This page is for West Covina homeowners whose Demilec spray foam or open-cell insulation has been through it: rodents nesting, droppings piling up, foam torn and scattered. If that sounds like your attic, call Walt’s Insulation at (626) 612-1532. We’ll walk you through what we’re seeing and what it’ll take to fix it, no pressure.

How Demilec Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Demilec makes solid insulation, but no product survives rodents and years of neglect untouched. Here’s what we see most often in West Covina attics, and what we do about it.

• Demilec Heatlok HFO Pro peeled back by nesting. Rats and mice love the warm crevices where spray foam meets framing. They tear chunks away to clear travel paths, and once the foam’s gone, your thermal envelope leaks. We remove the damaged foam, sanitize the cavity, and re-foam or patch so the barrier is continuous again.
• Open-cell Demilec (Sealection 500) soaked with urine. Open-cell foam absorbs liquid, and rodent urine doesn’t just sit on top. It soaks in. The smell lingers because the foam holds it. We cut out the saturated sections, treat the framing beneath, and replace with new material. Spot-cleaning doesn’t cut it once it’s soaked through.
• Droppings piled in foam crevices. Demilec foam cures with a rough, uneven surface, which gives debris plenty of places to collect. We vacuum and decontaminate every inch, including the corners where droppings hide under loose foam.
• R-Value drop from displaced or compressed foam. When rodents tunnel through open-cell foam, they compress it. Compressed foam insulates poorly. After cleaning, we assess the damage and top off or replace so your attic actually performs the way Demilec designed it to.
• Entry points through soffits, gable vents, and roof junctions. The foam isn’t the entry point, but it often hides the gap. Rodents chew through the foam at the edges of vents and rooflines. We find the actual hole, seal it with exclusion material that rodents can’t chew through, then re-foam over it cleanly.

One more thing worth saying: Demilec’s own documentation covers proper application and curing, but it won’t tell you how to handle a rat colony that’s been living in the foam for a year. That’s where field experience matters. We’ve seen it, and we know what’s salvageable and what isn’t.

Our Demilec Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Process

Here’s how a Demilec attic cleaning and rodent proofing job goes from first call to final walkthrough at Walt’s Insulation.

1. 1
   Inspection and diagnosis. We get into the attic and map what we’re dealing with: rodent activity, foam damage, moisture, and air leaks. You get photos and a straight answer about what’s urgent and what can wait.
2. 2
   Estimate with clear scope. We write up exactly what we’ll do and what it costs. No vague line items, no surprise upcharges. You approve before we touch anything.
3. 3
   Removal of contaminated material. We pull out foam that’s been soaked, chewed, or buried in droppings. What’s clean and intact stays. No point ripping out good insulation.
4. 4
   Sanitizing and decontamination. We treat the affected areas with a proper attic decontamination process: vacuuming, cleaning, and treating surfaces so your attic doesn’t smell like the inside of a rodent nest in August.
5. 5
   Exclusion and sealing. Every entry point gets sealed with materials rodents can’t chew back through. Then we patch or re-foam the insulation around those seals so the barrier is airtight.
6. 6
   Final check and cleanup. We walk the attic with you if you want, show you the work, and make sure nothing’s left behind. The Done Right Promise covers this job for life. If it’s not done right, we make it right.

We’ve been doing this work since 2000, and the process hasn’t changed much because it doesn’t need to. Do it in the right order, use the right materials, and don’t cut corners.

What Demilec Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in West Covina

Here’s what you can expect to pay for common Demilec attic cleaning and rodent proofing scenarios in West Covina:

• Attic cleanout and sanitizing only: $450 to $900. Smaller attics, light contamination.
• Rodent proofing and exclusion sealing: $600 to $1,400. Depends on how many entry points and how much sealing material we use.
• Full cleanup plus exclusion on a heavily infested attic: $1,200 to $1,800. This is where the foam’s been damaged and we’re doing everything.
• Patch re-foaming after removal: $250 to $800 depending on square footage and foam type. Most Demilec patches in West Covina run on the lower end.

What moves the price: attic size, access difficulty, how much foam needs cutting out, and how long the rodents have been in there. Call (626) 612-1532 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and we’ll tell you straight if something’s not worth paying for.
