Old Insulation Out. Fresh Insulation In.

Rodent damage, storm leaks, mold, or just decades-old material that stopped working — we remove it safely, clean the attic, and install fresh insulation the same visit.

When Insulation Needs to Come Out — Not Be Covered Up

Most attics just need a top-up. But sometimes the honest answer is that the old material has to go first:

🐀 Rodent or pest contamination

Rats and raccoons nest in attic insulation and leave droppings and urine behind. Covering that with new insulation seals in the contamination and the smell. It needs to come out.

💧 Water damage

After a roof leak or storm damage, wet insulation loses its insulating value and can grow mold in Florida humidity. Wet sections should be removed before anything new goes in.

🕰️ Very old or deteriorated material

Insulation from decades past can be compressed to near-uselessness, full of dust and debris, or simply the wrong material for our climate.

🔨 Before a renovation

Re-roofing, ductwork replacement, or major electrical work often calls for a clean, empty attic to work in — and a fresh install after.

How Removal Works

Inspection & honest assessment

We look at the whole attic and tell you what actually needs to be removed — sometimes it's everything, often it's only sections.

Sealed vacuum removal

Old insulation is vacuumed out through a sealed hose into bags outside your home — not carried through your hallway in loose armfuls.

Clean & sanitize

The attic floor is cleaned of debris and droppings, and treated where contamination was present.

Fresh insulation installed

New blown-in insulation to R-30–R-38, usually the same day — one visit, done.

Removal & Replacement FAQ

What does insulation removal cost?
Removal typically adds $1–$1.50 per square foot on top of the new insulation install, depending on how much material there is and its condition. A full removal-and-replace job for a typical Broward home usually lands in the $3,000–$5,000 range. Exact quote after the free inspection.
Can't you just put new insulation over the old?
If the old material is dry and clean — yes, and that's the cheaper option we'll recommend. Removal is only for contaminated, wet, or badly deteriorated insulation. We'll show you photos and let you decide.
Is the removal messy?
No — the insulation travels through a sealed vacuum hose directly to collection bags outside. Your living space stays protected and we clean up completely.
Do you handle the rodent problem too?
We remove the contaminated insulation, clean and sanitize, and can seal the entry gaps we find. Active infestations should be handled by a pest control company first — we're happy to coordinate the timing with them.

Not sure if yours needs removal or just a top-up? We'll tell you straight.
