Insulation Removal

Do I need to remove my old insulation before adding new?

Many homeowners inquire about removing the old insulation from their attic, rarely is this needed. We recommend removing old insulation when the old insulation has been fire damaged, water damaged or heavily infested with rodents.

Most homes have some old or "existing" attic insulation already in their attic. Typically we just add more insulation to what you already have in order to bring the attic up to an R-30 or R-38 rating.  We actually can save you money by using your existing insulation as a base and installing enough additional material over it to bring the attic up to correct department of energy recommended levels.

In the rare instances where insulation removal is required, we hand-remove the fiberglass rolls and pack them in bags that are carefully removed from your attic. If the attic has blown material, we use a large vacuum to remove all the material. The vacuum is usually outside the house and this creates a "negative pressure" in the attic such that air is being drawn up into the attic, this ensures a clean job where little or no debris enters the home.

Spot Removal

Fiberglass insulation (rolled or blown) makes a welcome home to rodents and insects. We can remove insulation and clean in areas that are affected. We then install environmentally friendly cellulose  material  that offers greatly improved thermal benefits,  the cellulose insulation tends to reduce or eliminate rodent or insect infestations.
