Critter Proofing Knee Walls in Lee, MA

This homeowner called because they were experiencing "suspicious noises" in their attic and suspected they had a rodent problem.

Our Building Science Specialist went to the home and inspected the attic area. We were able to confirm that there were, in fact, several rodents living in the insulation in the kneewall areas or the unfinished area, outside of the conditioned space, separated by a "kneewall", necessary to support the roof rafters. Dr. Energy Saver went into the affected area and fully removed the existing insulation. We prepared the attic for installation of fresh, clean insulation. We Installed a SuperKneeWall™ Upgrade - Install SilverGlo™ EPS foam board with radiant barrier along roof line, gable end(s) and blocking between floor joists. We then Installed SilverGlo™ on the roof deck.

This homeowner can now enjoy a rodent free home with much better energy efficiency and lower energy bills to boot!
