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?

There are times when attic insulation needs to be removed, whether you have to place cable under this or because it's retaining the smell of smoke from a household disaster. Electricians and other contractors are not willing to do work in these areas when insulation impedes their progress. As such, you will need a St. Albert AB roofing contractor to take this insulation out.

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, it may be possible to take this insulation all by yourself if it doesn't contain contamination from rodents, mold or asbestos (always have asbestos testing done before you begin).

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.

All of this means that you should hire a reputable contractor to remove your old attic insulation and clean up the space. It is not an easy job and can take a lot of time - so trust the professionals.
