Attic Insulation Removal

If your house attic is improperly insulated and ventilated, the first step to getting things right is removal of the old insulation and making sure that the ventilation measures are working properly so that any new insulation will not be ruined by a buildup of moisture within the attic space. This can cause other problems as well.

Proper attic insulation and ventilation is essential for your home. When properly done this will drastically lower your power bills and extend the life of your heating and cooling systems. If you already have insulation, as noted above, it will have to be removed before the new insulation can be installed.

If there are ventilation issues, which may have ruined your current insulation, there may also be issues with mold and mildew. We are experts at removing old, useless insulation and mold and mildew in a safe and cost effective manner, and all of our work licensed and insured. This must be done, and the ventilation problem fixed, before the new insulation can be installed. We have helped thousands of homeowners increase the efficiency of their homes; customers who know that your satisfaction is the most important thing to us, and our guarantee backs that promise up.

It should be noted that many new homes have insufficient insulation and ventilation and are just as susceptible to these problems as older homes. When it comes to mold, we always use E.P.A. registered sanitizers and anti-microbial product with advanced nanotechnology products to prevent the return of mold, but the main factor in eliminating mold is eliminating moisture through proper ventilation of your attic space.

You may decide to remove your old insulation simply because most home manufacturers use the cheapest fiberglass insulation they can find or because you have had rodent infestations. After insuring that we have removed any nests and waste they left behind we will make sure there is no way for them to get back into the attic space. We install premium grade cellulose blown insulation which is the best attic insulation on the market and which has been proven to outperform all forms of fiberglass products during both the heating and cooling seasons.

Another insulation installation which we perform for our customers is called radiant barrier insulation, which helps a tremendous amount in the summer time. A radiant heat barrier works with other insulation to actually turn away heat (or reflect it, hence the name). Normal insulation simply slows the progress of heat through the insulation barrier – but slowing it is all it does, and the heat coming from the sun hitting your roof will sooner or later get through the insulation and heat your house up. A radiant heat barrier keeps that absorption from happening in the first place.

If your attic insulation is damaged or just inadequate we can remove the old insulation, make sure there are no ventilation or rodent issues and install high quality cellulose insulation and a radiant heat barrier. This will keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and save you a lot of money while doing it. This will only increase as energy costs continue to rise. Call us today for an evaluation of your attic, and quit throwing money away because of poorly installed or damaged attic insulation.
