For old insulation removal in Stittsville, you’re far better off hiring a professional. To begin with, it’s important to determine if the old insulation should even be removed. Here, a professional can be quite valuable – identifying insulation deficiencies and offering options for re-installation. The deficiencies in insulation material differ with each home – so it’s key to identify problem areas.
If you have a feeling that your home insulation might be underperforming, a professional home inspection can accurately assess the problem areas. A home inspection can assess if insulation removal is necessary and what options are available. For old insulation removal in Stittsville, it’s far preferable to work with a professional who has the experience and expertise with insulation.
As a company division of Great Northern Insulation, Insultech provides insulation removal and installation in Stittsville and throughout the Ottawa region. Our highly trained professionals will assess your insulation, offer removal options, and recommend new products for re-installation.
While every home is different in size and layout, there are some common reasons for removing old insulation. In the most serious of situations, complete insulation removal might be necessary. This would involve remediating the problem areas, restoring the installation space, and installing new insulation material. With a professional on hand, you’re assured of the highest quality work.
If you’re doing a home renovation, and considering old insulation removal in Stittsville, Insultech can do all of the work from start to finish. We safely remove the old insulation; we handle repairs and restoration requirements; and we re-install the highest quality materials. We make use of special equipment to ensure a safe, clean removal process. This is work that requires expertise and experience, and with Insultech, you’re assured of a team of trained and certified installers.
For old insulation removal in Stittsville, a DIY approach should not be considered. Removing old insulation can be very labour intensive, and can present a host of unanticipated problems. In fact, insulation that is contaminated can even be hazardous. As for the re-installation process, an air barrier and vapour barrier may need to be installed, along with improved air ventilation. All things considered, insulation removal should be professionally managed for the best outcomes.
To ensure optimum insulation performance, air sealing is a required element. The installation space must be sealed effectively in order to curtail air movement and block air leakage. When a home is well sealed, air moisture is better controlled and excessive accumulation is prevented. In an attic space, air sealing is absolutely essential for blocking airflow in and out of the home. For a professional, every insulation project would incorporate air sealing as part of the installation.
Blown in insulation is a cost-effective option for basements and attics. It’s available in fiberglass or cellulose, both of which provide satisfactory R-Value. Blown in insulation can be very effective when insulating hard-to-reach spaces. For optimal performance, this product requires both an air barrier and vapour barrier to be installed. Overall, a professional installation is much preferred.
Fiberglass batt insulation continues to be an excellent option for attics or basements. Fibreglass batts are non-corrosive and non-combustible; the materials do not attract insects or rodents; and installed R-Values are satisfactory. Much like other insulations, fiberglass batts will require an air barrier and vapour barrier, along with proper air ventilation – it’s considered a complete system.
Spray foam insulation is recommended as an ideal application for basements, attics, and even exterior walls. Requiring a professional installation, spray foam is a multi-purpose application – it completely air-seals a space; it installs a combination air barrier/vapour barrier; and the finished space offers very high R-Values. There’s no other product that can compare with the versatility.
Mineral wool insulation is a lesser-known product when compared to others. However, it has satisfactory insulation properties once installed. Mineral wool is made of renewable materials and is therefore considered eco-friendly. The installation is perfect for attics, lofts, and exterior walls. Here again, a vapour barrier and air barrier must be installed as part of the “system”.
