Removing Insulation from Your Attic & Other Parts of Your Home in Portland

New insulation can be installed on top of old insulation in some cases, but there are times when insulation should be removed. An insulation professional will be able to assess your insulation and determine whether or not it needs to be removed. But in general, insulation needs to be removed when it is:

• Damp or wet
• Moldy
• Damaged by fire or anything else

If insulation is damaged by water, mold, fire, or anything else, it won’t be as effective at stopping heat transfer and maximizing the energy efficiency and comfort of your home or building. This is why it’s important to make sure your insulation is in good condition and will work the way it’s supposed to.

Frequently Asked Questions: Insulation Removal

When should my insulation be removed?

If you’ve experienced water damage, you should schedule insulation removal. Insulation can hold moisture in for a long time and become a source of mold spores or mildew. It also will lose its effectiveness at slowing down the transfer of heat into your home once it’s wet. If a small area was affected, only that portion should be removed, the entire attic insulation does not have to be removed.

How is insulation removed from an attic?

For loose-fill or blown-in insulation, we use an extraction machine to suck out the insulation. We use the same machine to suck out the insulation when we are applying spray foam. For fiberglass batt removal, it must be done manually, one batt at a time.

How much does insulation removal cost?

Insulation removal cost will depend on the existing depth of insulation, square footage, attic access, and offshoots.
