When insulation removal is necessary?

Many reason for insulation removal:

Water damage: A leaky roof can render existing insulation useless. If moisture and water from your leaky roof seep into your insulation, it can lead to mold and mildew growth and can also lead to short- circuits. Not only will that damage the existing insulation in your attic, but also the ceiling. If your insulation has been damaged beyond repair, removal may be necessary.

Animal infestation: If rodents, insects, or other vermin have nested in your attic, insulation removal is necessary for health reasons. In order to keep the air in your home healthy and safe, we recommend that you remove and replace your old attic insulation.

Mold: Insulation removal may be necessary to get rid of mold infestations. Even, a thorough cleaning may leave behind spores which will attach and contaminate attic insulation later in time. Thus, to eliminate any possibility of mold re-growth from the residuals, a removal may be necessary.

Vermiculite /asbestos removal:  If your home has vermiculite-based insulation in your attic, it is absolutely essential that you do not attempt to remove it yourself. Because vermiculite-based insulation may contain asbestos fibers which are highly dangerous if is inhaled in large quantities. We have the equipment and expertise necessary to perform proper vermiculite insulation removal without causing dangerous asbestos fibers to be released into the air. We can deal with it with ease.

Smoke damage: If your home or building has been exposed to fire or smoke recently, it is very likely that your attic insulation has retained the smoke odor. Even if the insulation was not directly exposed to the fire itself, smoke penetrates through the walls and gets trapped by your insulation. In order to eliminate these issues, removal of the insulation system is highly recommended.

Renovation or electrical work: Adding cathedral ceilings, or upgrading the existing one or re-doing the electrical wiring in your attic, it may be necessary to remove your attic insulation, and then replace it after the work has been completed.
