INSULATION REMOVAL:
INSULATION REMOVAL:
Contaminated Insulation
The removal of insulation is not for a do-it-yourself project, this requires specialized attention from a qualified technician who will assess the situation and determine the right means for removal. Before all work begins the homeowner or business owner should have an animal removal company make sure the animal is removed. All entry ways and exits used by the animal need to be blocked off. Disinfecting and deodorizing the area affected is very important whether it be an attic or crawl space before insulation is installed.
Animals like squirrels, raccoons, possums, birds, bats, and rats find ways to get into your attic, leaving your attic contaminated. Animals are carriers of all kinds of diseases and can cause many types of infections. A contaminated attic may have a strong odor and may be hazardous to one’s health with poor indoor air quality.
Water Damage Insulation
Storms and roof leaks are two of the major reasons for water damage in your attic. If the attic insulation is wet it needs to be removed. Wet insulation will start to grow mold. It is important to understand there are potential health effects from mold in homes that may cause health problems.
Fire/Smoke Damage Insulation
No matter how small the fire, your existing insulation can be filled with smoke and soot. The smell alone will stay for years. Not to mention smoke and heat in insulation can also cause mold to grow. The only way to fix a fire or smoke damaged attic is to remove the old insulation.
Too Much Insulation
Attics, especially in old homes, can be full of dirty, dusty, contaminated layers of insulation. Too many layers of insulation can create moisture problems which leads to moldy stains on walls and ceilings.
Process Of Removal
First, we will plastic/tarp your floors and walls from the entrance all the way to the attic access point to protect from damage. If blown in insulation, we will use 4-inch hoses that are hooked up to our commercial 23 Horsepower Insulation Vacuums, the loose fill insulation will then be vacuumed by our experienced technicians all while the insulation is being contained inside of our hoses straight into our trucks insuring no insulation exposure to your home and your family.
If batting, we will remove and stage all of the insulation close to the attic access point by hand and dispose of it all into what we like to call Snake Bags. These snake bags will also insure no insulation exposure to your family and the inside of your home. After all of the batting insulation is removed, we will vacuum thoroughly to make sure we get anything left behind for a much cleaner process.
