OKANAGAN WILDFIRE RESTORATION

Smoke Contaminated Insulation Removal

Lingering smoke odours after a wildfire?

If your home was exposed to heavy wildfire smoke, contamination may remain in the insulation even when you can’t see it. HD Horne can inspect your attic to determine whether removal is needed and whether the work may qualify under your home insurance policy.

We safely remove smoke-contaminated insulation, air seal hidden leakage points, and install new high-performance insulation to help restore your home’s comfort and indoor air quality.

THE PROBLEM

Can Wildfire Smoke Become Trapped in Your Insulation?

Wildfire smoke can become trapped in attic insulation, carrying particles deep into your attic and crawl space. Over time, insulation can absorb odours and contaminants, causing lingering smells that affect your home’s comfort and air quality long after the wildfire is gone. Simply masking the smell may not address contamination trapped inside the insulation.

~ Persistent smoke odours
~ Reduced air quality
~ Possible insulation contamination

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can wildfire smoke really affect insulation?
Yes. Smoke particles and odours can settle into porous insulation materials and may remain after the immediate smoke event has passed.
How do I know if my insulation needs to be removed?
Persistent smoke odours, visible contamination, or smoke exposure in the attic or crawl space can indicate that an inspection is needed. We can assess the insulation and recommend the appropriate next steps.
Do you work with insurance companies?
Absolutely. We can provide detailed documentation and estimates to help support the insurance process.
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.
