Attic Insulation Removal in Ottawa

Why Would I Need an Insulation Removal Contractor in Ottawa?

Removing potentially harmful insulation requires training and experience. Insulation can be difficult to access and is often in dangerous locations to move around in, like an attic. Blown fiberglass insulation, for example, can attract and hold moisture, preventing evaporation. Often this allows harmful contaminants to become trapped within the attic.

In Ottawa, insulation removal often becomes a big project due to the volume of material. We get very cold temperatures, so most structures, especially residential homes, carry extra insulation. This often means we are removing decades of added insulation, which must be disposed of properly.

When we remove contaminated insulation from a space, we are not just dealing with the contaminants but the insulation itself. Airborne irritants released from old insulation require proper safety gear and procedures to do the job safely. Our technicians are thoroughly trained to identify potentially harmful contaminants, like mildew and mould, and remove them completely.

Insulation removal in Ottawa also requires strict adherence to safety procedures, such as walk boards and harnesses when necessary. This is why it is best to hire a professional removal service like Ottawa Spray Foam Insulation. Most homeowners do not possess the training or equipment necessary to perform an insulation removal project safely, and saving a few dollars is a poor trade if the result is personal injury.

Why Choose Us for Insulation Removal in Ottawa?

Different forms of insulation respond differently in the presence of moisture. Potentially harmful contaminants like mould can easily grow when moisture and shelter are provided, as happens with blown insulation. At Ottawa Spray Foam Insulation, we completely remove the old insulation and disinfect the space, giving you a clean start.

Spray foam insulation does not absorb and hold moisture because of its cellular makeup, so the material cannot harbour and protect the contaminants often found in other spaces. Because mould, mildew and other spores require moisture to live, installing spray foam after removal is a sound choice. Hiring Ottawa Spray Foam Insulation for insulation removal and replacing the old material with spray foam insulation just makes sense.
