See 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?

Sometimes, you need to remove your attic insulation, whether it is to lay new cable under it or because it's still holding the smell of smoke from a disaster, minor or otherwise. Electricians and the like often will not start work if there is insulation in the way. This means you need a St. Albert AB roofing contractor to remove your old insulation.

Make sure that the contractor takes the waste away and disposes of it, especially as some older insulation can be mildly hazardous. You may also be able to get a deal if you have them come back after the remodeling or work to install your new insulation - a necessity in Alberta's cold and snowy winters. Check reviews and do your research - it's very important to hire a contractor who will do a good job and clean up after themselves.

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.
