Insulation Removal Bay AreaEvery Bay Area property owner can reap tremendous benefits from having their home or building insulated. You get a comfortable and energy-efficient living space that you always look forward to being in.
However, over time, an insulation system loses its effectiveness, which results in problems like skyrocketing electricity bills, discomfort, and health concerns. This is where insulation removal becomes a vital step before you put a new one. |

Advantages of Updating Your Old Insulation
Aside from your old insulation not working anymore, it may also pose more problems than you should address right away.
Reduces your heating/cooling costsInsulation materials tend to lose their thermal resistance, or R-value, over time. This results in not being able to effectively slow down heat transfer as it used to. In turn, your heating or cooling unit exerts extra effort in warming or cooling your home to a comfortable level. This ultimately results in skyrocketing electricity bills.
Insulation removal allows the building envelope to prepare for new insulation. It is important that you remove any damaged or old insulation from your Bay Area property before installing a new one to check for potential problem areas first like cracks or leaks. Getting new insulation allows you to reap maximum potential benefits from having one. You save in so many ways – from paying for electricity to maintaining your heating/cooling units. |
Improves your comfortHaving old insulation may allow energy from your home to escape. That is, conditioned air may pass through the building envelope so it is hard for your heating or cooling unit to achieve the set temperature. In the same way, this also causes temperature fluctuations or variations across the different areas in your home, making some areas hotter or colder than the rest.
Insulation removal allows you to work on a clean slate so that you can create a seamless insulation system that will work in your Bay Area home or property. Insulation systems like spray insulation enable you to use one material across the whole building envelope, creating continuous insulation. You will not worry about missing cracks, gaps, or hard-to-reach areas. |
Increases indoor qualityAside from preventing heat transfer between the outside and the inside environment, insulation systems like spray foam insulation also act as air filters. Spray foam can trap allergens and pollutants from the air, improving indoor air quality.
When your home or property is more than 15 years old or is built around the '70s or before, it is best to have it assessed for the presence of asbestos. Asbestos is a material that is popularly used in old insulation systems but has been banned after discovering its cancer-causing effects. Getting a professional insulation removal service is your best choice to safely check and remove asbestos from your Bay Area home or building, just in case. |
Saves you moneyWe already mentioned savings from reduced electricity bills and lower heating/cooling unit maintenance from updating your old insulation. But, investing in a high-performing insulation material like spray foam insulation can provide more savings for you. More so, if you are looking at long-term benefits, getting a professional insulation service is the way to go.
Professional insulation removal is actually a cost-effective choice. You get to work with people in Bay Area who are experts on the job – they can accomplish the job faster and more efficiently. You are saving yourself from costly mistakes coming from your inexperience. |
