If you require old insulation removal in Carleton Place, it’s work that should be managed by a professional. To begin with, a professional can identify whether the old insulation material needs to be removed entirely. A professional insulation contractor will pinpoint deficiencies in existing insulation, and then recommend viable product options for re-installation. In fact, deficiencies and weaknesses in existing insulation are going to be different in every home.
If you suspect that your insulation has been underperforming, a home energy inspection could easily identify the problems. A thorough home energy inspection will determine if insulation removal is necessary, and how to proceed. For old insulation removal in Carleton Place, it’s far better to work with a contractor who has experience and expertise with residential insulation.
As a division of Great Northern Insulation, Insultech provides comprehensive insulation removal services in Carleton Place and in surrounding communities. Our highly trained experts will assess your existing insulation, recommend removal options, and suggest products for reinstallation.
While every home is different in size and layout, there are many common reasons for removing old and aging insulation. In serious situations, complete removal may be required. This would also involve making repairs, retrofitting the space, and installing new insulation. Working with a professional insulation contractor will assure you of quality materials and quality workmanship.
If you’re renovating, and considering old insulation removal in Carleton Place, the professionals at Insultech can do the work from end to end. We will remove the old insulation safely; we will make the necessary repairs and retrofits; and we will re-install high quality insulation. We use special cleaning equipment to ensure safe, clean removal. With Insultech, you’re assured of the highest standard of removal and installation from a team of trained and certified professionals.
For old insulation removal in Carleton Place, the DIY approach should not be considered. This type of work requires expertise, and can present serious problems for the uninitiated. If the old insulation material is contaminated, this can be hazardous. As for re-installing new materials, there may be a need for an air barrier, a vapour barrier, and even upgrades to the air ventilation. Bottom line, a professional with experience should be managing the removal and re-installation.
To ensure the maximum performance for newly installed insulation, air sealing is a requirement. Proper air sealing controls air movement and stops air leakage. When a home is well sealed, air moisture is also controlled, and moisture is prevented from accumulating. In the attic space, for example, sealing is essential for blocking air that might flow in and out of the home. For expert insulation contractors, air sealing is an essential component when installing new insulation.
Blown Insulation – this is a very cost-effective install for basements and attics. Blown insulation is available in fiberglass or cellulose, both with satisfactory R-Value. Blown insulation is effective for insulating those hard-to-reach spaces. For optimum thermal performance, an air barrier and vapour barrier must also be installed. A professional installation will ensure long-term results.
Fiberglass Batts – this product continues to be a popular option for both attics and basements. Fibreglass batts are asbestos free, non-corrosive, and non-combustible. The finished install does not attract rodents or insects. When professionally installed, the R-Values provide satisfactory thermal performance. Fiberglass batt insulation requires an air barrier and vapour barrier.
Spray Foam Insulation – this is an ideal application for exterior walls, as well as basements and attics. Spray foam insulation’s benefits surpass most other products including its multi-purpose application. Spray foam effectively air-seals a space – it creates a combination air barrier and vapour barrier – and it provides high R-Values wherever installed. Few products can match the insulation performance.
Mineral Wool Insulation – mineral wool is a less-known product, but with satisfactory product performance. This insulation is manufactured from renewable materials and is considered eco-friendly (for those homeowners who prefer). Mineral wool insulation is ideal for the attic, loft space, or exterior walls. Here again a separate vapour barrier and air barrier will be required.
In Carleton Place and surrounding communities, several home energy rebates are available to local homeowners. Once insulation has been completely removed, rebates are available for attic insulation retrofitting, a number of home energy upgrades, and other home insulation products.
Home energy rebates have various pre-requisites, depending on the type of installation work. Here, Insultech and Great Northern Insulation can determine which home energy rebate offers the best opportunity. We will also recommend which upgrades and retrofits are best suited.
For old insulation removal in Carleton Place, the experts at Insultech can professionally manage your project from end to end. We start with a thorough home energy inspection, where we determine the extent of insulation removal required. We then identify other deficiencies in the installed insulation, and identify any repairs or retrofits that may be required. Finally, we recommend cost-effective options for re-installing new insulation. Working with Insultech, you’re assured of the highest standards of workmanship, regardless of the size of the project.
