Getting Rid of Old, Dirty Attic Insulation

Challenge

Attic insulation in your home can get pretty nasty. Older insulation like fiber glass insulation has organic elements making it easier for mold to grow. Over many years old insulation sits there collecting dirt, dust, pollen, bugs, rodent feces (from mice, squirrels, bats, etc.), bird droppings and nest and all kinds of undesirable things. Older insulation needs to be removed for a proper air sealing job to be done. To make your home more energy efficient, simply makes the most sense to get rid of the old dirty insulation prior to adding today's standard blown TruSoft cellulose insulation.  

Solution

Fogarty's Home services will conduct the unpleasant task of removing the damaged, soiled insulation in your attic. Batt insulation is bagged and then the attic is vacuumed to remove pieces, parts and dust. Loose fill insulation is vacuumed with a giant vacuum located outside with giant filter bags and a very long, fat hose. 

The end result after removing the damaged insulation in your attic is that it is clean! It's now read for proper air sealing and installation of CLEAN, FRESH, NEW TruSoft cellulose or one of other Dr Energy Saver strategies to make your home comfortable and energy efficient.
