Insulation Removal

Insulation is a key component to the comfort and efficiency of your home. Unfortunately, some conditions require the removal of the insulation within a home. Sometimes insulation becomes damaged due to pests, water, or fire. Some homeowners choose to remove their insulation to upgrade to a more efficient and money-saving insulation option. At Peterson Energy Consultants, we offer clean and quick insulation removal so you can go forward with a better solution.

Water and Fire Damage

Insulation that has been exposed to water, fire, or smoke can lead to many concerns. A simple leak caused from a pipe break can create an unhealthy amount of mold and mildew. Even a small fire can cause soot and smoke to enter your insulation. These issues can result in years of unpleasant smells. Proper and immediate removal of insulation damaged by water or fire will bring peace of mind and allow you live safely in your home.

Energy Efficiency

Older homes may have insulation that is degraded over time and is not optimizing heating or cooling the home. ‘R’ values are used to measure the efficiency of insulation. The greater the value the better insulated the home will be. Installing the correct ‘R’ value helps to keep an even temperature within the home. At PEC, we can remove the old insulation and install the new,  adding comfort, economy and added indoor air quality.

Air sealing advantage

When removing old insulation is the best option for the home , air  sealing should be given serious consideration.   This involves foam sealing or blocking of bypass hole from the house to the attic.  Examples are wire and pluming chase areas.
