Every once in a while, every home and business owner have to check the insulation of their attic, for it tends to wear down with time. Since it plays quite an important role in the protection of your house it is advisable to identify when it is no longer useful and replace it before any damage can happen. It is also important to make sure the old insulation is removed before putting in the new one. Here's why.
Damaged Insulation
Worn-out insulation is one that wasn't installed properly or one that has been damaged by wetness, mold, rodents and such. Meaning that the old material might be infected with bacteria or by insects, which may lead to illness among the building's residents and visitors. Therefore, before installing the new insulation, it is critical to fully remove the old material and clean the infected area in its entirety.
Clear the Way for the New Insulation
Another significant reason to remove the old insulation is to allow for a proper installation. If the old material won't be removed, the new one won't be able to hold for a long period of time, because it would be installed on a bad basis to start with. Therefore, if we want to ensure the efficiency of the new layer, we have to perform a professional and thorough removal of the previous insulation.
How Often Should I Do This?
