Debris, old insulation and rodent evidence build up fast in a crawl space or basement that nobody has checked on in years. Wet material fallen from the joists, droppings and nesting left by squirrels, raccoons or mice, and whatever got stored down there and forgotten all pile up together, and even one of those on its own is often enough to make the air upstairs smell musty.
Cleanup means clearing all of it out, not tidying around the edges. Fallen or contaminated insulation gets pulled, droppings and nesting material get removed, and everything gets sanitized before the space is called finished. In Englewood's older downtown foundations that step often turns up decades of accumulated material, while a newer Liberty Road basement or crawl space usually has less to clear but still benefits from the same sanitizing pass.
A clean crawl space or basement is also the starting point for whatever comes next. Sealing a vapor barrier down or putting new insulation over debris and old contamination only hides what is still underneath, so cleanup is the step that has to happen first. What a particular space needs is what the free inspection is for, and the estimate is written before any work begins.
Six services we often pair with clearing out an Englewood crawl space or basement, starting with a free inspection.
What usually drives the call for a crawl space or basement cleanup here.
A crawl space or basement that has been damp for a while sends that air straight up into the rooms above it, which is why a musty smell upstairs is so often traced back to whatever is building up below.
Once squirrels, raccoons or mice have been in a crawl space or basement, cleanup means clearing out everything they left, not just what is visible from the access door, before sanitizing the space.
Crawl spaces and basements under some of downtown Englewood's older foundations have gone unattended for generations, and what accumulates in that time, old insulation, scrap material, general storage, has to come out before the space is usable for anything else.
Encapsulation and new insulation both depend on starting from a clean, dry space, so cleanup is usually the first line item on an estimate that also covers a vapor barrier or replacement insulation.
Dry ground. Sealed walls. Cleaner air upstairs. Lower bills.

Master Attic did a phenomenal job with our attic insulation and duct replacement. We had a loss from smoke damage from a neighboring fire and we were met with compassion and excellent customer service from Danny Jones and Jorge Diaz. We chose them for their quality of work, expertise and fair pricing and they got the job done promptly. Thank you for the excellent work and we will be recommending you highly!
We just had our attic insulation replaced, and the entire experience was pleasant from start to finish. Robert is knowledgeable, honest and easy to work with at the initial estimate period. Roberta and his crew did a great job replacing the attic insulation for our house. They were very professional, efficient and respectful. They did everything that needed to be done and left the space clean and in excellent condition. I am very happy that I chose Master Attic and would highly recommend them.
Dan Jones and the Ronald crew did a great job from start to finish! I had original insulation in my attic with no electricity, not an easy job. Our upstairs was very hot in the summer and cold in winter. With having central air, we still needed AC units and space heaters to manage. Dan set up a great plan to eliminate that. He and his crew were able to come and finish the job shortly after we first met. They were quick, clean and managed to crawl into small spaces to remove old insulation and install fresh insulation. We have already noticed a major difference! Highly recommended!!
We hired Master Attic to clean out debris, mice, old insulation, and replace with new insulation in both our attic spaces. Roberto and his crew did a phenomenal job. They were extremely professional, polite, and did a fantastic job. They invited my husband to see the attic after each step, and took pictures on their phone to show me since I could not get up in the attic. They took the time to protect the space with plastic sheeting before the job up in the attic, and then cleaned up everything perfectly afterwards. I highly recommend them!
Great job by the team. Cleaned out the entire attic and replaced all the old insulation with new fresh insulation. Made a huge difference. Alex was great to work with and was very professional. Would highly recommend.
Awesome experience from start to finish. Rob provided a great assessment and capabilities overview, arrived on time and was very generous and thorough in explaining the work. I signed on the spot. A crew of six arrived (again, on time) and completely transformed our attic space - thoroughly cleaned out the old insulation (looked spotless afterwards), sanitized the space, sealed it/rodent proofed it, added baffles and of course, replaced the insulation and added more in areas that needed it. Completed the whole job in half a day and we are delighted with the result. Thank you, Master Attic team, for a job very well done! Highest recommendation.
