Information About Attic Restoration - Cleanup Services
When animals live in your attic, they can create significant damage and leave a big mess behind. Attic restoration is the process of restoring your attic to the original condition prior to the animal infestation. This can involve repairing chewed electrical wires and air ducts, but it most importantly involves the cleaning of animal waste.  The droppings and urine can act as hot spot for disease, such as Leptospirosis,  raccoon roundworm, hookworm, Cryptosporidiosis, and more. Most of these are of lower risk, and only occur if feces is accidentally ingested or in some cases if dust is inhaled. Feces and urine can also be a fertile place for mold growth, which can cause harmful spores or Histoplasmosis.  Major health issues from this is rare, and depends on you interacting with the feces of air in the attic space. There are other reasons to clean the attic, such as odor issues and loss of r-value for the animals compressing or moving the insulation. Even in you don't notice the odor, other animals will, especially since animal waste often contains pheromones that attract other animals. Even the smell of rodents can attract snakes into the attic. Your attic may contain nesting material, and parasites such as fleas or mites, which can get into the house and bite. Attic restoration isn't always necessary, but if you have a heavy amount of attic damage and animal waste, it may be a good idea.

How much does attic restoration cost? It is usually priced by the square foot. Other factors, such as the level of soiling, and ease of attic mobility can impact price. A full inspection of your attic is needed to give exact cost. It is not cheap, and a big job with insulation replacement can be several thousand dollars. Many times homeowner's insurance will cover the cost. 

Animals in the attic always leave waste behind, and it can be a carrier of diseases, as well as cause other problems. Attic restoration isn't always necessary, but many times if animal has been in the attic more than a few days, it is a good idea to clean the attic. The cost of attic restoration is not cheap, but it may be a good investment in your health or the value of your Home. It may also be something you will have to do down the road to sell your home. At that point because your insurance normally only gives you a year after the incident to file a claim you will have to cover the entire cost yourself or significantly lower your selling price.
