Why Remove Old Insulation?
High energy bills
Heating and cooling costs in Canada may account for up to 70% of your monthly bill. Poor insulation may be the reason your energy bills cost so much. The insulation in your attic may be failing to conserve the temperature in your home, which makes your HVAC system work harder than it should have to.
Pest Problems
Mice, rats, squirrels, raccoons, and bats love to den in attics. If you’ve struggled with wildlife before, there are animal droppings in your attic that are contaminating the air you breathe and rotting the insulation. Your attic should be inspected immediately following animal removal.
Old insulation
Insulation usually sags with time, so it loses surface area and effectiveness. Older types of insulation usually have lower r-values as well, so they are not as energy efficient. What’s worse is that homes built before 1975 may be insulated with asbestos, which has been proven to cause cancer.
Moisture Issues
Your insulation should be replaced if it has gotten wet. Wet insulation does not work properly, and it is likely to develop mold, which will spread and cause serious damage to the walls of the home. Mold will break down the structure of your home and be a hazard to your health.
Insulation Removal Cost
The cost of having your insulation removed depends on the following factors:
Accessibility – How accessible is your attic? The higher the ceiling, the better. Attics with low clearance take more time to service, therefore they cost more.
Size – Smaller attics yield a higher cost per square foot. This is because we need to mobilize the same number of technicians and pieces of equipment for a smaller space.
Debris – Debris such as nails, plywood, shingles, and animal carcasses risk damaging our machinery. If there is debris in the attic, we will need to use caution. This makes the job take longer and costs more.
Amount of insulation – The more insulation is in the attic, the more it will cost to remove it.
Type of insulation – Cellulose and loose-fill insulation is easiest to remove, therefore it costs less. Batt insulation costs more to remove because it must be cut into pieces and removed manually.

DIY VS Professional Attic Insulation Removal
Safety
Working in the attic is not always safe because the space is hot, cramped, and unstable. Professionals have the training and equipment to navigate the attic safely. They can also remove insulation without releasing any material, dust, or germs into the air.
Time
Removing attic insulation usually takes somewhere between 4 and 7 hours. Amateur work takes twice the time, at least. Hiring a professional is much quicker and much more efficient.
Proper Tools
Professionals have the equipment to get the job done right. They have industrial vacuums, receptacles, and disinfectants to give your attic a proper clean. You can trust that professionals won’t dirty the air in your home or spill insulation into the house.
High-Quality Results
Professionals have the training, experience, and equipment necessary to remove insulation properly. Call us for an inspection and removal service that you can count on.

Frequently Asked Questions
First, we cut or loosen the insulation, then we vacuum it up. The vacuums we use are directly connected to the bags in our trucks, so no insulation is carried or dragged through the house. Once the insulation is removed, we clean the attic thoroughly with disinfectants and foggers, which kill germs and get rid of odours.
All insulation types can be removed, including blown-in insulation. Blown-in insulation is actually the easiest to remove, so we charge less for it. If you’re not sure what kind of insulation you have, we can identify it for you.
There is no need to rent an insulation vacuum because we will do that for you. We have powerful vacuums that are airtight, so we can remove the insulation in your attic without dirtying your home in any way.
