This page is for Redwood City homeowners who have Demilec spray foam or injection foam in their attic and need it cleaned, sanitized, or sealed against rodents. We’re an independent Demilec service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized shop. That means we call problems as we see them, and we fix them without waiting on a brand rep to approve reality.

How Demilec Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Heatlok HFO rodent tunneling. Demilec’s Heatlok HFO is a closed-cell foam that cures hard, but rats and mice still chew through it, especially where it meets roof decking. In Redwood City we see this most in older homes near the El Camino corridor where roof rats are persistent. The foam gets tunneled into, shredded, and mixed with droppings. Our fix: remove the compromised foam sections, sanitize, then install physical exclusion before any re-foam. Foam alone never stops a determined rat.
• Sealection 500 open-cell moisture trapping. Demilec’s Sealection 500 is open-cell, which means it breathes. In Redwood City’s damp winter months, humid attic air condenses inside open-cell foam that wasn’t properly ventilated. Rodents are drawn to that moisture, and the foam becomes a urine-soaked sponge. We pull the saturated material, correct the ventilation, sanitize the decking, and rebuild the insulation plane so it actually dries out.
• Heatlok Soya odor absorption. The soy-based Demilec lines (Heatlok Soya and part of the Sealection family) hold odor more stubbornly than petrochemical foams. Once rodents nest in it, the smell lingers even after removal. We treat the underlying framing with an enzyme-based decontaminant and, in severe cases, apply a vapor-barrier primer before any new insulation goes in. Skipping this step leaves a house that smells like rodents every warm afternoon.
• Demilec foam shrinkage at roof transitions. Over time we see some Demilec closed-cell formulations pull back from roof sheathing corners, opening pencil-width gaps that become mouse highways. This is a known issue in attics where the foam was applied during cold weather. We locate and seal every gap with compatible air-seal products, then verify with a blower-door test before declaring the job done.
• Improperly cured low-GWP foams. Demilec’s newer low-GWP closed-cell products are more sensitive to application temperature than older lines. When applied outside the temp window, the foam cures soft and crumbly. Rodents shred it like newspaper. We see this in Redwood City attics that were sprayed during shoulder-season nights. Our fix is full removal of the bad foam, substrate prep, and a proper re-application with the right product for the conditions.

Our Demilec Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Process

1. 1
   Call and talk to a person. You reach our team at (650) 204-8447, day or night. We ask about the attic size, the age of the Demilec product, and what you’re seeing or hearing. We schedule a walkthrough, often same-week.
2. 2
   Attic inspection and foam assessment. We map every square foot: the Demilec product type, its condition, moisture levels, rodent entry points, droppings, nesting, and any chewed wiring. Neil Ashford has been diagnosing these attics since 2011 and looks for the hidden gaps first.
3. 3
   Cleanout and sanitization. We remove all contaminated Demilec foam, droppings, nesting, and debris. We HEPA-vac the cavity and apply an enzyme decontaminant to kill odor and bacteria at the source, not just mask it.
4. 4
   Exclusion and proofing. We seal every entry point with steel mesh, flashing, and pest-grade sealants. If the Demilec foam is damaged, we cut back to clean material and prep for repair or re-application. We only use OEM-grade Demilec-compatible repair materials, never mismatched foams that fail adhesion.
5. 5
   Restoration and verification. We re-insulate with the right product for the space, check ventilation, and verify air sealing. Then we walk you through what we did and what to watch for.
6. 6
   The 90-Day Done Right Promise. If anything about the work isn’t right, we make it right. Written commitment, no fine print. Most jobs are completed in a single visit.

What Demilec Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in Redwood City

Here’s what we typically quote for Demilec-specific work in Redwood City:

• Basic attic cleanout, sanitization, and minor exclusion (under 1,200 sq ft): $1,200-$1,800
• Full Demilec foam removal, deep sanitization, and complete exclusion (1,200-2,000 sq ft): $2,200-$3,400
• Severe rodent damage with foam replacement and re-insulation: $3,500-$6,000+
• Standalone exclusion-only work on a clean attic: $800-$1,500

What moves the price: attic size, how much Demilec foam must be removed, whether wiring was chewed, and accessibility. Homes near Redwood Creek and Stulsaft Park tend to see more aggressive rat pressure, which sometimes means more exclusion points. We give upfront pricing before any work starts.
