Demilec Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing in Newport Beach: What to Know First

We provide independent Demilec attic cleaning and rodent proofing in Newport Beach, typically completing most jobs same-day or next-day with a written price before any work starts. Most Demilec attic restoration jobs in this market run between $1,800 and $4,200 depending on contamination level and whether the spray foam needs partial removal. As an independent Demilec service provider, we carry OEM and quality aftermarket parts for every Demilec series we’ve encountered in Orange County, and we publish before-and-after documentation on every job.

How Demilec Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Demilec SEALECTION 500 and Heatlok HFO Pro - rodent tunneling through open-cell foam. These open-cell lines, common in Corona del Mar and Newport Coast builds from 2018-2022, create accessible cavities once rodents establish scent trails. The foam itself doesn’t fail chemically; the failure is mechanical displacement as rats compress and tunnel. We remove contaminated sections, treat the substrate with enzyme decontaminant, and reinstall with closed-cell Demilec Heatlok XT or a hybrid system depending on the roof deck clearance.
• Demilec Heatlok XT - delamination from roof decking in coastal humidity. Newport Beach’s marine layer pushes attic humidity above 70% RH for weeks each spring. When rodents add urine saturation to this environment, Heatlok XT can pull away from the sheathing at the interface. We scrape the failed bond, apply a vapor-smart primer, and re-foam only after verifying the deck moisture content reads below 19% with a pin meter.
• Demilec Sealection Agribalance - organic oil content attracting rodents post-contamination. The castor-oil derivative in this agricultural-grade foam retains food-grade volatiles after rodent infestation that standard cleaning won’t neutralize. We’ve found partial removal is necessary; spot-treating leaves recurring activity in Lido Isle homes where we’ve traced callbacks to this exact issue.
• Demilec Heatlok HFO High Lift - overspray bridging into soffit vents, creating rodent highways. High-lift formulations save labor but can encroach on ventilation pathways in the tight eaves common to Balboa Peninsula cottages. Rodents follow these bridges from exterior entry points deep into conditioned space. We cut back the bridge, install metal flashing barriers, and re-foam with controlled-pass technique.
• Demilec closed-cell at rim joists - rodent gnaw-through at foam-wood interface. Mice don’t eat closed-cell foam, but they will gnaw the exposed wood edge where the foam terminates, using the rigid foam as a backstop. In Newport Beach’s older Pier-area homes with balloon framing, this creates vertical runways. We extend the foam termination into a recessed pocket or add 26-gauge metal exclusion collars.

Our Demilec Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Process

1. 1
   Written price and scope before entry. Haven Standard Clause 1: flat price, written scope, written warranty before anyone lifts a tool. No exceptions.
2. 2
   Blower-door test and thermal imaging. We pressurize the house to measure envelope leakage, then use FLIR to locate where rodents have compromised the Demilec air barrier. This gives us a baseline number and shows you exactly where the failure points are.
3. 3
   Contamination assessment and foam testing. We sample the Demilec for moisture content, density, and bond integrity. Not all contaminated foam needs removal; some can be HEPA-vacuumed, enzyme-treated, and left in place if the cell structure is intact.
4. 4
   Exclusion and re-sealing. Rodent proofing comes before any foam work. We seal entry points with copper mesh, concrete, or metal flashing as appropriate, then re-establish the Demilec air seal with OEM or spec-matched aftermarket foam.
5. 5
   Post-work blower-door and photo record. We run the pressurization test again and deliver the before-and-after CFM50 numbers, plus a Documented Photo Record of every stage. The 365-Day Done Right Promise attaches to the written scope.

Wes Okafor’s approach, shaped through the HVAC and Building Sciences program at Olive-Harvey College and over a decade of attic work from Balboa Peninsula to Corona del Mar hills, follows a simple sequence: seal the leaks first. Then insulate. The R-value on the bag means nothing if the air is moving freely around it.
