Start Fresh with Professional Insulation Removal by the Foam Gnomes
Before new insulation can work its magic, the old stuff has to go. Whether it’s matted-down fiberglass, dusty cellulose, or insulation damaged by pests or moisture, leaving it behind can hurt your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
Our team of Foam Gnomes uses professional-grade equipment and building science know-how to remove old insulation safely, cleanly, and thoroughly.
Does Old Insulation Need to Be Removed?
Over time, insulation can lose its effectiveness. Moisture, mold, rodent activity, and general wear and tear can compromise its performance and even your indoor air quality. In older homes especially, insulation might be doing more harm than good.
Removing old insulation helps:
- Eliminate allergens, dust, and contamination
- Provide a clean slate for new material to be most effective
Whether you’re installing spray foam or blown-in cellulose, starting with a clean slate helps your new insulation perform at its best.
How We Remove Insulation
We utilize high-powered, professional-grade insulation extraction equipment for a safe and efficient removal process. This specialized machinery is meticulously designed to contain dust and debris, preventing it from spreading and minimizing airborne particles throughout your home during the insulation removal.
Our commitment to maximizing suction power and precision often involves advanced, customized equipment setups:
- Daisy-Chaining Multiple Units: This involves linking several extraction machines together to exponentially increase the overall vacuum power, which is ideal for large volumes of material or extremely dense insulation.
- Mothership Configuration: A central, very large extraction machine acts as the main powerhouse, supported by smaller, more maneuverable vacuums. This configuration allows our team to navigate tight or complex spaces—like small attic entries or wall cavities—while still benefiting from massive centralized suction.
This dedication to maintaining a clean environment extends beyond just the removal phase. We also leverage this professional-grade equipment for detailed cleanup on new construction sites, ensuring a spotless and professional start for your new insulation project. It is how we guarantee that your insulation project begins on the cleanest, most professional foundation possible.
