About one third of temperature change in a home comes through uninsulated walls
Energy-efficient homes are insulated from roof to foundation, but many older Bay Area homes were built with little or no insulation in the walls.
Attic insulation should come first, since about a quarter of heat loss is through the top of the home. Then it's time to look at the walls.
Non-toxic, blown-in, high performance
Today's wall insulation is made from state-of-the-art materials.
Made from recycled material
Cellulose is made mostly from recycled paper, which helps reduce your carbon footprint.
No fiberglass
Cellulose contains no fiberglass, so there are no itchy glass fibers in your walls.
Seamless coverage
Blown cellulose fills cracks and crevices to create a continuous barrier.
Fire, mold & pest resistance
It's treated with borates, which help it resist fire, mold and insects.

Insulated walls block heat and sound
We use specialist equipment to blow treated cellulose into the cavities of both interior and exterior walls. Insulated walls are a barrier to heat transfer and help soundproof your home.
Drill, fill and patch
A cavity wall has two faces with a gap between them, the cavity. Most walls, interior and exterior, have one. Installation method and expertise are critical to how well the insulation performs.
- We drill a planned pattern of small holes
- Treated cellulose is blown in under pressure until the cavity is completely full
- Holes are plugged and patched
- The result: thermal efficiency, sound proofing and fire resistance that should last the life of your home

“This company has done a unrivaled job. They stand behind their reputation and are true to their word. They did insulation clean up, installing new insulation, sanitized and rodent proof. It's only been a few days but you can already tell the different in the temperature of our house!”
“Attic Crew really saved us! The insulation we had in our house was so ancient, we were using the heater all day and night! After Attic Crew changed our insulation and cleaned our attic, everything became so much better! The house stays cool on the warm days and warm on the cold days.”
“I was looking for a company to do my attic insulation and saw they used Eco bat insulation so I decide to give them a call. Am I glad I did, I never realized what a difference insulation would make! They explained everything to me and made very quick work of the process. I couldn't be happier with the entire experience, from the quote to the final job!”
Cavity Wall Insulation FAQ
Do you have to remove drywall or siding?
No. We blow insulation in through small holes drilled in a planned pattern, then plug and patch them.
Is cellulose insulation safe?
Yes. It's made mostly from recycled paper and treated with borates, and it contains no fiberglass.
Will wall insulation make my home quieter?
Yes. Filled wall cavities reduce sound coming in from outside and moving between rooms.
Should I insulate the attic or the walls first?
Usually the attic, since more heat is lost through the top of the home. We'll look at both during the free inspection and recommend the best order.
