OKANAGAN INSULATION REMOVAL SPECIALISTS

Contaminated
Insulation Removal

If your insulation has been damaged or contaminated by rodents, pests, moisture, smoke, or age, simply covering it with new insulation may not solve the problem.

HD Horne will inspect the affected area, identify the source and extent of the contamination, and determine whether the insulation should be removed and replaced. Depending on the cause of the damage, the work may also qualify under your home insurance policy.

We safely remove contaminated insulation, address hidden air leakage and entry points, and install new high-performance insulation to help restore a cleaner, healthier and more comfortable home.

THE PROBLEM

When Does Insulation Need to Be Removed?

Contaminated insulation removal may be necessary when insulation has been damaged by rodents and pests, moisture, smoke, odours, or deterioration over time. Once affected, insulation may no longer perform as intended and can leave contaminants, unpleasant odours, or damaged material hidden in your attic or crawl space.

Simply adding new insulation over the top doesn’t remove the underlying problem. In some cases, the affected insulation needs to be removed so the area can be properly cleaned, inspected and prepared for new insulation.

~ Rodent, pest or animal contamination
~ Wet, mouldy or moisture-damaged insulation
~ Smoke and persistent odours
~ Old, damaged or deteriorated insulation

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I know if my insulation is contaminated?
Common signs include rodent droppings or nesting, persistent odours, pest activity, water damage, staining, mould concerns, or lingering smoke smells. An inspection can help determine the extent of the contamination and whether the insulation should be removed.
Does contaminated insulation need to be completely removed?
Not always. It depends on the type and extent of contamination and the condition of the existing insulation. We inspect the affected areas and recommend removal only where it is appropriate.
Can insulation contaminated by rodents, water, or smoke be covered by home insurance?
Coverage depends on the cause of the damage and the terms of your individual insurance policy. We can document the condition of the insulation and the work required so you have the information needed when speaking with your insurance provider.
Do rebates apply to insulation replacement?
Some insulation upgrades may qualify for available rebate programs. Eligibility depends on the home, project and current program requirements. We are registered with all rebate programs and are happy to help navigate you along the way so you can save the most on your upgrades.
Do you remove vermiculite or asbestos?
Unfortunately potential asbestos-containing materials require an abatement company for assessment and handling as per BC WorkSafe requirements.
