Professional attic decontamination, contaminated insulation removal, attic insulation replacement, and complete attic restoration services following rodent infestations, animal contamination, and biohazard exposure.
Rodent infestations can turn an attic into a significant health hazard long before visible damage becomes apparent. Rats, mice, squirrels, raccoons, birds, and other animals often leave behind droppings, urine, nesting materials, parasites, and contaminated insulation that may expose occupants to airborne bacteria, viruses, allergens, and unpleasant odors.
911 Hazmat Cleanup provides complete attic restoration services throughout Northern and Central California, including attic cleanup from rodents, contaminated insulation removal, attic decontamination, attic insulation replacement, odor remediation, and full attic restoration. Our technicians safely remove contaminated materials while restoring the attic to a clean, healthy condition using OSHA-compliant procedures and EPA-approved disinfectants.
Many attic restoration projects also include sanitizing structural framing, sealing contamination sources, deodorization, and recommendations for exclusion repairs to help reduce the likelihood of future infestations.
Contaminated attic insulation does far more than reduce energy efficiency. Rodent urine and droppings can become airborne as insulation ages or is disturbed, allowing contaminated dust particles to circulate through HVAC systems and living spaces.
Depending on the infestation, contamination may involve:
In severe cases, contamination may contribute to poor indoor air quality and increase exposure to diseases associated with rodent infestations, including hantavirus and other biological hazards. Professional removal and decontamination help eliminate these risks while restoring attic performance and improving overall indoor air quality.
Every attic restoration project begins with a comprehensive inspection to evaluate contamination levels, damaged insulation, structural concerns, and biological hazards. Because every property is different, our technicians develop a customized remediation plan based on the extent of contamination.
The restoration process may include removal of contaminated insulation, biohazard cleanup, HEPA vacuuming, structural disinfection, odor treatment, attic decontamination, insulation replacement, and final verification to ensure the attic has been safely restored. Throughout the project, technicians wear appropriate personal protective equipment and follow strict containment procedures to prevent cross-contamination within the home.
Our goal is not simply to remove damaged insulation, but to restore the attic to a cleaner, healthier, and more energy-efficient condition.
Rodent-contaminated attics may contain numerous hazards, including:
Professional remediation helps reduce exposure risks while safely removing contaminated materials.
Professional mold testing may be beneficial in a variety of situations, including:
Testing provides objective information that can help guide decision-making and determine whether additional investigation or remediation may be necessary.
Our technicians follow a structured remediation process designed specifically for contaminated attics.
After inspecting the attic, we establish containment, remove contaminated insulation and debris, disinfect structural components, perform odor treatment when necessary, and install new insulation if requested. Every project follows OSHA regulations and industry best practices to safely restore the attic while minimizing disruption to the rest of the property.

We understand these situations often involve emotional complexity. Our team operates with discretion, professionalism, and respect.
We coordinate with families, property managers, estate representatives, and agencies to guide the process from start to finish.
If insulation has been contaminated by rodent droppings, urine, nesting materials, or moisture, replacement is often recommended to eliminate health risks and restore energy efficiency.
Yes. Rodent droppings and urine may contain bacteria, viruses, and allergens that can become airborne when disturbed. Professional cleanup helps reduce these health risks.
Yes. We can remove contaminated insulation, decontaminate the attic, and install new insulation as part of a complete attic restoration project.
Most projects can be completed in one to several days depending on the size of the attic, the extent of contamination, and whether insulation replacement is required.
Many attic contamination and restoration projects may qualify for insurance coverage depending on the cause of the damage. We can provide documentation to assist during the claims process.
They made a very difficult situation much easier to deal with. Kimberly and her team were very communicative, informative, and flexible with us. Pricing was transparent and fair, much better than other companies who bid the work. Would absolutely call them again.
Spencer GlasgowAmazing, quite thorough in their work. We called them to cleanup rodent droppings. Left the garage very clean and prestige. Very professional. They cleaned the inside of all the garage cabinets. Every step was explained and photographed and shared with us. Look no further.
Minal DaveFrom the start, 911hazardcleanup was professional and thorough. The clean up team did an amazing job in what was a hoarder house situation. They went above and beyond to insure that the living situation was brought back to safe and sanitary conditions. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Gary LitkeThe 911 crew, from Kimberly and Sean to the clean-up crew, led by Alejandro, were professional and thorough. Kimberly kept me up-to-date regarding scheduling and necessary documents. The clean-up crew was very thorough and even had time to add another small section of flooring. I highly recommend 911 Hazmat Clean-up for any task!
Karen ZDependable. Professional. And thorough. I know when they’re on the job it’s going to be done right.
Robert AsherVery nice people to work with!
Jesse JStop your search right here! You do not need to go any further. 911 Hazmat Cleaners will take care of you for a very reasonable price in a very difficult situation. I had an unattended death and level 4 hoarder clean up. I was overwhelmed! 911 Hazmat Cleaners was $7,000 cheaper than the other bids. They were perfect in everyway. You couldn’t believe the before and after photos. And the smell afterwards was amazing! They also bought lunch for my husband and me everyday we were there with them. Just mention to the other companies that you are going to talk to 911 Hazmat and watch their faces fall because they know. We were so happy we tipped the guys a hundred dollars each. You will be happy too if you have to use them!
Deborah ChaseEveryone with whom I worked with at 911 Hazmat was above expectations in satisfaction for the client, consideration for the neighbors, efficiency in their work, positive and supportive throughout the 18 days to complete the cleanup, trustworthy, and so thoughtful to me while I was grieving for my sister and dealing with a toxic cleanup. The documentation of work they did every day with pictures and amounts of trash dumped was especially helpful since I could not physically be onsite once worked started on the property. They give an estimate and stick with it. This company is the BEST.
Kathie CongdonThis company was terrific to work with. They got on the job immediately and did an outstanding job and stayed with it until completion.
