traffic paths, creating thermal bypasses that show up as 15-20°F temperature differentials on our infrared scans. We don’t add new material over the compressed zones; we remove the contaminated insulation entirely, seal the attic floor at the top plates and can lights, then reinstall to consistent depth with a carded depth gauge every four feet.
• CertainTeed SmartBATT with MoistureSense technology - fiberglass batts with a built-in vapor retarder - delaminates when rodents nest against the kraft facing, separating the retarder from the fiberglass core. The pink indicator strip turns permanently dark even after drying, giving false moisture readings. We document this with photos for the homeowner’s records, then replace with unfaced batts plus a separate, serviceable vapor retarder strategy.
• CertainTeed ThermaCal vinyl faced insulation boards, common in Boerne’s 1990s-2000s ranch additions, warp when contaminated rodent waste breaks down the vinyl facing’s adhesive. The warping creates gaps at the seams that defeat the radiant barrier function. We remove these boards entirely, clean the roof deck with enzyme treatment, and reinstall only if the homeowner wants to maintain the original system; otherwise we recommend a ventilated radiant barrier alternative that doesn’t trap condensation against the deck.

Our CertainTeed Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Process

1. 1
   Call and scheduling. A live person answers, or you can text. We schedule a site visit in Boerne within 48 hours, often next-day. You’ll get a text when the technician is en route with a name and photo.
2. 2
   Attic inspection and documentation. We photograph every CertainTeed product line present, note the contamination depth and square footage, and run a blower-door test if air sealing is part of the scope. The technician identifies whether your insulation is OEM-replaceable or if a compatible aftermarket product makes more sense.
3. 3
   Written price and scope. Before any work starts, you receive a flat price, written scope, and written warranty. This is Haven Standard Clause 1. No surprises, no day-of upsells.
4. 4
   Exclusion and rodent proofing. We seal entry points with galvanized steel mesh, copper wool, and concrete patch where rodents have chewed through soffits or roof returns. This happens before any cleaning; otherwise you’re paying to decontaminate twice.
5. 5
   Insulation removal and decontamination. We bag and remove contaminated CertainTeed products, HEPA-vacuum the attic deck, and apply an enzyme-based sanitizer to break down organic waste. We treat for mites and fleas if the rodent load was heavy.
6. 6
   Reinstallation and verification. New insulation goes in only after the attic is clean and sealed. On applicable jobs, we run a second blower-door test and hand you the before-and-after readings in pascals. Every job closes with a Documented Photo Record emailed within 24 hours.

What CertainTeed Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in Boerne

These are real ranges from CertainTeed jobs we’ve completed in Boerne and the Hill Country. Your written estimate will land inside these brackets or we’ll explain exactly why your situation is different.

What moves the price: square footage, insulation depth, whether the original CertainTeed product requires specialized removal (foam vs. loose fill), accessibility of the attic, and whether live rodent trapping is needed before exclusion. We don’t charge extra for the photo record or the blower-door test; those are included.
