Insulation removal

Old insulation out, hauled away

Matted, dirty, wet, fallen or animal soiled insulation comes out first, and we haul it away. Then the new insulation goes onto a clean start. We also do removal by itself.

Left, an attic floor buried in old gray blown insulation. Right, the same attic cleared to the ceiling
Before and after: old blown insulation pulled out, clean down to the ceiling.

What we remove

  • Old blown in fiberglass and cellulose in attics
  • Matted, wet or dirty batts
  • Insulation that animals have nested in or soiled
  • Fallen crawl space insulation and torn plastic

Why not just cover it up

Topping up bad insulation just buries the problem. Wet or soiled insulation does not insulate well, and you cannot see the ceiling or the wiring under it. Taking it out gives the new insulation a clean, dry start and lets us seal what was hidden.

What removal is not: it is not structural or foundation repair, mold remediation, waterproofing, drainage or sump pumps. If we find a problem like that, we tell you before any work starts.

Questions about this job

Can you just remove insulation without putting new in?

Yes. We do removal on its own when that is all you need, or as the first step before a new install.

Where does it go?

We bag it or vacuum it out and haul it away. It is not left in your yard.

What if the old insulation is vermiculite?

Vermiculite is pebble-like, gray-brown or silver-gold. The EPA says to assume the vermiculite contains asbestos and do not disturb it and to hire a professional asbestos contractor before any work that would disturb it [1]. If you think your attic has it, tell us before we come out.
