Insulation is not always a matter of adding more. Often times, you’ll actually want to remove and replace some of your home’s insulation. These issues can range from poor and inadequate insulation to weather-related issues or serious events which damage the insulation enough to require replacement. Here are a few reasons why your home may require attic insulation removal.
Water Damage
If there’s one thing that can truly wreak havoc on your home’s insulation, it’s water. When water enters your home through a leak or another damaged component of your house, it can seriously affect your home’s insulation. As insulation tends to be a porous and fibrous substance, water can be its worst enemy. This will not only damage the insulation itself but can eventually lead to mold and mildew forming, presenting a health concern for you and your family.
Fire Damage
A home which experiences a significant fire will very likely need its insulation replaced. Fire can damage insulation and hinder its ability to function properly. Even if a fire doesn’t reach your home’s insulation, the smoke from the fire can still cause significant damage, requiring some form of attic insulation removal and replacement. The smell of smoke can also become trapped in insulation after a fire, a nuisance which you will undoubtedly want to address as soon as possible.
Contamination
One of the most common reasons why a person may need to have their insulation removed is due to some form of contamination. This may include mold or mildew from water damage, or animal feces from a rodent infestation. Either of these issues can create a health hazard for those living in your home.
