Knowing when insulation removal is necessary is just as important as knowing when new insulation should be installed.

Why Remove Old Insulation?

Over time, attic insulation can become damaged or contaminated, leading to various issues. Removal is necessary for several reasons:

Water Damage

Moisture from a leaky roof can damage your attic insulation, leading to mold and mildew. Removing wet insulation is necessary to prevent health issues.

Smoke Damage

Smoke can permeate walls and trap odors in your attic insulation, making removal essential to eliminate these odors effectively.

Infestation

Rodents and insects can contaminate your attic insulation with allergens; removing and replacing the insulation is crucial for maintaining a healthy home environment.

Mould

Mould removal processes can cause spores to contaminate attic insulation, necessitating its removal to prevent further contamination.

Vermiculite-Asbestos Removal

Depending on when your home was built and insulated, you may have vermiculite-based insulation in your attic. Because vermiculite-based insulation may contain asbestos, it is absolutely essential that you do not attempt to remove it yourself.

Disturbing vermiculite insulation could cause cancer-causing asbestos fibers to release into the air, posing very serious health risks to your family.

At Insta-Insulation, we have the equipment and expertise necessary to perform proper vermiculite insulation removal without causing dangerous asbestos fibers to be released into the air of your home.

Structural Renovations & Electrical Work

Whether you’re adding cathedral ceilings, upgrading your home’s infrastructure, or re-doing electrical wiring, insulation removal may be necessary. Removing insulation allows safe and effective access to key areas during structural or electrical work. After completing the upgrades, new insulation can be installed to restore and enhance your home’s energy efficiency. This ensures your home remains comfortable and energy-efficient while accommodating the necessary improvements.
