Old Insulation Removal

Insulation that has been wet, chewed, soiled by animals or gone gray with dust has stopped doing its job and may be a health concern. Pulling it out by hand fills the air with fibers and dust, so we use a truck-mounted vacuum with a long hose.

We remove old insulation from attics and walls across Nashville and Middle Tennessee. Crews wear protective gear, seal off the work area, vacuum material to the truck, clean the attic floor and leave bare joists ready for air sealing and a new layer.
