Does Old Insulation Need to Be Removed?
|
While it’s sometimes possible to add new insulation over old, there are many ways it can go wrong. The insulation contractors at San Antonio Spray Foam Insulation know when it’s okay to leave old insulation in place and when it should be removed. Modern insulations are also more effective than insulation materials from 20 or 30 years ago, so insulation removal is often best for San Antonio, TX homes.
San Antonio Spray Foam Insulation inspects any old insulation in your home or office before deciding about insulation removal. While investigating, if we find wet or stained insulation, we try to determine what caused it and take steps to prevent the same from happening with new insulation. We might seal up any leaks, for example. Old insulation, especially fiberglass and cellulose, breaks down, and the resulting gaps trap dirt, moisture, and mold. Insulation removal should be done in your house or office if the old insulation has broken down or condensed over time. As insulation collapses, it becomes less effective. |

If your house was built before 1990, we might come across asbestos, lightweight loose insulation with shiny flecks. Removing insulation containing asbestos takes expertly trained remediation technicians. San Antonio Spray Foam Insulation can help.
Our insulation contractors are trained and knowledgeable. They would never place faced (insulation with a moisture barrier) over old insulation, for example, because moisture can become trapped in the old insulation. The moisture would break down the insulation and lead to mold and mildew. As professionals, we also know not ever to tack down or batten the new insulation into floor or roof joists. Batted or rolled fiberglass insulation should be installed perpendicular to joists. You can rely on San Antonio Spray Foam Insulation professionals to understand and strictly follow all industry recommendations. |
