Sometimes the best first step is taking old insulation out. Rodents tunnel through and nest in attic insulation, leaving droppings and odor. Roof leaks soak it, and smoke or water damage can leave it unusable. In those cases, adding new insulation on top only buries the problem.
We remove old insulation with a high-powered vacuum system that pulls it through a hose directly into bags outside, keeping dust out of your living space. Once the attic is clear, we can seal air leaks and install fresh insulation, whether that is blown-in or spray foam.
Removal is also a smart step before roof deck spray foam when the existing floor insulation is in poor shape. Every job starts with a free inspection.
Glenpool tip
If you have had a rodent problem, have pest control address entry points before removal. New insulation should go into a clean, sealed attic.
Signs Your Attic Insulation Should Be Removed
- ✓Droppings, nests or tunnels in the insulation
- ✓Musty or animal odors from the attic
- ✓Water stains or wet insulation after a leak
- ✓Smoke or fire damage
- ✓Compressed, dirty insulation from years of foot traffic
- ✓Plans to convert to roof deck spray foam
What Happens After Removal
Once the old insulation is out, the attic floor is cleaned and any damaged drywall or framing can be addressed. It is the ideal time to seal air leaks around wires, pipes and fixtures.
Then you choose the new insulation: blown-in on the attic floor for the best value, or spray foam on the roof deck if ducts and equipment are in the attic. We price both options.
