Insulation Removal

There are three main reasons to have insulation removed from an attic or crawlspace:

1. Over-insulation
2. Damaged or contaminated insulation
3. Upgrading insulation

When rodents, water, or even time are introduced to your crawlspace or attic, the outcome often results in damage. When this happens, you may need elimination of the rodent or animal infestation. You may also need removal of insulation, vapor barrier, other materials and carcasses, odor control, sanitizing, ventilation, and an installation of new insulation and vapor barrier, or other materials. Sometimes it’s a home improvement project that warrants removing and replacing the insulation in an attic or crawlspace. Other times it is something as simple as old blown insulation trickling out of cracks around light fixtures and attic doors.

Attic Restoration and Decontamination Services (Insulation Removal Specialist)

We specialize in retrofit work insulation removal. Retrofit simply means that we remove old and add new insulation to existing structures. After 20 or 30 years in use, home insulation loses its effectiveness and becomes ridden with dust and dirt, provoking allergies and disrupting your home. Water leaks from hurricanes, busted water pipes, or leaking water heaters may require you to replace the damaged insulation and reinstall with new.

Professional insulation removal is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Our team has created a safe, effective method for removing dirty contaminated insulation from attics or crawlspaces.

Professional insulation removal is something that we take very seriously. Our technicians have developed a safe, effective procedure for removing soiled insulation from attics or crawlspaces. Using commercial insulation removal equipment, we are able to remove all of the insulation in an attic without any of it traveling through the living space of the home.

Attic contamination degrades air quality in a home. In addition to the continuous air exchange from the crawlspace to the attic, openings in ceilings and walls for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC system access increases a family’s exposure to any attic contamination.
Roof rats are common in many neighborhoods. Less frequent, but just as contaminating are bats, pigeons, possums, and raccoons. Viruses, yeast, and bacteria stemming from their feces and urine are hazardous to human health.

To remove insulation, we start the process by laying a plastic tarp under the attic access hole. In most cases, we use a two- or three-man crew, depending on the size of the job, with two men working in the attic and the third man working below the access hole tending to his co-workers, or co-worker above.
*Dragging old insulation through the living space of a house is NOT a safe method of removing insulation. Using this method will result in a house full of airborne fiberglass particles and any other contaminants that were in your attic.*

In these cases, the droppings and urine deposits often create strong odors and can be hazardous. Sometimes it’s a home improvement project that warrants removing and replacing the insulation in an attic. Other times it is something as simple as old blown insulation trickling out of cracks around light fixtures and attic doors.

An attic that is full of old, dusty, contaminated insulation is not only a potential health hazard to the home’s occupants, but it is also unusable.
