Insulation Removal in Las Vegas

We specialize in the removal of various types of attic insulation, including blown-in cellulose insulation, fiberglass batting, and batting insulation. Each type of insulation may require a different approach for removal; for example, blown-in insulation is typically vacuumed out using specialized equipment, while batting insulation may be removed by hand. Our team is equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to remove your insulation safely and efficiently, regardless of the type.

Over time, attic insulation can degrade, become contaminated, or simply become less effective. Insulation that’s over 80 to 100 years old, for example, won’t perform as well as newer materials, leading to higher energy bills and decreased comfort in your home. Additionally, if your insulation has been damaged by water, pests, or mold, it needs removal to maintain a healthy living environment. In these cases, it’s not only necessary to remove the old attic insulation but also to replace it with new, high-efficiency insulation to ensure your home is properly insulated.

The cost to remove attic insulation primarily depends on several factors: the size of your attic (measured in square feet), the type of insulation to be removed, and the presence of any hazardous materials such as asbestos. On average, the removal will cost around $2 per square foot, but this can vary. For instance, removal of insulation contaminated with pests or hazardous materials may require additional safety measures, increasing the cost. Additionally, the complexity of accessing the attic space and whether the removal can be done with equipment or must be done by hand can affect the price.

Yes, removing old or ineffective insulation and replacing it with new, high-performance insulation can significantly improve your home’s energy efficiency. Old attic insulation won’t insulate your home as effectively, leading to energy loss and higher utility bills. By having your attic insulation removed and replaced, you can ensure that your home retains heat during the winter and stays cool during the summer more efficiently. This upgrade not only improves comfort but can also reduce your energy costs in the long run.

An attic insulation removal project typically begins with a thorough inspection of your attic to assess the current state of the insulation and identify any issues. Our attic insulation professionals will then use specialized equipment and supplies, such as high-powered vacuums and waste bags, to remove the old insulation safely. The duration of the project can vary, generally taking a few hours to a full day, depending on the size of your attic and the amount of insulation that needs removal. After the old insulation is removed, our team can also assist with the installation of new insulation, ensuring your attic is properly insulated.
