Attic insulation removal

Attic insulation removal

The insulation located in an attic doesn’t have an infinite life expectancy and you may have to replace it. It is the case when the insulating material is contaminated with some asbestos (vermiculite), when a mold problem appears or simply when the insulating material is old and it is not so effective anymore.

The professionals of HYGIENACTION use very powerful HEPA vacuum cleaners in order to remove the insulating material.

With this equipment and with good technique, it is then possible to remove the insulation in a safe and effective way. Your attic is safe and that 's without the distribution of dust and other potentially harmful particles you may leave behind by doing it yourself.

Several precautions are taken by our experts such as the establishment of a security perimeter, the use of respirators and overalls, precise follow-up of a protocol and of course, the use of the best HEPA vacuum cleaners on the market.

All of these precautions are essentials, in particular if your attic contains asbestos or, if there's some mold growth.

Deal with professionals to assure yourself that your house becomes a healthy environment again. HYGIENACTION has the equipment, the expertise and the experience to assure you that the work is well done.

When humidity infiltrates your attic, wooden beams, drywalls or insulation, it becomes an ideal place for mold to grow.

The causes can vary, but here are the main ones:

• Condensation caused by temperature differences (cold outside and warm inside in winter time)
• Roof leaks
• High level of humidity
• Any form of water infiltration

It happens frequently that we don't notice the presence of mold in an attic because the space is rarely visited. It can also affect the air quality of your house and impact the health of its occupants. Keep in mind that mold can infiltrate into the HVAC system and then propagate trough the whole house or building.

If some mold is present in an attic, all of the wet materials must be removed, along with the insulation. It is important to call a professional to avoid contaminating the rest of your house. Do not hesitate to contact HYGIENACTION for a free estimate.
