Why Insulation Removal is Important
Here are some reasons why you should opt for insulation removal in Council Bluffs, IA.
|
Discomfort
Sometimes when insulation does not work well, you will feel temperature fluctuations within your home. If you have cellulose or fiberglass insulation installed, and you feel temperature fluctuations indoors, it means that outside air is entering and conditioned air is escaping. Opting for insulation removal in Council Bluffs, IA and installing foam insulation will solve this problem, as only spray foam creates a complete air seal. |
|
Damaged insulation
Cellulose and fiberglass insulation is easily damaged by leaking pipes or a leaking roof. Damaged and wet insulation should be removed as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Damp insulation can lead to the growth of mold and mildew. This can spread allergens in your home, destroy your building structure and you will end up spending much more on repairs later on. |
|
Mold and Mildew
Mold and mildew are formed not only when your cellulose or fiberglass insulation gets wet due improper air flow or ventilation. Cellulose and fiberglass absorb moisture and this causes mold and mildew to grow on it. When insulation is attacked by mold or mildew you will need to opt for insulation removal in Council Bluffs, IA. |
|
Pest infestation
Pests like critters and rodents make their homes in attics and crawl spaces because they feed off insulation like cellulose. This can cause many problems in your home or commercial building and allergens can spread. When you use spray foam, it seals all gaps and crevices. However, before installing spray foam, you will need to opt for insulation removal in Council Bluffs, IA. |
|
Can Spray Foam Be Used Over Old Insulation?You might be wondering whether you should remove your old insulation before adding new spray foam even if your old insulation is not destroyed. The old cellulose or fiberglass insulation will not add to the structural integrity or add extra R-value, so it is of no use. More importantly, spray foam needs a clean surface to adhere to and it cannot be sprayed over the existing insulation.
When adding new spray foam for attic insulation and crawl space insulation, you will have to opt for insulation removal in Council Bluffs, IA. It should always be done by an insulation contractor for the best results. |
