Cornwells Heights and Eddington are lined with ranch and Cape Cod houses raised through the 1950s and 60s, most sitting on whatever batts went in at construction. Closer to Route 1 in Trevose and Andalusia, split-levels and colonials followed through the 1970s with similarly shallow fiberglass. Either era, most attics we open here fall well short of the energy code guidance now written for southeast Pennsylvania.

Squirrels chew wiring and tear up insulation once they get into an attic. We remove them and close the entry points.
Squirrel Removal →A raccoon can wreck attic insulation and ductwork in weeks and leave dangerous droppings behind. Safe removal plus repair of the damage.
Raccoon Removal →Bats roost in quiet attic corners and their droppings contaminate everything below. Humane exclusion plus full cleanup.
Bat Removal →Mice squeeze in through gaps the width of a pencil, nest in the insulation and leave droppings across the attic floor. Removal, then sealing the gaps so they stay out.
Attic Mice Removal →Wildlife tears openings where the roof meets the walls, and every gap is an open door. We seal the entry points and repair the damage.
Rodent Proofing →Thin, patchy insulation lets heated and cooled air escape into the attic all year. Upgrading it cuts energy bills.
Attic Insulation →Moisture in the crawl space feeds mold and rots the framing under your floor. Encapsulation seals out the damp ground air.
Crawl Space Encapsulation →New batts fill every joist bay edge to edge, so heated and cooled air stays in the rooms below instead of bleeding into the attic. Lower bills, even temperatures.
Attic Insulation →A vented ridge lets hot, moist air escape at the peak while baffles keep the soffit intake open. Balanced airflow protects the roof deck and keeps the new insulation dry.
Attic Ventilation →The roofline gap the wildlife used is sealed with rodent-proof mesh and sealant, along with every other opening we found. Nothing gets back in.
Rodent Proofing →Droppings, nesting debris and the contaminated insulation are gone, and the framing is treated so odors and bacteria do not linger in the air you breathe.
Attic Cleanup →A sealed vapor barrier covers the ground and walls, so damp soil air can no longer feed mold or rot the floor framing above it.

What changed
Bensalem grew fast after World War Two, when farmland along the Delaware turned into the ranches and Cape Cods of Cornwells Heights and Eddington, then kept building through the 1970s with split-levels, twins and the apartment and townhouse stock that now houses a large share of Bucks County's most populous township.
Ranches and Capes from the 1950s and split-levels from the 1970s both left Bensalem attics thinner than what southeast Pennsylvania's current guidance expects.
The Neshaminy Creek and Delaware River sit at Bensalem's eastern and southern edges, keeping the water table high enough that crawl spaces near Andalusia and Cornwells Heights stay damp most of the year.
Mature trees along the Neshaminy and Delaware give squirrels and raccoons a way onto older rooflines in Andalusia and Cornwells Heights, and the township's apartment buildings add shared roof lines of their own.
Bucks County winters hover near freezing and swing back above it for weeks at a time, and every warm-air leak through a Bensalem ceiling turns straight into ice at the eaves.

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.

Philadelphia CountyBucks CountyMontgomery CountyDelaware CountyChester CountyBerks CountyNorthampton CountyBensalemBucks County's attic guidance calls for a good deal more insulation than most Bensalem attics were originally given, and the exact amount a specific attic actually needs comes down to what the inspection finds already up there. Ranches and Capes from the 1950s in Cornwells Heights and Eddington, and the split-levels that followed through the 1970s, both tend to sit well under that guidance on their original batts.
In most of Bensalem, yes. The water table stays close to the surface near both waterways, and a vented crawl space or an unfinished basement in the older ranch and split-level sections draws that dampness in year-round. Sealing the ground and walls under a heavy vapor barrier starves that cycle, and the floor framing above finally stays dry.
A single-story rancher or Cape Cod in Cornwells Heights or Eddington is usually the most straightforward project on the schedule. Split-level attics take more time because access is tighter, and a townhouse or apartment building often needs scheduling worked out unit by unit. Crawl space encapsulation takes longer still whenever old insulation needs to be cleared out first, and the exact schedule gets set once the inspection shows what's involved.
It does. Pennsylvania Home Improvement Contractor license 147980 covers every Bensalem project, from sealing a single attic gap to encapsulating a full crawl space, and the company is licensed in New Jersey and Delaware as well, all with full insurance behind it.
Noise usually comes first, scratching or thumping around dawn and dusk, followed by droppings along the joists and chewed wiring; a sharp ammonia smell near a roofline gap tends to mean bats rather than squirrels. The tree cover along the Neshaminy Creek and Delaware River puts wildlife onto older rooflines in Andalusia and Cornwells Heights, and apartment or townhouse buildings can carry the same problem through a shared attic space.
It can make a real difference. PECO is the electric utility across Bensalem, and a leaky, under-insulated attic is one of the biggest reasons a heating or cooling system runs longer than it should. Sealing the air leaks at the top plates and chases before adding insulation is what keeps a second floor from swinging in temperature and pulling more power to compensate.
All of Bucks County, including Croydon, Bristol Township, Feasterville-Trevose and Langhorne, plus Yardley and the rest of eastern Pennsylvania. Bensalem also sits directly against Northeast Philadelphia, and our crews cover that stretch of the Philadelphia suburbs regularly.
Both. Bensalem carries a larger share of apartment and townhouse housing than most of the towns we serve, and those buildings need the same attention as a single-family ranch or colonial, sometimes with several units sharing one attic or roofline. We inspect and quote each building on its own, since shared attic space changes how insulation and rodent exclusion get done.
Insulation is not just for winter. Here is how the right insulation level keeps summer heat out of your rooms and your cooling bills in check.
