If you’re looking into old insulation removal in Pembroke, the best approach is a professional approach. To begin with, it’s important to determine whether the old insulation materials must be removed completely. Here, a professional approach is preferred in order to identify existing deficiencies and possible resolutions.
When you suspect insulation deficiencies, it’s best to perform a professional inspection. This will determine the best course of action for removing and reinstalling the insulation. If you’re looking into old insulation removal in Pembroke, it’s an experienced contractor who will provide results.
Insultech is a division of Great Northern Insulation, providing insulation removal in Pembroke and surrounding communities. Our insulation professionals will assess the scope of removal, and will recommend the best options for installing new insulation – there are many new products.
While every home is different, there are some common reasons for removing old insulation. In more serious cases, complete removal of material may be necessary (as well as re-installation).
For old insulation removal in Pembroke, Insultech can work around your home renovation from start to finish. We will safely remove your old insulation, make any necessary repairs, and install the new insulation material. We make use of high-tech equipment to ensure a removal process that is completely safe. This is work that requires experience and expertise – Insultech installers are highly trained and certified. Above all, home insulation removal should not be a DIY project.
If you’re thinking about a Do-It-Yourself approach to old insulation removal in Pembroke, it’s not recommended. This work is labour intensive. There may be problems that need troubleshooting. There may even be repairs that are required. Worse, there may be hazards. With most insulation work, a new air barrier and vapour barrier will be required, as well as enhanced ventilation. All things considered, the best option is to have the project professionally managed from end to end.
To ensure maximum insulation performance for new insulation, air sealing is a vital component. Effective air sealing will block undesirable air leakage, and will ensure suitable air movement. A well sealed home will better manage air moisture and airborne oxygen. In attics, air sealing is simply critical in controlling the airflow from inside the home to the outside. For professionals, every insulation project incorporates air sealing as part of the install (often a code requisite).
This is a popular product in the attic and roof cavity. Blown In Insulation is cost-effective and has satisfactory R-Values. Available in cellulose or fiberglass, this product should be installed professionally, and according to the required building code. Because of its unique composition, Blown In Insulation can effectively insulate awkward spaces and small recesses. With an expert install, along with an air barrier and vapour barrier, long-term insulation performance is assured.
For attics and basements, fiberglass batt insulation is a good installation option. Fibreglass batts are non-combustible, non-corrosive, and typically moisture resistant. In addition, fibreglass batts don’t attract insects or rodents, particularly in an exposed area like the attic. To ensure maximum R-Value, fiberglass batts must be installed strategically, with proper air sealing, and with effective ventilation. This is a comprehensive “system” that will ensure long-term insulation effectiveness.
Spray foam insulation continues to be the best-rated insulation product on the market. Insultech recommends spray foam for the attic, basement, and exterior walls. When expertly installed, spray foam provides an air-sealed space - an air barrier and vapour barrier combination - and exceptional R-Value. No other product compares with the superior performance of spray foam. It can also be paired with a complementary product in a “hybrid” installation.
While mineral wool insulation is a lesser known product, it has thermal properties and offers a lot of years of high quality performance. Mineral wool insulation is made from renewable materials and therefore considered an environmentally friendly product. This is a cost-effective installation, ideal for insulating an attic, loft, or exterior walls. Here again, it’s necessary to install an air barrier and vapour barrier as integral components of the complete insulation “system”.
