How Owens Corning Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
Owens Corning makes solid insulation, but nothing lasts forever in a Thousand Oaks attic. Here’s what we see on service calls across the Conejo Valley.
- Pink fiberglass batts compressing to half their rated R-value. The Owens Corning R-30 batts you may have in your attic lose loft after years of heat cycling between the Thousand Oaks summer sun and cool marine-layer nights. Compressed insulation insulates less, plain and simple. We blow Owens Corning AttiCat fiberglass over the top to restore the full R-value without tearing out the old batts.
- Settled blown in fiberglass from older installs. If a previous contractor blew in Owens Corning insulation below the recommended depth, it settles into low pockets that leave bare spots near the eaves. In Thousand Oaks ranch homes near the Conejo Valley Botanic Garden, we regularly find attics with 8 to 10 inches where code calls for 14. We top it off and level it out.
- Attic air leaks negating the insulation entirely. Owens Corning insulation only works if the attic is sealed. In homes off Lynn Road and Westlake Boulevard, we find recessed light housings, bathroom fan vents, and plumbing chases that let conditioned air pour into the attic. The insulation isn’t failing, the envelope is. We seal the bypasses before we blow in new insulation, because blowing fiberglass over a leak just hides it.
- Moisture damage from a poorly vented attic. Owens Corning fiberglass loses thermal performance when it gets damp, and Thousand Oaks’ marine layer can keep attics humid for weeks at a time in June and July. If your blown in insulation feels matted or your attic smells musty, the venting needs attention before new insulation goes in. We check soffit and ridge vents on every job before we blow a single bag.
- Pest activity in existing Owens Corning insulation. Rodents tunnel through fiberglass and leave droppings, but honestly, we see less of that in Thousand Oaks than in the Valley. What we do see more of is roof rat nesting near the foothills, especially in homes near Wildwood Park. We inspect for contamination and recommend removal in affected zones before blowing in fresh Owens Corning insulation, because you don’t want to trap that mess under a new layer.

Per current California code, a Thousand Oaks attic needs R-38 minimum, which is roughly 14 inches of Owens Corning AttiCat blown fiberglass. We don’t push R-49 unless you want it for comfort or energy goals, and we’ll show you the depth rulers in the attic afterward so you can verify it yourself.
Owens Corning AttiCat fiberglass is formaldehyde-free and non-corrosive, and it won’t settle below the installed depth once blown properly. The safety work that matters is on the attic side: we check venting, seal air leaks, and keep everything clear of heat-producing fixtures before, during, and after the install.
