This page is for homeowners who already have Knauf insulation in their walls or attic and need service: top-ups, removal after moisture damage, dense-pack wall work, or correcting a previous install that skipped air sealing. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Knauf. We are an independent Knauf service provider with no proprietary product lock-in, and we also work with Reflectix and other brands when the job calls for it.

How Knauf Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Knauf Jet Stream Ultra settling in Tustin attics. This high-velocity blown fiberglass is common in post-2015 builds around Tustin Legacy, but installers often blow it over unsealed top plates. The R-value on the bag means nothing if conditioned air is moving through the gap around that recessed can. We remove the settled layer, seal every penetration with fire-rated caulk and rigid foam, then reblow to a measured depth.
• Knauf Insulation EcoFill WX cellulose clumping after roof leaks. Tustin’s Santa Ana wind-driven rain finds lifted flashing fast. EcoFill WX wicks moisture, then mats into dense clumps that trap humidity against drywall. We spot-remove the affected bays, dry the cavity with forced air, treat for mold if the moisture reading justifies it, and reinstall fresh cellulose to the original R-value spec.
• Knauf Momentum dense-pack sagging in balloon-framed walls. Older homes near Old Town Tustin have no top plates; Momentum blown at low density drops in the cavity over 18-24 months, creating cold stripes on interior walls. We drill, verify density with a touch-test probe (proper dense-pack resists a firm poke), and reblow at 3.5 pounds per cubic foot using a higher-pressure rig.
• Knauf blown fiberglass over recessed cans without IC-rated covers. We’ve found this in half a dozen Tustin Ranch homes from the 2018-2021 build wave. Standard Jet Stream blown directly against non-IC cans creates a fire hazard and voids the electrical warranty. We install Tenmat or similar fire-rated covers, seal the penetration, then insulate.
• Knauf product mixed with incompatible batts during DIY or handyman top-ups. Homeowners layer Knauf blown fiberglass over compressed rockwool or vice versa; the interface traps air and reduces effective R-value by 15-20 percent. We pull the mixed material, document the cavity condition with photos, and install a single, uniform Knauf system to spec.

Our Knauf Blown-In Insulation Process

1. 1
   Call and scope. A live person answers 24/7. We schedule a site visit, not a phone estimate. Under Haven Standard: Arrive on schedule, you get a named technician and a text when they are on the way.
2. 2
   Blower-door test and thermal scan. We pressurize the house to 50 pascals and record CFM50 baseline. The thermal camera shows where Knauf insulation has failed, settled, or was never properly installed.
3. 3
   Written price before any work starts. Flat price, written scope, written warranty. No exceptions. Haven Standard Clause 1.
4. 4
   Air sealing first, then insulation. Top plates, can lights, plumbing stacks, chimney chases - every penetration sealed with appropriate material. Then we blow Knauf product to measured depth and density.
5. 5
   Post-test and documentation. Second blower-door reading, thermal images, R-value report, and Documented Photo Record delivered before we leave. Most Tustin jobs show 30-50 percent leakage reduction.
6. 6
   Cleanup and 365-Day Done Right Promise. We vacuum every footprint. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Written warranty in hand.

What Knauf Blown-In Insulation Costs in Tustin

Most Knauf blown-in insulation jobs in a Tustin home this size run between these ranges:

• Attic top-up (existing Knauf, no removal): $1,800-$2,800
• Attic removal and replacement with Knauf Jet Stream Ultra: $3,200-$5,500
• Knauf EcoFill WX cellulose, full attic: $2,400-$4,200
• Dense-pack wall insulation with Knauf Momentum: $2.80-$4.20 per square foot of wall
• Spot repair after moisture damage (per bay): $280-$450

What moves the price: attic square footage, whether we remove old material, accessibility (Tustin’s steep-pitched Spanish tile roofs add labor), and how much air sealing the top plates and penetrations need. We do not upsell air sealing; we simply do not insulate over unsealed leaks.
