How A St. Albert AB Roofing Professional Helps Remove Old Attic Insulation

By Jorel Tuyor


Has the insulation in your attic exceeded its sell-by-date. Is it time for you to start doing a little remodeling in this area? Does everything smell like smoke after a minor fire?

Attic insulation may need to be removed if you want to lay some cable beneath it or if it smells a lot like smoke after a fire event. You may find that your electrician is unwilling to work until this has been taken out. If this is the case, you should hire a ST. Albert AB roofing contractor to handle the job.

Be sure to find a professional who is going to eliminate the waste from these efforts properly, especially if you have old, hazardous insulation. Your provider could give you a lower price if you choose to use this same professional to install the new insulation after all remodeling work is complete - which is vital in the cold, snowy winters of the Alberta region. Read reviews and spend plenty of time researching prospective providers as you want to hire someone who will do a good job and clean up thoroughly.

In theory, you can remove attic insulation yourself, as long as it does not contain asbestos (make sure to do an asbestos test first), mold or rodent contamination.

Luckily, there are no rats in Alberta, but mold abounds. If your insulation is blown-in, removing it will require special gear in order to get through tight spaces. Thus, even though you could handle this job on your own, hiring a contractor could be best. It is also a real challenge to get rid of used insulation correctly.

This all means that you should hire a reliable company to take your old insulation out and get things clean. This job isn't an easy one and it's going to take a considerable amount of time so be sure to pass it on to the right professionals.
