Over time, attic insulation can become damaged, ineffective or even hazardous due to various factors such as moisture exposure, mold growth, pest infestations or general wear and tear. Old or compromised insulation not only reduces your home’s energy efficiency but can also negatively impact indoor air quality and lead to costly structural damage.
When Should Insulation Be Removed and Replaced?
You may need insulation removal and replacement if you notice:
✔ Water Damage or Mold Growth – Insulation exposed to moisture can develop mold, which can spread and cause respiratory issues.
✔ Rodent or Pest Contamination – Mice, squirrels and insects often nest in attic insulation, leaving behind harmful bacteria and allergens.
✔ Compacted or Settled Insulation – Over time, insulation can compress and lose its effectiveness, especially in high-traffic attic spaces.
✔ Home Renovations or Upgrades – If you’re remodeling, replacing HVAC systems or addressing ventilation issues, it’s the perfect time to install new, high-performance insulation.
