• Every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: a written guarantee, and if the work fails within a year, we return at no charge.

How Owens Corning Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Owens Corning blown-in insulation is a solid product when installed correctly. But in Sacramento’s climate, we see recurring problems. Here’s what actually goes wrong, and what we do about it.

• Settling and compression from AttiCat fiberglass. Owens Corning’s AttiCat blown-in fiberglass can settle over time, dropping below its labeled R-value. In Sacramento, the thermal cycling from 100°F attic heat to 40°F winter nights accelerates this. We top up settled areas to restore the R-value you paid for, and we tell you if the original installer under-blew to begin with. That happens more than you’d think.
• Moisture absorption from ProPink near soffit vents. ProPink blown-in fiberglass batts and blown material can wick moisture if it’s blown too close to soffit vents in Sacramento’s rainy winters. Wet insulation loses R-value fast and can stain drywall below. We correct the venting path with baffles, remove the compromised material, and re-blow to the right depth.
• Uneven coverage from DIY or low-bid installs. We walk into a lot of Sacramento attics where AttiCat was blown by someone who didn’t map the attic in zones. You get 14 inches in one corner and 4 inches above the master bedroom. That’s a thermal mess. We remove the guesswork, level the coverage, and run thermal readings before and after so the numbers match the invoice.
• Air sealing failure under existing Owens Corning material. Blown-in insulation over an unsealed attic floor is like putting a sweater on in a wind tunnel. Sacramento homes, especially older ranch-style stock in Land Park and Curtis Park, leak air through top plates, can lights, and attic hatches. We pull back the existing Owens Corning material, seal the bypasses, and re-blow. That’s the difference between insulation that works and insulation that just sits there.
• Pest damage and contamination. Rodents and raccoons in Sacramento’s older neighborhoods tear through blown-in fiberglass like it’s not there. Contaminated material has to come out, not just get covered over. We remove the damaged Owens Corning material, sanitize where needed, and re-insulate with fresh blown-in product.

Our Owens Corning Blown In Insulation Process

Here’s how a typical Owens Corning blown-in insulation job runs from the first call to the final thermal check.

1. 1
   Call and assessment. You talk to a live person, not a voicemail. We schedule a walk-through of the attic. We look at existing material, measure depth, check venting, and note any air leaks.
2. 2
   Written price. Before any tool comes off the truck, you get a written quote in your hand. That number is the number on the invoice. No revision at the door.
3. 3
   Prep and removal. If old material is contaminated, compressed, or failing, we remove it. If it’s clean and just low, we can top up on top of it. We don’t blow over problems.
4. 4
   Air sealing. We seal the bypasses: top plates, can lights, attic hatch, duct chases. This is where most of the actual thermal performance comes from. We use materials that hold up in Sacramento’s heat.
5. 5
   Blown-in installation. We blow Owens Corning AttiCat or ProPink to the R-value we quoted, typically R-38 to R-60 for Sacramento attics. We map zones so coverage is even, not just deep in the middle.
6. 6
   Thermal verification. We run thermal readings before we leave. If the numbers don’t match what we promised, we keep working until they do. Every job includes the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

Why Sacramento Homeowners Call Alden Insulation Sacramento for Owens Corning Work

We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, which has held contractors to a single standard since 2002.

Bryce Holloway, the owner here at Alden Insulation Sacramento, grew up in Los Angeles and learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending the better part of two decades studying how buildings hold heat and shed it. He and the crew have worked Sacramento territory for years, from older ranch-style homes in Land Park to newer builds along the river corridor. He reads an attic the way a mechanic reads an engine: methodically. No guessing.

We also work with Johns Manville, Knauf, Rockwool, CertainTeed, Icynene, Demilec, GreenFiber, and Reflectix, which means if Owens Corning isn’t the best fit for your attic, we’ll tell you and tell you why. We don’t have a brand allegiance to guard. We have a job to do.
