If you need old insulation removal in Cornwall, you’ve probably discovered some deficiencies in the existing insulation. What’s most important is to determine whether old insulation materials need to be removed completely. Whatever the age of your home, there are some specific signs that point to insulation deficiency – and this is where decisions should be made about removal.
When insulation deficiencies are suspected, it’s best to go with a professional approach for inspection, removal, and reinstallation. If you’re in need of old insulation removal in Cornwall, a professional contractor will ensure safe removal of material and re-installation of new insulation.
Insultech is a division of Great Northern Insulation, providing insulation removal throughout the Cornwall area. Our team will advise if complete insulation removal is necessary and will offer viable options for re-installing new insulation. Today, there are a number of effective options that were not available years ago. Insultech assures you of a professional approach from end to end.
Although every home is different, there are some common reasons for removing insulation. In some serious situations, there may be no other option but to completely remove and re-install.
If you’re doing a home reno and require old insulation removal in Cornwall, Insultech can offer you a comprehensive service approach. This is the ideal opportunity to remove any ineffective insulation, make repairs, and reinstall new materials. When removing insulation, we use high-tech equipment to ensure a process that is safe and clean. This is work that requires expertise – it’s work that must be done right the first time. Our people are trained and experienced with removal and re-installation. You can be sure that your newly installed insulation will perform.
If you were thinking about a DIY approach to old insulation removal in Cornwall, it would be wise to reconsider. This work is extremely labour intensive. As well, repairs may be needed. Worse, there could be potential hazards and there may be problems that need troubleshooting. In fact, insulation removal is only the start of the process. There will likely be a need for a new air barrier and/or vapour barrier and finally, better ventilation may be required. When you work with Insultech, you’re assured that every aspect of removal, repairs and re-installation is considered.
For optimum insulation performance, effective air sealing is essential. Air sealing ensures proper air movement throughout the home. A well sealed home also controls air moisture and oxygen levels. Air sealing is particularly important in the attic because it efficiently manages airflow from the inside of the home to the outside. During any removal and reinstallation, air sealing is the key to better performing insulation. Indeed, building codes often require air sealing when insulating.
Blown insulation is commonly used in the attic and roof and is one of the more cost-effective installations. Available as cellulose or fiberglass, blown insulation provides uniform thermal protection in a given space. It must be professionally installed with everything according to code. Blown insulation can effectively insulate even small recesses and awkward spaces. Expertly installed, this application ensures satisfactory R-Value levels and long-term performance.
Fiberglass batt insulation is a good choice for attics and basements. The insulation batts are non-combustible, resistant to moisture, and sound dampening. Fibreglass batts will not attract insects or rodents, particularly in an exposed space like the attic. For maximum performance and optimum R-Value, fiberglass batts must be installed professionally. Here again, proper air sealing and ventilation are required to ensure long-term performance of the newly installed insulation.
Today, spray foam insulation is considered the best product on the market. At Insultech, we highly recommend spray foam for both the attic and the basement. Spray foam does it all – it creates a completely airtight space; it provides a combination air barrier/vapour; and it delivers excellent R-Values. No other insulation product can compare with the performance of spray foam. Spray foam can also be combined with other insulation products in an effective “hybrid” install.
Another insulation option for the attic is mineral wool insulation. It has satisfactory thermal properties and provides many years of insulation performance. Mineral wool insulation is made of renewable materials and is considered eco-friendly. This is a cost-effective install and can be very effective when insulating the attic cavity, loft areas, and exterior walls. Once again, this type of installation requires an effective air barrier and vapour barrier as components of the “system”.
Cornwall homeowners can take advantage of various home energy rebates to offset the cost of home insulation. Each of the available rebates has a specific upgrade target and pre-requisites.
