When Insulation Removal is Necessary
Not all insulation problems can be solved by adding more. Sometimes complete removal is the only safe and effective solution.
Old Insulation Underperforming
Insulation installed 15+ years ago may have settled, compressed, or degraded significantly. Old materials often lose their thermal properties and can actually trap moisture, reducing your home's energy efficiency.
Contaminated by Rodents or Moisture
Insulation contaminated by rodent droppings, urine, or water damage poses serious health risks and must be completely removed. Contaminated insulation can harbor bacteria, mold, and unpleasant odors.
Preparing for Upgrades
When upgrading to modern, high-performance insulation systems, removing old insulation ensures optimal installation and performance. This is especially important for achieving maximum energy efficiency.
