Many homeowners make the mistake of simply adding new insulation on top of the old. However, this can be a costly and ineffective strategy. If your existing insulation is damaged, dirty, or degraded, it can cause more harm than good.
Why Remove Old Insulation? Old insulation can harbor dust, pests, mold, and other contaminants. This can affect indoor air quality and compromise the performance of your new insulation. Removing it ensures a clean slate for optimal results.
The Process of Insulation Removal & Vacuuming Professionals use specialized equipment to safely remove old insulation. Industrial-grade vacuum systems are then used to clean out the roof cavity, removing dust, debris, and allergens.
When Should You Consider Insulation Removal?
- If your insulation is over 15 years old
- After a pest infestation or roof leak
- If you’ve noticed inconsistent indoor temperatures
Follow with a Roof Top-Up or New Install Once the space is cleaned, it’s the perfect time to install fresh insulation or top up existing layers. This ensures maximum performance and long-term efficiency.
Don’t let old insulation compromise your comfort. Start fresh with removal and vacuuming for the best results.
