Top 3 Reasons To Remove Your Insulation:

Over-Insulation

Having too much insulation in an attic is sometimes worse than not having enough. Adding heavy layers of insulation in an attic can drastically restrict the airflow and ventilation of your home. This can result in moisture issues on the top floor of your house and, in severe cases, even lead to mold problems. Left unchecked, either or both of these can cause health problems for your family especially if a family member suffers from allergies.

Contaminated Insulation

Critters that find their way in your attic can severely damage and even contaminate your insulation. An attic full of squirrel/bat droppings and urine-soaked insulation are yet other potential causes of serious health hazards for you and your family.  In addition, insulation that has been torn to shreds by animals over the years loses its functionality. Since tattered insulation cannot retain heat properly, it is unable to provide the benefits it once did and requires replacement.

Water Damaged Insulation

A leaky roof, improper ventilation and or incorrectly installed vapour barriers can contribute to water damage and possibly mould growth. In fact, the Owens Corning blog reports, “…when the water [or other liquid] evaporates, deposits of foreign materials that remain may decrease the R-value, and may also give mold and or mildew nourishment and a place to propagate. This growth, and/or odor (Yuck!), may then also be transferred to other building materials.”

Insulation Removal Process

Removing old insulation from an attic can be a time-consuming and challenging project. If there contaminated insulation is present you can expose yourself to several different safety hazards by disturbing the insulation and then inhaling the particles that become airborne. Proper safety equipment in conjunction with state of the art insulation removal systems is a must for anyone working with old, contaminated insulation.

Dragging dirty insulation from your attic through the living space of your home is NOT a safe method of insulation removal. Using this primative method may result in a house full of airborne fiberglass particles and may also fill your home with all the other contaminants that can potentially fill a dirty, damaged or deficient attic space.
