A crawl space or basement that has gone years without attention tends to collect the same things in Freehold: old insulation that has fallen or gone damp, debris left behind by a previous owner or contractor, and whatever a rodent problem left on its way through. Cleanup means clearing all of it out and sanitizing what is left, not just sweeping the floor.
What the space needs depends on what caused the mess. A damp township crawl space usually points to ground moisture that needs addressing separately, while an older borough basement with black spotting on the framing or a musty smell is often more about ventilation and past leaks than anything structural. We identify the cause during the same inspection, not just the symptoms.
There is no cost for the visit, and the written quote covers whatever the space needs after the cleanup, whether that is new insulation, a vapor barrier, or simply being left clean and dry with the conditions that caused the mess addressed. A Freehold basement and a Freehold crawl space rarely need the identical fix, so we treat each one on its own.
The insulation and exclusion work that usually follows a Freehold crawl space or basement cleanup, starting from the same free inspection.
The four conditions behind most cleanup calls we get in Freehold, NJ.
Freehold Township's ranches and colonials mostly sit over crawl spaces, while some of the borough's older properties have basements with masonry walls, and each collects debris and moisture differently, which is why a cleanup starts with figuring out which kind of space is actually being dealt with.
A musty smell drifting up into the rooms above a Freehold crawl space or basement is nearly always ground moisture or standing water working its way upward, not something an air freshener or better housekeeping on the main floor is going to solve.
Dead rodents, nesting material packed into old insulation and gnawed wiring are common finds in a Freehold cleanup, and beyond the mess, that kind of contamination is exactly why sanitizing the space is part of the job, not an optional extra.
Old ductwork, scrap material left by a previous contractor and years of accumulated dust and dirt are common in crawl spaces and basements that nobody checks regularly, and clearing all of it out is usually the first step before any moisture or insulation work can be evaluated properly.
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.
We clear out debris, old insulation, dead rodents and anything else that has accumulated, then sanitize the framing and subfloor underneath so the space is safe to close back up, whether that means new insulation, a vapor barrier, or simply staying clean and dry from there.
Both, when the insulation needs it. Debris, old material and any rodent damage get cleared out together, since batts that have absorbed moisture or gone moldy in a contaminated space usually cannot just stay put once everything else around them is removed.
The cleanup itself typically falls outside what Clean Energy Program incentives target, but the insulation work that often follows one has fallen under state and JCP&L offerings in the past. Mention it when the crew is out for the estimate and they can tell you what is on offer.
Yes. Some older sections of Freehold Borough have basements rather than crawl spaces, and they collect the same kind of debris, moisture damage and rodent activity. We handle both, using the same inspection and the same crew regardless of which one a particular house has.
Musty odors, black spotting on the framing, insulation that has fallen or gone soggy, dead rodents, droppings, or scratching sounds are the usual signs. Township crawl spaces and older borough foundations both show these for different reasons, ground moisture in one case, aging construction in the other, but the fix starts with the same inspection.
The volume of debris and whether moisture or rodent activity is involved are the main drivers. A light cleanup moves faster than one where old insulation, standing water or a rodent problem all need addressing. The schedule for your property is part of the written estimate, worked out after the inspection.
The rest of Monmouth County, including Manalapan, Colts Neck, Millstone Township, Marlboro and Howell around Freehold, and Jackson over the line in Ocean County. Cleaning out crawl spaces and basements across this stretch of the state keeps our crews busy most weeks.
Free inspection and a written estimate, no obligation.
