Why Insulation Removal Matters
Insulation is a key component in maintaining a comfortable and energy-efficient home. Over time, however, insulation can become damaged, degraded, or contaminated, making it less effective—or even hazardous. At Eco Spray Insulation, we specialize in professional insulation removal services that ensure your property remains safe, energy-efficient, and ready for new insulation.
What Is Insulation Removal?
Insulation removal involves the extraction of old or damaged insulation materials from attics, walls, basements, or crawl spaces. This process is often necessary when:
- The insulation has deteriorated due to age or water damage.
- There’s a pest infestation (rodents, insects).
- Mold or mildew has formed.
- The property is being renovated or re-insulated for better performance.
