Insulation Removal in Allegan, MI

Insulation removal is needed when attic or crawl space insulation is wet, moldy, nested in by mice, squirrels or raccoons, or smoke-damaged. Cottages that sit empty all winter are especially prone to rodent damage. New insulation over that only traps the smell.

How it works

We run a high-powered vacuum from outside, pull loose fill into bags or a container, and bag batts by hand, protecting the house along the way. With the attic floor clear we can seal every gap properly.

Vermiculite

Vermiculite, a gray-brown pebbly fill common in older houses, may contain asbestos. It must be tested before disturbing. If positive, a licensed abatement contractor removes it.

Failed foam

Foam sprayed too thick, mixed wrong or over a leak sometimes must come out. HomeGuide lists $1.00 to $2.50 per square foot; Fixr up to about $5 when hand-chipped.

Removal before a sale or rental

Buyers' inspectors often flag rodent-soiled or wet attic insulation, and tenants notice the smell. Clearing it out, sealing the attic floor and reinsulating to depth turns a problem item on an inspection report into a selling point. We give you a written record of what was removed and what was installed, with the final R-value.
