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.

You want a professional who is going to cart materials off and properly dispose of them, especially in instances in which outdated insulation could be hazardous. It could be possible to get a discount if you have these same professionals install new insulation after your remodeling project is complete - this is essential in the snowy weather of Alberta. Do you research and read reviews - it's vital to hire professionals who will clean the work site and do a great job.

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.
