Insulation Removal
The removal of old insulation is time consuming, strenuous, and often requires specialized equipment. DIY attempts expose you to mold, mildew and dust, not to mention animal remains and droppings- all of which can make you seriously ill. For peace of mind, leave insulation removal to the experts.
Insulation Removal in the GTA
Insulation is removed for a variety of reasons. When insulation is installed incorrectly, it often needs to be removed before corrective work begins. When buildings need new insulation, pre-existing insulation must be removed beforehand for maximum effectiveness.
Signs that insulation needs to be removed
- Water has seeped into batts, causing sagging and mold- often caused by roof leaks
- Once water has penetrated insulation, the insulation is no longer effective
- Water-damaged insulation allows moisture to work its way into surrounding structures, causing serious damage
- The insulation has smoke damage, and unpleasant scents are noticed throughout the house
- Insulation is infested by rodents and insects; remains and feces line the insulation
- You and your family can become seriously ill if such insulation is not removed
- Common with older homes, the insulation contains harmful asbestos and vermiculite
- Structural changes to your home
- For example, before installing a cathedral ceiling or converting the attic into a living space; basement renovations
When old, unwanted insulation remains in your home, energy bills become expensive. Your walls face an increased risk of mold decay, and your home’s market value can be negatively affected.
Before it’s too late, contact a technician at One Alliance if you believe your home has insulation that needs to go!
