Owens Corning Insulation Removal & Replacement in San Marcos: What to Know First

We provide independent Owens Corning insulation removal and replacement in San Marcos, with most jobs completed in one day and a written price delivered before any work starts. A typical attic removal and replacement for a 1,500-square-foot home runs between $2,800 and $4,200, though vermiculite or heavily contaminated jobs run higher. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Owens Corning - we are an independent service provider who sources materials from Owens Corning, Johns Manville, Knauf, Rockwool, and other manufacturers so you are never locked into a single product line.

How Owens Corning Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Owens Corning AttiCat blown-in fiberglass settles below labeled R-value in San Marcos attics. The loose-fill PINK Fiberglas Insulation (L77 and L38 series) loses 15 to 25 percent of its installed thickness over seven to ten years in our climate, where summer attic temperatures exceed 150°F and accelerate compression. We remove the settled material, air-seal the attic floor at top plates and can-light penetrations, then reinstall to true depth with a settled-density calculation - not the bag-count method some crews use.
• Owens Corning FOAMULAR rigid board degrades at the edges in crawl spaces with seasonal moisture swings. The XPS boards (pink, 150 and 250 series) absorb water at the cut edges when San Marcos spring humidity spikes and winter slab-edge condensation forms. We remove the degraded boards, assess the vapor barrier condition, and replace with either fresh FOAMULAR with sealed edges or switch to a moisture-tolerant alternative like Rockwool Comfortboard if the crawl space cannot be fully encapsulated.
• Owens Corning EcoTouch batts fail at the kraft-paper facing in rodent-affected attics near the Blanco River corridor. The paper vapor retarder becomes a food source and nesting substrate; we see this in older homes off CM Allen Parkway and in the Dunbar Historic District. We remove contaminated batts, sanitize the framing, rodent-proof with steel mesh at entry points, and replace with unfaced batts or blown-in fiberglass - never reinstalling paper-faced product in a previously infested space.
• Owens Corning ProCat loose-fill clogs around recessed can lights that were never properly sealed. The fine-glass strands pack against hot fixtures, creating voids and a potential ignition path in pre-2010 installs. We extract the packed material, install fire-rated covers or Tenmat enclosures over the cans, seal with fire-stop caulk, then redistribute insulation evenly.
• Owens Corning QuietZone acoustic batts in cathedral ceilings compress from foot traffic during HVAC service. These batts are not designed for walk-on applications, yet San Marcos homes with package units in the attic routinely see them trampled flat. We remove the compressed sections, install catwalk decking over the new insulation, and replace with higher-density batts or a loose-fill system that tolerates occasional access.

Our Owens Corning Insulation Removal & Replacement Process

1. 1
   Site visit and blower-door test. We pressurize the house to measure CFM50 - the cubic feet per minute of air leakage at 50 pascals of pressure - so we have a baseline number before touching anything.
2. 2
   Written price and scope. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, you get a flat price, written scope, and written warranty before anyone lifts a tool. No exceptions.
3. 3
   Containment and removal. We isolate the work zone with poly sheeting, run negative air if contamination is present, and remove the failed Owens Corning product to bag or truck without dragging it through living spaces.
4. 4
   Air sealing before insulation. We seal top plates, wire and pipe penetrations, can lights, and chimney chases. The R-value tells you how slow heat moves through the material - the blower-door number tells you whether any of that matters.
5. 5
   Replacement and verification. We install the replacement insulation to manufacturer’s specified depth or density, then run a second blower-door test. You receive a single printed page showing before and after air-changes-per-hour so the improvement is a number, not a claim.
6. 6
   Documented Photo Record and cleanup. Every job closes with photos of the completed work, the blower-door readings, and a walk-through. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies from that moment.
