For old insulation removal in Brockville, it’s much better to work with a professional. For a start, it’s important to decide whether the old insulation needs to be removed completely. This is why a professional is so valuable – to identify deficiencies in your insulation and recommend product options for re-installing new material. Deficiencies in insulation will be different in every home.
Possible reasons for old insulation removal in Brockville
If you think your home insulation is underperforming, an in-depth home energy inspection can identify the problem areas. A home energy inspection will determine whether insulation removal is required and possible remedies for re-installation. For old insulation removal in Brockville, it’s preferable to work with a professional contractor who has an expertise with home insulation.
As a division of Great Northern Insulation, Insultech offers complete insulation removal services and re-installation throughout the Brockville area. Our highly trained insulation professionals will assess your home, offer specific removal options, and recommend new insulation products.
Every home is different in layout and size, but there are always common reasons for removing aging insulation. In serious situations, complete insulation removal may well be necessary. This would involve addressing problem areas, making necessary repairs, and finally installing new insulation. By working with a professional contractor, you’re assured of quality workmanship.
If you’re renovating and considering old insulation removal in Brockville, Insultech can take on the project from start to finish. We remove all old insulation safely; we complete all repairs and restorations; and we install high quality insulation to finish the job. We use specialized cleaning equipment for a safe and clean removal. All of this work requires a high degree of expertise and experience, and with Insultech on the job, you’re assured of trained and certified installers.
For old insulation removal in Brockville, a do-it-yourself approach is not recommended. This type of removal process can be labour intensive, and can easily present unanticipated problems. In fact, if the old insulation is contaminated, it can be hazardous. As for re-installation, an air barrier and/or vapour barrier may be required, along with improvements to the air ventilation. As it is, insulation removal should be managed professionally from removal, to repairs, to reinstallation.
To ensure maximum insulation performance in any space, air sealing is required. Air sealing ensures that air movement is curtailed and air leakage is blocked. When a home is properly sealed, air moisture is more effectively controlled, and moisture accumulation is averted. In an attic, for example, sealing is essential in blocking air that flows in and out of the home. For the professional contractor, every insulation project incorporates air sealing into the installation.
Blown in insulation – a cost-effective installation for both basements and attics. Available in either fiberglass or cellulose, both products offer satisfactory R-Values. Blown insulation is very effective for insulating hard-to-access spaces. For maximum performance, both an air barrier and vapour barrier must be installed. For best long-term results, a professional install is preferred.
Fiberglass batt insulation – an installation option that continues to be popular for attics and basements. Fibreglass batt insulation is non-corrosive and non-combustible. The material does not attract insects or rodents. The installed R-Values provide satisfactory thermal protection. Fiberglass batts require an installed air barrier and vapour barrier, as well as proper ventilation.
Spray foam insulation – an ideal product application for the basement, attic, and exterior walls. Spray foam requires a professional install – it’s a multi-purpose application with many benefits. Spray foam air-seals a space – it provides a combined air barrier and vapour barrier – and the finished space has very high R-Value. Not many products can compare with the performance.
Mineral wool insulation – it’s a lesser-known insulation product, but with satisfactory thermal protection. Mineral wool insulation is fabricated from renewable materials and may satisfy the eco-friendly requisites of many homeowners. The installation is ideal for attics, loft spaces, and exterior walls. Again – both a vapour barrier and air barrier are required as part of the “system”.
Homeowners in Brockville and neighboring communities can take advantage of several home energy rebates. Once insulation has been removed, home energy rebates are available for attic insulation retrofits, other home insulation products, and a number of home energy upgrades.
Home energy rebates have different pre-requisites, all depending on the installation work. This is where the experts at Insultech and Great Northern Insulation can help you to understand various project options and the most current opportunities. We will recommend the best upgrades.
