Re-insulating your home or property will reduce your energy bills, reduce noise pollution and make your home more comfortable overall.

Unless there has been significant damage to your home, like water damage or a fire, your insulation can provide years of protection against the outdoor environment.

Loose-fill and blown-in insulation is extracted using a 23-horsepower machine to vacuum it through a 6-inch diameter hose. The hose is connected to the machine that’s safely placed outside your home. However, fiberglass batt insulation must be removed by hand.
