Blown Insulation Removal and Replacement
If you've seen old or dirty insulation around the house, it may be time to get it replaced. Often a home improvement project is a good opportunity to replace old insulation. Old insulation is much less efficient which could mean higher energy bills. Dirty insulation could be caused by pests such as rodents that leave behind unhealthy contaminants. If rats or mice have forced paths through the insulation in your walls, floors, and ceilings, the problem could be more widespread than you realize, and they will likely be back, if they ever left.
If you've seen loose insulation, animal droppings, or detected unpleasant odors in your attic or crawlspace, it would be a good idea to contact professionals and see about having the bad insulation removed, the space cleaned and sanitized, and modern insulation blown in. The blown-in type of insulation is more energy efficient than standard insulation. More efficient insulation helps to reduce energy bills, and the blown-in type of insulation can be done with minimal disruptions to your home. This type of insulation creates an airtight barrier that also reduces noise while providing better fire resistance. It is also moisture and mold resistant. Blown in insulation is typically made from cellulose, or plant fiber, which is much safer than older insulation products.
Technicians for Insulation Removal
There are some good reasons why this is a job best left to professionals. Should pests or rodents have invaded your insulation, stirring up the dust around fecal matter could lead to serious diseases. Older insulation may contain materials such as asbestos, also known as vermiculite insulation, or unsafe fiberglass products which can cause serious respiratory conditions. It's important to be able to distinguish these types of materials. It can also be dangerous to walk in places such as attics where the insulation covers joists, and falling through your own ceiling is a real possibility.
