When Should You Get Your Insulation Replaced?
If You Own An Older Home
If you own an older home, your insulation may not be up to code. For example, oftentimes old insulation is made of pure fiberglass, meaning it does not meet environmental requirements. Your insulation might also be contaminated from years of use. Either way, you will want to get it checked by a team of professionals. Contact Green Attic and we can provide you with more information on whether your insulation is up to code.
If You Have A Rodent Infestation
Rodents and pests often make themselves at home in your insulation. Animal feces, and urine cause your insulation to become toxic and break down over time. Usually, this renders your insulation useless for heat and energy regulation.
If You’ve Had Water Damage
Wet insulation produces toxic mold and mildew. If your home has recently had water damage, then the quality of your insulation could be compromised. Wet and moldy insulation can not be salvaged and you should call a professional team right away. We will remove and replace your wet insulation, and seal the water’s entry point.
Do It Yourself Insulation Removal?
It may be tempting to try and remove damaged insulation by yourself however we highly recommend against it.
The first reason is, by law used insulation needs to be disposed of under strict safety regulations.Secondly, removing insulation without the proper protective gear and equipment is highly dangerous. We don’t want homeowners exposing themselves to things like toxic mold without protective gear.
Lastly, after your old insulation is removed you will need a professional team to install new insulation. You can call us for both your insulation removal and replacement services!
