Sometimes it is necessary to remove the attic's insulation, due to its condition or its lack of effectiveness. Based on our experience, we've learned that most people indeed understand the reasons why the insulation needs to be replaced but the same experience has taught us that a lot of people don't understand the urgency and the importance of removing the old insulation materials as soon as possible. Here are 3 reasons that will help you better understand why it is so important to remove it without delay.
It Is Essential for Insulation Replacement
If you want to put new insulation in your house's attic, it has to start with the removal of the old. If the old materials or some leftovers of them remain attached to the ceiling or walls, it will be almost impossible to properly install the new insulation, as parts of it will be installed on the remains of the old one, which will diminish its efficiency. Only after the removal of all traces of the old layer, will your attic be ready for the new installation. Otherwise, you will be wasting your money and soon enough you will find it necessary to tend to the matter once again.
It May Be Contaminated
If your attic isn't fully isolated due to damaged insulation, it may also have been contaminated with wetness, mold or even rodents. Therefore, it is extremely important to remove the old damaged materials, while also thoroughly cleaning the attic of any contaminants. Even if it is not contaminated, the old insulation might be coming off the ceiling, which will let more dust and dirt in, slowly leading to the decrease of the air quality throughout the house.
It May Lead to Health Issues
While having a dirty or dusty house might be inconvenient, bad situations may result also in health issues of the house's residents. When your attic's condition turns into a real and immediate hazard, it needs to be treated quickly. Removing the old insulation while cleaning up the whole area, will restore safety to your home.