What a great experience I had with this company and its employees. It started with initially interacting with Joe who came out for the estimate. He was funny because he came down from my attic and said "have you seen up there". I laughed because I had and I knew it was bad. He was no pressure and no nonsense. Gave me an estimate and said if I wanted we could have the work done next day. I wasn't ready for that but after some schedule juggling I told him we could be ready. Joe had his guys out next morning with the best part being Jorge calling me to advise he was about thirty minutes out. I appreciate when I am given a heads up as to ETA. Three of them arrived Jorge set out plastic and covered exposed furniture. Jorge, Angel and Gonzalo were all polite and worked hard to complete the task. They worked efficiently and were done quickly. Jorge made sure he included me in each step of the process and when I saw the finished product I was amazed. I can actually use my attic for storage if I choose to do so. I did not realize when they were here that they also do work on crawlspace areas. I will be calling them back to see what they can do for my crawlspace which easily rivals the diasaster called my attic. I recommend at least giving this company and its employees an opportunity to help you.
Great company to work with. From beginning to end, Dan came out, spent plenty of time with me going over everything that needed to be done, and the process of everything that needed to be updated it both attics. His professionalism was top notch, answered all my question and concerns. When it came time for George and his six-man crew to do the work their quality of workmanship was well above average, they were here the whole day, and I don't think they even had a lunch break (hopefully I don't get him in trouble). They all worked and everyone knew what their job was, they removed all the insulation, cleaned, spray foamed all holes and top plates, re-insulated both attics and cleaned up like they weren't even here. Will definitely use them again.
Master Attic remediated a bat issue for us back in October and I can’t say enough about what a wonderful job they did. The work was guaranteed and they encouraged us to call if we say any further evidence of bats. Well, there were a few droppings in the attic and they quickly responded to our concerns. Jose’s crew came out on a SUNDAY, inspected the attic, and sealed up several spots that could be entry points. They were professional, efficient, and kind. I would highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.
It covers removing fallen or contaminated insulation, debris left over from years of storage or neglect, and any droppings or nesting material left by squirrels, raccoons or mice, then sanitizing once the space is empty. The goal is a clean, dry crawl space or basement, not just a tidier one.
Two things set the pace: how much has piled up, and how large the space is. A basement with a manageable amount of debris clears faster than a crawl space where insulation has failed and rodents have been active for years. The specific timeframe for a job like that gets spelled out once the inspection is done.
PSE&G covers Englewood, and NJ Clean Energy Program funding has typically gone toward insulation and encapsulation rather than cleanup by itself. When cleanup is paired with either of those, we'll flag anything that currently applies during the estimate.
The basics are the same, clearing debris, contaminated insulation and rodent evidence, then sanitizing, but a basement is usually easier to access and often has finished or semi-finished sections that need extra care. A crawl space is tighter to work in and more likely to have moisture driving the mess in the first place.
The inspection separates what is salvageable from what has to go: dry, intact material can often stay, while anything wet, moldy, sagging or nested in comes out. Structural debris and old storage get cleared regardless, since they get in the way of whatever work comes after cleanup.
Yes, in most cases. Putting a vapor barrier or new insulation on top of debris, old contamination or damp framing does not solve anything, it just covers it up, so cleanup is typically the first step whenever encapsulation or new insulation is also on the table.
Cleanup calls take us through Leonia, Bergenfield, Tenafly, Teaneck and Englewood Cliffs regularly, and Cliffside Park a bit further south rounds out the list. Bergen County keeps our schedule full close to home, and old downtown foundations show up just as often in those towns as they do in Englewood.
Contaminated or damaged material is bagged and hauled away for disposal rather than left on site. Nothing gets swept into a corner of the crawl space or basement; the goal is an empty, sanitized space that is actually ready for whatever comes next.
Free inspection and a written estimate, no obligation.
