Using the command Cases with IntervalMemberQ seems to be pretty quick:
intervallist = Table[Interval[{i, i + 1}], {i, 1, 20000, .25}];
number = 5.5;
Cases[intervallist, _?(IntervalMemberQ[#, number] &)] // Timing

I order and sum them and I give it to Reduce with the question Reduce[SumOfAllBlocks[x]==<number>,x]. The result gives me the overlapping intervals which overlap <number>. From the result I take out the length of the overlaps and Tally them. It is safe, but slow.
