Vacuumed out and bagged on site

Insulation Removal
in Utah homes.

Sometimes the first job is taking out what is already there. Insulation that is damp, flattened or has had pests in it needs to come out before anything new goes over it.

What it involves

The job
description.

Old material that has got wet, been crushed underfoot or had rodents in it is not doing much, and laying new insulation over the top of it traps whatever is going on underneath. We vacuum it out through a hose into sealed bags.

It is not needed on every job. Plenty of attics can simply be topped up, and we would rather do that than charge you to remove something that is still working. We will tell you at the visit which one yours is.

“We had our attic insulated last November and our heating bill dropped by about 30% that first winter. The crew was on time, respectful of our home, and finished in one day. Couldn’t be happier with the results.”

“ECO Elements did a fabulous job. They got here exactly when they said they were going to and spent the whole day working hard in the hot attic to get the insulation out and the good stuff in. The price was fabulous and the work was top-notch.”

Common questions

About this
job.

If yours is not here, ask us on the phone.

01Do I always need the old insulation removed?
No, and most of the time you do not. If it is dry and clean we can add over the top, which is cheaper and just as effective. Removal is for material that is damp, contaminated or crushed.
02How messy is it?
Less than people expect. The material goes out through a hose into sealed bags rather than being carried through the house, and the route gets covered before anything starts.
03What happens to the old material?
It is bagged on site and taken away with us. Nothing is left in the yard or the driveway.
04Can you do removal and new insulation together?
Yes, and that is usually how it goes. Clearing the deck is what makes it possible to seal properly before the new material goes in.
