Service · A1 Chimney & Roofing
Insulation removal takes old insulation out of an attic when it is wet, contaminated, crushed, or in the way of a repair. Dry insulation that is still doing its job is left alone.

The work
The material is vacuumed or bagged out, and the ceiling tops and the baffles at the eaves are looked at once the attic floor is visible. Wet insulation around a chimney chase usually means a leak, and the leak is the real repair. New insulation after a removal is insulation replacement.
The kinds of insulation in play are described on their own pages, including blown-in and batts.
Why it matters
Insulation that has been wet does not dry back into insulation. It holds moisture against the ceiling and the wood. Removing it is how that ceiling gets to dry, after the leak that soaked it is found.
Removal is not a cleaning sold on a healthy attic. The visit says whether the material you have should stay.
What to expect
The attic is looked at, removal versus leaving it is explained with the price, and the work starts after you approve it.
