Proper insulation removal is fundamental to effectively insulate the home while maintaining a healthy indoor air quality. There are several reasons a homeowner may need to remove insulation
- Damaged/Wet/Contaminated Insulation: Water, roofing material, rodents, birds, molds, and other materials and pollutants often find their way into the attics of homes. These things nest in the layers of fiberglass insulation. Any one of these is a potential health risk to your family. Not only is it important to remove these contaminants from the home, it is equally important to remove these things from the home without further contaminating the living area. Ask one of our technicians to inspect your attic to see if service is necessary.
- Over-insulation: heavy layers of insulation in an attic restrict the airflow and ventilation of your home. This can lead to moisture problems on the upper floors, potentially leading to material damage, heat loss, and in some cases the development of molds and other household pollutants.
- Re-Insulating/Upgrading: Today's household insulation is far more effective than the insulation commonly used even 10 years ago. So, upgrading the insulation in your home can be a worthwhile investment in your home’s value and in reduction of your energy costs. When re-insulating a home, remember, it is necessary to remove the old insulation. Bagging and dragging old insulation through the living space of a house is NOT a safe method of removing insulation. This result in the release airborne fiberglass particles and any other contaminants that were in your attic. Likewise it is unsafe to simply add insulation over the old insulation. The old insulation will compromise the effectiveness of the new insulation and any contaminants, pests, or mold/moisture problems will persist. Having your old insulation removed by a professional is the best way to ensure that the material is handled safely, and your new insulation is most effective
