How CertainTeed Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• CertainTeed InsulSafe SP blown-in fiberglass compacts under rodent traffic and loses its labeled R-value when urine crystallizes in the glass fibers. In Seguin’s humid shoulder seasons, that crystallization reactivates and drives odor back into the house through can-light penetrations. We remove the contaminated InsulSafe SP, HEPA-vac the deck, and seal top plates before installing replacement material.
• CertainTeed SpeedyR rotary wool was common in 2015-2019 builds around the Guadalupe Regional Medical Center area, and rodents shred it for nesting faster than fiberglass because the wool fibers interlock. We document the compression depth with photos, remove the wool, and apply an enzyme treatment to the decking before reinstalling with a product better suited to active attic spaces.
• CertainTeed OPTIMA blown-in system uses a two-component adhesive that breaks down when saturated with rodent urine; the insulation clumps and falls away from rafter bays in sheets. We see this most in Segin homes with roof leaks the owner didn’t know about until the odor started. The fix is full removal, deck sanitizing, and switching to a non-adhesive product if rodent re-entry risk remains.
• CertainTeed MemBrain smart vapor retarder, when installed over attic floor insulation, traps moisture from rodent activity and creates a condensation plane that grows mold on the facing. We remove the compromised MemBrain, treat the affected joist bays, and reinstall only after the rodent exclusion is proven complete - otherwise the same trapping happens again.
• CertainTeed TrueComfort blown-in fiberglass holds up better than wool or adhesive products but still collects rodent fecal pellets in its density layers, which standard vacuuming won’t extract. We use a commercial insulation vacuum with agitation wand, then run a separate HEPA pass for the pellet residue before applying sanitizer. The TrueComfort can sometimes be left in place if contamination is limited to the top few inches.

Our CertainTeed Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Process

1. 1
   Inspection with photo documentation. We photograph every CertainTeed product line present, note the installation depth, and map rodent entry points with a focus on roof-wall junctions and plumbing stacks common in Seguin’s 1980s-2000s housing stock.
2. 2
   Written price and scope. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, you get a flat price, written scope, and written warranty before anyone lifts a tool. No work starts without it.
3. 3
   Rodent exclusion first. We seal entry points with steel mesh and copper wool - materials rodents can’t chew through - before touching insulation. This prevents re-contamination of new material.
4. 4
   Insulation removal and deck treatment. Contaminated CertainTeed product is vacuumed out, the deck receives enzyme treatment and sanitizer, and we HEPA-vac all surfaces. We also service Reflectix radiant barrier products if present.
5. 5
   Air sealing and replacement. Top plates, can lights, and penetrations are sealed. Replacement insulation goes in only after the attic is clean, sealed, and verified rodent-free.
6. 6
   Documentation delivery. You receive a Documented Photo Record of the completed work, including before-and-after images and a written warranty. The report goes home with you - the numbers do the talking.
