For old insulation removal in Goulbourn, hiring a professional is the best option. For a start, you need to decide if your old insulation materials should be removed completely. This is where insulation professionals can be valuable - identifying deficiencies in your insulation and offering re-installation options. Insulation deficiencies are different from home to home – so it’s key to source the deficiencies, and determine the scope of work that’s required to make improvements.
If you see indications that your home insulation is underperforming, a professional inspection would be in order. A home energy inspection will determine if removal is required. As well, you can explore options for installing new insulation. For old insulation removal in Goulbourn, it’s better to work with a professional contractor who is experienced with insulation removal.
As a division of Great Northern Insulation, Insultech offers home insulation services throughout Goulbourn Township and the Ottawa region. Our trained professionals will assess your needs, offer various removal options, and make recommendations for re-installing new insulation.
While each home is different, there are common reasons for removing old home insulation. In the more serious cases, complete insulation removal may be necessary. This would be followed by new insulation being re-installed, particularly when the old insulation can’t be properly restored.
If you’re thinking about old insulation removal in Goulbourn during a home renovation, Insultech can undertake all the work. We will remove your old insulation safely; we will make the required repairs; and we will install new, high quality materials. We use special equipment to ensure the safest, cleanest removal. This is all work that requires expertise and experience, and Insultech provides trained, certified installers. Importantly, insulation removal shouldn’t be DIY project.
For old insulation removal in Goulbourn, the do-it-yourself option shouldn’t be a consideration. Removing old insulation is labour intensive, with the potential for unanticipated problems. In fact, there could be hazards. As for re-installation, there may be need to install an air barrier and vapour barrier, as well as enhancing air ventilation where required. All things considered, a DIY approach is not the best option to choose – it’s best to have the project professionally managed.
For maximum insulation performance, air sealing is an essential element. When a space is sealed effectively, air movement is curtailed, and air leakage is blocked. A properly sealed home controls air moisture and prevents moisture accumulation. In an attic, air sealing is absolutely essential in controlling airflow between the outside of the home and the inside. For professionals, insulation work always incorporates air sealing as part of the installation (this is often a code requirement).
Fiberglass batt insulation remains a good option for the attic or basement. The batts are both non-corrosive and non-combustible; the material doesn’t attract rodents or insects; and thermal protection is satisfactory. For maximum performance, fiberglass batts require an air barrier and vapour barrier, as well as appropriate ventilation. This “system” ensures optimum performance.
Blown in insulation is a cost-effective installation for both basements and attics. Available in fiberglass or cellulose, blown insulation provides satisfactory R-Value. A professional installation is preferred. Blown in insulation is effective for insulating hard-to-reach spaces. This product requires the installation of an air barrier and vapour barrier to ensure maximum performance.
Spray foam insulation is a superior insulation product. We recommend spray foam for the basement, attic, and exterior walls. When professionally installed, spray foam is multi-purpose – it provides a completely air-sealed space; it provides a combination air and vapour barrier; and it provides the best overall R-Values. No other insulation product can compare.
Mineral wool insulation is less well known, but with satisfactory insulation properties. The product is fabricated with renewable materials and can therefore be considered eco-friendly. Mineral wool insulation is ideal for attics and lofts, as well as exterior walls. Here again, an air barrier and vapour barrier must be installed independently as part of the complete “system”.
