Sometimes you cannot just add more. If the insulation in your attic is full of rodent droppings, has been soaked by a roof leak, or smells of smoke, laying new insulation on top traps the problem in place. Removal starts fresh: we vacuum the old material out, clean and sanitize the attic, seal up gaps, then reinstall new insulation to full depth.
How removal works
We run a high-powered insulation vacuum from the truck to the attic. Old material is pulled through a sealed hose straight into large collection bags outside, so it never comes through your living space. Then we sweep the attic floor down to the drywall backing and dispose of everything properly.
Clean, then seal, then insulate
With the attic empty we can finally see and fix everything: gaps around plumbing and wiring, open top plates, old can lights and rodent entry points. We sanitize the attic, seal what needs sealing, then install fresh blown-in insulation or batts to your target R-value.
Photos at every stage
You get photos before, during and after: the old material, the empty and cleaned attic, and the new layer with depth rulers. If the removal is part of an insurance claim, after a fire or a leak for example, those photos are your records.
Signs you could use this
- Droppings, nests, tunnels or urine stains in the insulation
- A musty or ammonia smell from the attic or ceiling
- Insulation that got wet from a roof leak
- Smoke or ash contamination after a nearby fire
- Very old, crumbling or mixed insulation you want gone
