Insulation Removal

 

The removal method varies based on the insulation type. Fiberglass batt insulation can be removed by carefully pulling out the insulation and rolling it up if needed. Avoid breaking it into small pieces to prevent airborne fibers. Cellulose insulation requires the use of a vacuum or blower to remove it especially from attics. In most cases a specialized insulation removal machine is used. Spray foam will require cutting or scraping and sometimes chemical solvents are needed to help with removal. All insulation must be properly disposed of according to local regulations.

Benefits of Insulation Removal

 

Insulation Removal offers many benefits for improving the energy efficiency, comfort, and safety of buildings, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications. Some of these benefits include:

 

 

temperature icon Efficient Thermal Perfomance

Removing old or damaged insulation and installing new high-performance insulation significantly boosts thermal performance. Older insulation may have deteriorated and lost its effectiveness. New insulation typically has a higher R-value, providing better thermal resistance and reducing heat loss or gain.

puzzle icon Versatility

The removal of insulation allows the adaptability to new insulation technologies with the use of updated insulation materials and custom solutions for the specific space. During renovations or remodels, removing old insulation allows for easier access to walls, ceilings, or floors. This makes it simpler to modify, upgrade, or improve the building’s overall functionality.

shield and checkmark icon Uniform Coverage

Removing old insulation ensures that new insulation can be installed without gaps, overlaps, or areas of reduced coverage, leading to a more consistent thermal barrier and improved energy efficiency. Seamless coverage helps eliminate cold spots and drafts ensuring a uniform temperature throughout the space.
