This page is for homeowners in Pomona who already have Knauf insulation products in their attic and are tired of paying to heat and cool air that leaks straight through the ceiling. If you own a Knauf-insulated home and your upstairs rooms run hot in August, you’re probably losing conditioned air through gaps the insulation was never designed to close.

How Knauf Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Knauf EcoBatt around can lights: In Pomona homes built in the 80s and 90s, EcoBatt batts were often tucked around recessed can housings without a sealed barrier. The batts hold their R-value, but air pours around the can’s edge. We pull the batt, seal the can with fire-rated foam or a proper cover, and reset the batt clean.
• Knauf Jet Stream loose-fill settling at top plates: Jet Stream blown fiberglass settles up to 2-3 inches in the first decade, especially in Pomona attics that hit 130°F in summer. That settling exposes the top plates where wall and ceiling meet, and those joints leak. We seal the joint then top-dress the settled areas.
• Knauf R-30/R-38 batts over unsealed duct boots: Batts rest on drywall above duct boots and nobody sees the half-inch gap around the boot where attic air gets pulled into the living space. We remove the batt, seal the boot with mastic-backed tape or foam, and reinstall the batt with no compression.
• Knauf vapor-retarder kraft facing misapplied: We see EcoBatt kraft-facing stapled to the inside edge of the top plate or left facing the wrong direction, which traps moisture in Pomona’s winter season. We correct the facing orientation or remove it where it creates a condensation point, then air-seal the plate.
• Knauf attic hatch perimeter gaps: Any Knauf product works fine when the hatch itself leaks. Builders often skip weatherstripping entirely. We seal the hatch perimeter with adhesive-backed gasket, add a foam board lid, and the whole assembly stops acting like an open chimney into the attic.

Our Knauf Attic Air Sealing Process

1. 1
   Call and assessment: You call (626) 341-0830, a live person answers, and we schedule a walkthrough. We look at your attic, your Knauf product type, and your ceiling fixtures before touching anything.
2. 2
   Blower door or thermal check: We use a blower door and infrared camera to find exactly where air is moving. This shows us the leaks, not guesses.
3. 3
   Seal decision: We decide what gets sealed and with what. For Knauf EcoBatt and Jet Stream, we recommend fire-rated foam, mastic, or gaskets depending on the joint. No spray-and-pray.
4. 4
   The sealing work: We seal top plates, can lights, duct boots, plumbing and electrical penetrations, and the attic hatch. Knauf insulation stays in place or gets temporarily lifted and reset.
5. 5
   Post-seal test: We re-run the blower door to show you the leakage reduction on the spot. If you want, we write the before and after numbers on your invoice.
6. 6
   Cleanup and guarantee: We leave the attic cleaner than we found it. Every Knauf air sealing job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right.

Why Pomona Homeowners Call Warmline Insulation Co. for Knauf Work

We’ve worked in Pomona attics since 2011. Neil Ashford, our owner, trained in building science and weatherization at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending nearly two decades dialing in what Southern California homes actually need. We’ve done attic air sealing in older bungalows near Ganesha Park where the Knauf insulation was installed during the Carter years and not touched since. We know those attics, and we know Pomona heat.

When we recommend a Knauf repair versus a replacement, that recommendation comes from what’s best for your home, not our margin. Every job is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise, and our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. We also service a handful of other insulation brands, including Reflectix, which helps when older homes have mixed materials and need one team to handle it all.
