When it comes to old insulation removal in Nepean, a professional approach is recommended. First, it’s important to identify whether your old insulation has to be removed completely. Here, a professional contractor will identify deficiencies and offer possible remedies. In every residential home, deficiencies in insulation material will be different – so it’s important to find the source.
If you suspect that your home insulation is underperforming, a professional inspection is the best first step. This will determine the scope of removal necessary, and the best options for installing new insulation. For old insulation removal in Nepean, a professional contractor is the best choice.
As a division of Great Northern Insulation, Insultech provides insulation removal in the Nepean area and nearby communities. Our professionals will assess your home and the scope of removal, while offering options for installing new insulation. Today, there are a host of new products.
Although every home is different there are a number of common reasons for removing insulation. In serious cases, complete removal will be necessary, followed by re-installation of new material.
If you’re doing a home renovation, and considering old insulation removal in Nepean, Insultech can do the work from end to end. We safely remove old insulation, make necessary repairs, and install new materials. We use high-tech equipment to ensure the cleanest and safest removal process. This work requires both experience and expertise, and Insultech provides installers who are trained and certified. Above all, old insulation removal should not become a DIY project.
If you’re considering a DIY approach to old insulation removal in Nepean, there’s a better way. Insulation removal is very labour intensive. There may be unforeseen problems. There may be repairs required. There may even be potential hazards. In most cases, there will be a need for a new air barrier and a new vapour barrier, in addition to enhanced air ventilation. Overall, the best option is to have the removal and reinstallation professionally managed from start to finish.
For maximum insulation performance air sealing is fundamental – regardless of the product. Air sealing blocks undesirable air movement and stops air leakage. A properly sealed home allows for air moisture and oxygen to be better managed. In the attic, air sealing is critical in controlling airflow between the inside of the home and the outside. For professionals, an insulation project always incorporates air sealing as part of an installation. Often, air sealing is a code requirement.
In attics and basements, fiberglass batt insulation is a good option. The insulation batts are non-corrosive and non-combustible. The fibreglass does not attract rodents or insects, which is important in an area like the attic. For maximum R-Value, fiberglass batts must be installed with proper air sealing and effective ventilation. This “system” will ensure long-term performance.
Blown in insulation is a cost-effective installation, providing satisfactory R-Value. Available in either cellulose or fiberglass, a professional installation is preferred (according to the building code). Because of its composition, blown in insulation can very effectively insulate small recesses. Here again, an air barrier and vapour barrier are required to assure insulation performance.
Spray foam insulation is the best-rated insulation product. Insultech recommends the product for attics, basements, and exterior walls. Expertly installed, spray foam does it all - providing an air-sealed space, a combination air barrier/vapour barrier, and excellent R-Values. There is no other product on the market that can compare with the superior performance of spray foam.
While mineral wool insulation is less well known, it has very good thermal properties. Mineral wool insulation is fabricated from renewable materials and can therefore be considered an eco-friendly product. This installation is cost-effective and ideal for attics, lofts, and exterior walls. Again, an air barrier and vapour barrier are required to fully complete the insulation “system”.
