Removing old or contaminated insulation not only prevents health risks but also boosts energy efficiency and safety. Our expert team specializes in removing hazardous materials, including asbestos and vermiculite, ensuring a safe environment and enhanced insulation. We employ advanced HEPA filtration systems to eliminate 99.97% of mold, dust, and fine particles.
Health Canada advises to NEVER attempt the removal of asbestos-contaminated insulation yourself but to consult a qualified insulation removal contractor, also known as “asbestos abatement”.
Inso-Tec uses a 3-stage HEPA filtration system that eliminates 99.97% of mold, dust, and gases from your home. We safely remove contaminated insulation and install ventilation to prevent future issues.
After removal, we seal any remaining harmful substances with a specialized sealer, ensuring no off-gases or toxins remain. We then apply a superior vapor barrier and blow in cellulose insulation, offering enhanced thermal and acoustic protection.
We remove a wide range of insulation materials, including fiberglass, cellulose, spray foam, and hazardous materials like asbestos and mold-contaminated insulation.
Yes, our team follows strict safety protocols to ensure that all insulation is removed safely, minimizing the risk of exposure to contaminants like asbestos or mold.
The duration of the removal process depends on the size of the area and the type of insulation. Most residential jobs can be completed within a day, but larger or more complex projects may take longer.
We inject cellulose insulation at 3.0 lb. density into party walls and 2.5 lb. density into existing ceilings and floors, using 2 1/8 in. holes in the gypsum boards. For unfinished walls, a mesh is stapled to the frame before panel installation, preventing sagging and minimizing air leakage.
Inso-Tec uses a 3-stage HEPA filtration system to remove 99.97% of mold, dust, and particulates. We follow the "Clean, Kill, Coat" process, using peroxide cleaners and botanical disinfectants to clean and sanitize surfaces before applying a protective coating.
In some cases, especially when dealing with hazardous materials like asbestos, we may recommend vacating the premises during removal for safety reasons. For non-hazardous materials, you may be able to remain in your home.
We ensure that all removed insulation is disposed of responsibly and in compliance with local regulations. Hazardous materials like asbestos are handled with extra care and disposed of at designated facilities.
Yes, once the old insulation is removed and the area is cleaned, it’s ready for new insulation to be installed. We can also assist with the installation of new, energy-efficient insulation to ensure your property remains comfortable and efficient.
We use high-pressure vacuums to remove feces and existing insulation. Afterward, we apply Decon 30, a botanical treatment, to kill 99.99% of bacteria. Once the area is clean, we reinsulate with eco-friendly cellulose.
Spray foam is ideal, acting as a moisture barrier and air sealant while providing thermal insulation. It prevents condensation, enhances structural integrity, and doesn’t sag or settle, ensuring long-lasting protection in damp environments.
Spray foam seals out moisture, fills gaps to reduce air leaks, and provides excellent thermal insulation. It prevents condensation, strengthens the structure, and remains durable over time, making it perfect for basements and damp areas.
