This page is for Fullerton homeowners who own a home with Johns Manville blown-in insulation, whether it’s loose-fill fiberglass in the attic or dense-pack cellulose in the walls. We’ll cover what goes wrong, what it costs to fix, and why a locally owned crew that’s been at this since 2000 handles these jobs differently than a national chain.

How Johns Manville Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Johns Manville makes solid insulation. But after 25 years of crawling through Fullerton attics, we’ve seen every way it can underperform. Here’s what actually shows up in local homes:

• Climate Pro loose-fill fiberglass settling below code depth. In Fullerton ranch-style homes built before 1990, we regularly find Climate Pro that’s compacted down to 4 or 5 inches. The original install might have been fine, but years of heat cycling and occasional foot traffic in the attic compress it. Fiberglass loose-fill loses R-value as it settles. Our fix: remove the compromised material where needed, air-seal the attic floor, then blow fresh Johns Manville Climate Pro to R-38 or R-60, depending on your home’s layout.
• Spider Plus spray-applied fiberglass breaking down around can lights and vent penetrations. Spider Plus is an adhesive-bound blown fiberglass, and here’s the thing Johns Manville’s brochure won’t tell you: the adhesive resin can lose its grip over time, especially in Fullerton attics that hit 140 degrees in August. The material sags and pulls away from framing, leaving gaps. We’ve corrected many of these by sealing the penetrations and re-applying blown fiberglass in the affected bays. It’s a straightforward repair, but only if the technician recognizes what they’re looking at.
• Dense-pack cellulose in exterior walls holding moisture from failed stucco or window flashings. Fullerton’s older homes near the Arboretum have a real issue with irrigation overspray and stucco cracking. Water finds its way into wall cavities, and Johns Manville dense-pack cellulose wicks it like a sponge. The symptom: cold spots on walls, or worse, mold along baseboards. We don’t just blow in more cellulose. We find the water source first, then remove and replace the affected insulation. Skipping the water diagnosis means you’ll be back in the same spot in two years.
• Contractor-grade JM fiberglass installed without a vapor barrier in crawl-adjacent areas. Some Johns Manville products were never meant for certain applications, and we’ve seen “handyman specials” where the wrong product got used. Loose-fill fiberglass in unconditioned spaces absorbs humidity and loses thermal performance fast. We’ll identify it, recommend the right product for the location, and handle the replacement.
• Rodent contamination throughout blown-in JM fiberglass. Fullerton’s mature landscaping means roof rats are a fact of life in certain neighborhoods, especially near Craig Regional Park. Rats love blown fiberglass; it’s warm and easy to tunnel through. Once they’ve been in there, the insulation is soiled. We remove it, sanitize, rodent-proof the entry points, and re-insulate. It’s one of the messiest jobs we do, and also one of the most common in certain Fullerton zip codes.

Our Johns Manville Blown-In Insulation Process

Every Johns Manville job in Fullerton follows the same sequence, whether it’s a top-up or a full removal and replacement:

1. 1
   We talk first. You call (657) 216-9948, explain what you’re seeing, and we ask the right questions before we ever schedule. No script, no upsell.
2. 2
   On-site diagnostic. A background-checked, uniformed technician arrives, walks your attic or inspects your walls, and measures current depth, condition, and any moisture or pest issues.
3. 3
   Straightforward quote. We tell you exactly what’s needed, what it costs, and why. No vague line items. If you have another written estimate, bring it: we’ll give you a free second opinion on it.
4. 4
   The install. For blown-in jobs, we run hoses, set the machine outside, and control depth with rulers taped to attic framing. We air-seal before adding insulation when it’s called for. Every Fullerton job includes cleanup: no fiberglass dust left in your hallway.
5. 5
   Final walk-through. We show you what we did, what depth we hit, and confirm you’re satisfied before we leave.
6. 6
   Done Right Promise. Lifetime workmanship. If something’s not right, we come back. That’s the whole guarantee.
