Insulation Removal

Insulation Removal

A Key Step in Addressing Fire-Damaged, Water-Damaged or Pest-Contaminated Insulation.

Does your home or building contain old, dirty, or otherwise contaminated insulation? Removing attic insulation is the first step in our integrated attic-cleaning solution. Old insulation is often inefficient and can lead to unnecessarily high energy bills. Dirty or pest-infested insulation, on the other hand, can lead to an unhealthy home. Many of the homes we work on have issues with rodents, birds, or other pests contaminating the insulation.

If any of these situations are the case, it’s time to remove insulation from those spaces to maximize the health, safety and energy efficiency of your building.

Energia offers a professional service that will remove the old insulation materials from your western Massachusetts building in a controlled way, without any disturbance to the rest of your home.

Blown-In Insulation Removal

Our team is committed to using specific technology that makes removing blown-in insulation a safe task. Our attic insulation removal service involves the use of a custom-designed, high-powered vacuum, which is connected to a very long hose. We can safely and efficiently suction up the blown-in insulation, which we collect either in a large-volume filter bag specifically designed to collect the insulation material or directly into a dumpster.

Fiberglass or other Batt Insulation Removal

If your attic has insulation batts, we can remove them by placing the insulation in contractor trash bags and manually removing it from the property. With blown-in insulation removal, it’s often the case that the insulation can be higher than the joists in your ceiling, which makes it difficult to see where you are walking. Also, since there are some potential health and dust contamination hazards, batt insulation removal does require a professional approach.

Why Have Your Insulation Professionally Removed?

There are several reasons why doing this yourself is not a safe option for most homeowners. Problems like the following can occur if you try the removal yourself without adequate protection and expertise:

  • Should pests or rodents have gotten into your insulation, stirring up dust and fecal matter might lead to contracting potentially harmful diseases.

  • Not everyone is familiar with the appearance of some potentially dangerous materials that can make up older insulation, like asbestos and older fiberglass products. These materials can be very dangerous to work with without personal protective equipment.

  • Although it can be tempting to try to remove the insulation yourself, there’s a very real chance that you could end up causing accidental damage such as stepping through your ceiling!

  • Using experts like Energia really does make a difference and helps avoid the risk of contamination, which can happen when trying to remove insulation material directly from the attic or crawlspace through the inside of the building rather than channeling it outside using a high-powered vacuum.

Allow the professionals at Energia to go about removing insulation for you. Whether dealing with batts or blown-in insulation, we’ll get rid of your insulation in the safest way possible.

How Can Home Weatherization Ease Your Allergy Symptoms?

Since spring is finally here in Massachusetts, the blooming trees, grasses, and flowers remind many people about their allergies. However, it’s not just the outdoors that can cause allergy symptoms. Many things in your home’s air can be inducing symptoms as well.

Weatherproofing Your Home Year-Round
Weatherproofing Your Home Year-Round

It’s no secret that Western Massachusetts is a beautiful place to live. One thing about the area that keeps homeowners on their toes, however, is the unpredictable weather.  For this and many other reasons, homeowners in the Pioneer Valley Area owe it to themselves to weatherproof their homes as efficiently as possible.

Weatherization in the Summer
Weatherization in the Summer

When winter hits in the Pioneer Valley, many residents look towards weatherization to ensure that their homes are not only comfortable, but safe and protected against ice dams for those days when inclement weather gets out of hand. Summer may not be the time of year that weatherization pops into people’s heads, but many are surprised to find out that it’s just as important throughout the summer as it is when winter is in full swing. 

Add Weatherization to your Spring Cleaning Checklist!
Add Weatherization to your Spring Cleaning Checklist!

The snow is melting here in Western Massachusetts. It’s time for Spring cleaning! Over the next few weeks we’ll all be gearing up for warmer weather. As you go through your checklist (clearing out the garage, boxing up your winter coats, dusting off your bike, clearing the gutters...), don’t forget to attend to your home. We often think of weatherization as preparing for the cold of winter, but in reality, weatherization is a necessity for efficiency and comfort year-round.
