Debris · Droppings · Wet Insulation · Sanitizing
Master Attic clears out old construction scraps, insulation that has failed and anything a rodent left behind, working through Millville, New Jersey crawl spaces and the handful of basements in town, then sanitizing what remains, in structures old enough to predate the city's busiest glassmaking years and in construction finished well after.

Every other service on this page assumes a reasonably clear space to work in, and that is rarely the starting condition. Old insulation that has broken down into loose fiber, construction scraps left by a previous contractor, and whatever droppings or nesting material an animal left behind all have to come out, and the surfaces underneath get sanitized, before a vapor barrier, fresh insulation or any sealing work can start clean.
Crawl spaces far outnumber basements across Millville. Builders working the postwar boom generally chose a crawl space over a dug basement, since the ground near the Maurice River made a basement more prone to taking on water. The city's smaller stock of basements tends to sit on higher ground away from downtown, and it collects the same kind of debris and old material over the years just the same.
What has to come out varies property to property. Some crawl spaces just need years of leftover construction material swept out; others have seen enough rodent activity that the cleanup is the larger part of the job. The inspection sorts out which situation applies, and the estimate itemizes exactly what gets removed and sanitized before anyone puts a number on it.
Six jobs that tend to follow a Millville cleanup, each priced during that first inspection.
Four things we run into most often when called out to clean a Millville crawl space or basement.
Batt insulation that has absorbed moisture or come loose from its supports breaks down into loose fiber and debris on the crawl space floor over the years, and clearing that out is usually the first physical step in any Millville cleanup job.
Crawl spaces closer to the Maurice River and Union Lake hold onto dampness longer than the higher ground farther from downtown, and that moisture speeds up how fast debris, wood scraps and old insulation break down into something that has to be hauled out.
Squirrels, raccoons and mice pushing in from the wooded edge of Maurice River Township regularly end up denning inside an unsealed crawl space, and what they leave, droppings, urine, shredded nesting material, makes up a large share of what gets hauled out on a cleanup call.
The handful of Millville houses with a real basement instead of a crawl space tend to sit on the higher ground farther from the Maurice River, and they still collect the same debris and old insulation over time, just with more room to store it in.
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.
Construction debris, insulation that has failed, and anything left behind by animals all get pulled from the space, and the surfaces get sanitized afterward. What exactly needs to go depends on the property. Some Millville crawl spaces just need years of construction debris cleared, others need a full cleanup after rodent activity, and the inspection is what tells the two apart.
A crawl space with a modest amount of debris clears quickly. One with years of failed insulation and ongoing rodent activity takes longer, since sanitizing the space properly is part of the job rather than an afterthought. The specifics for your property get worked out at the inspection and carried into the estimate.
Cleanup on its own sits outside what rebate programs typically fund, though insulation installed right afterward sometimes qualifies. Atlantic City Electric serves Millville, and the NJ Clean Energy Program has, in past cycles, backed insulation and air sealing projects. If new insulation ends up part of your project, ask what currently applies during the free estimate.
Crawl spaces, by a wide margin. A high water table tied to the Maurice River made a dug basement more prone to flooding, so most of the postwar building here favored crawl spaces instead. The smaller number of basements in the city tend to sit on higher ground farther from downtown and still need the same kind of cleanup eventually.
We walk the space and separate what is simply old or in the way from what is actually contaminated, wet, moldy-smelling or carrying droppings. Older crawl spaces near downtown and Glasstown tend to have more of the moisture-related kind, while newer construction farther from the river more often just has ordinary construction leftovers.
Cleanup on its own does not seal anything. If the mess came from a rodent that is still finding its way in, we point that out during the inspection and scope rodent proofing alongside the cleanup, since clearing debris without closing the opening just means the same problem comes back.
Yes, across Cumberland County. Millville borders Lawrence Township, Maurice River Township, Deerfield Township and Commercial Township directly, and Vineland and Bridgeton round out the rest of our regular coverage. Crews are already in this part of South Jersey week to week.
It happens more often than most homeowners expect, particularly in older Millville crawl spaces near Glasstown that have gone a long time without an inspection. Removing them safely along with the droppings and nesting material nearby is a standard part of the cleanup, and sanitizing afterward addresses what is left behind, not just what is visible.
Free inspection and a written estimate, no obligation.
