How Owens Corning Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
After 15 years pulling Owens Corning out of Inglewood attics, we know exactly how it fails here. The coastal marine layer and summer heat cycles create failure patterns you won’t see in a manufacturer brochure:
- Pink fiberglass batts with kraft facing (R-19 and R-30): The kraft paper facing traps moisture against the drywall below. In Inglewood’s humid mornings, that facing delaminates and sags, pulling the batt away from the ceiling joists and creating thermal bypass channels. We remove the failed batts, haul the debris, and replace with unfaced Owens Corning or Rockwool batts installed to the correct depth for the cavity.
- Atticat blown-in fiberglass: Owens Corning’s Atticat is a solid product, but we routinely find it installed at half the bag count the manufacturer specifies. In Inglewood, the difference between R-19 installed and R-38 spec is roughly $40 a month on summer cooling. We vacuum out the sparse fill, air seal the attic floor, and blow Atticat back at true depth with baffles in place.
- Compressed batts under roof decking: When an Inglewood homeowner finishes an attic or adds storage, Owens Corning batts get crushed under plywood. Fiberglass only insulates when it’s lofted. Compressed R-30 performs closer to R-8. We remove the decking, replace the batts, and advise on raised storage platforms if you still need the space.
- Pest-contaminated insulation: Rats and squirrels love Owens Corning’s pink fiberglass for nesting, especially in older Inglewood neighborhoods near Morningside Park where mature trees give rodents roof access. We remove the contaminated material, sanitize the attic deck, seal entry points, and install fresh insulation. This is the fix most generalists skip.
- Vermiculite-era attics with later Owens Corning layering: Some Inglewood homes built before 1980 still have vermiculite under a later Owens Corning batt or blown-in layer. We test suspect material before touching anything. If asbestos is present, we coordinate with a licensed abatement partner before proceeding with replacement.
Our Owens Corning Insulation Removal & Replacement Process
Here’s how a typical Owens Corning removal and replacement job runs from your first call to the final walkthrough:
- 1
You call (424) 622-5846. A live person answers, asks about square footage, insulation type, and the problem you’re seeing. We’ll give you a ballpark range over the phone and schedule a site visit.
- 2
We inspect the attic. Our technicians measure existing depth, check for moisture, pest activity, and air leaks. We document everything with photos so you see exactly what we see.
- 3
You get an upfront price. No vague estimates. We tell you what removal costs, what replacement costs, and what your final bill will be before we start. The $50 Off Any Repair Over $250 and 5% Senior & Veteran discounts apply automatically.
- 4
Removal day. We run commercial HEPA-filtered vacuums for blown-in, or bag and haul batts by hand. Drop cloths protect your floors, and we keep the home sealed off from attic dust.
- 5
Air sealing and prep. Before new insulation goes in, we seal top plates, wire penetrations, and can lights. This is the step that separates a real fix from a re-fluff.
- 6
Replacement and cleanup. We install fresh Owens Corning Atticat blown-in or new batts to spec, restore attic access, and leave the space cleaner than we found it. Most jobs are done in one visit.
Every job is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right. No fine print.

FAQs
No. Owens Corning’s warranty covers material defects, not installation or removal. As an independent Owens Corning service provider, we remove and replace insulation safely without affecting any remaining warranty on new material you have installed. If you’re concerned about a specific product, call us and we’ll walk you through what’s covered before we start.
Yes, and we usually do. A standard 1,200-square-foot attic with Owens Corning batts or Atticat blown-in is a one-day job for our crew. Larger homes or attics with pest contamination or vermiculite testing will take longer, and we’ll tell you that upfront. Call (424) 622-5846 to lock in a day.
Sometimes adding more is cheaper short-term, but if the existing material is compacted, pest-contaminated, or blocking air leaks, you’re paying twice. We inspect first and only recommend removal when the math makes sense. The inspection is free, and a live person answers when you call.
We stop and test before any removal. Vermiculite from before the 1980s can contain asbestos, and disturbing it without knowing is dangerous. If a test comes back positive, we bring in a licensed abatement partner and coordinate the whole sequence, so you never have to manage multiple contractors.
Yes. You get $50 off any repair over $250, our $89 Seasonal Tune-Up applies to a basic attic inspection and air-seal touch-up, and seniors and veterans save 5% permanently. We’ll apply every discount you qualify for without you having to ask.
