What it is, in plain English
Old insulation hides problems: rodent contamination, mold from roof leaks, asbestos in pre-1990 vermiculite, and decades of compaction that's killed its R-value. We remove it cleanly using HEPA-filtered commercial vacuums, contain the dust, and prep your attic deck for a fresh start.
What's included
- HEPA-filtered commercial vacuum trucks — no dust in your living space
- Containment around attic access points and HVAC returns
- Proper bagging and disposal at licensed facilities
- Sanitization treatment for rodent-contaminated attics
- Vermiculite testing referrals if your home was built before 1990
- Photo documentation before, during, and after
Frequently asked
Will dust get into my house?
No. We seal off the attic access with plastic and run negative-pressure vacuums that pull air out, not in. We've removed thousands of square feet of insulation without a single dust complaint.
How long does removal take?
A typical 1,500 sq ft attic takes 4–6 hours for removal. If we're also doing air sealing and re-insulation the same day, plan on a full day.
Do I need to leave the house?
No, you're welcome to stay. Most homeowners barely notice we're there.
