Insulation Removal Contractor Serving St. Louis, Mo
You might be asking why is insulation removal so important? Let us explain…
We all are subjected to the battle of figuring out how we can reduce our spending so we can increase the cash in our pockets.
Winter is quickly approaching and now is the time of year when you will experience some of your highest utility bills. Right now is the perfect time to make an investment to maximize the efficiency of your home, so you can enjoy the savings on utilities sooner rather than later.
80 percent of the homes in the St. Louis area are under insulated. The majority of the homes I survey still have the original insulation in the attic. These insulation systems have been compromised and damaged from pests or storms. Not only can the damaged insulation be a health hazard, it is also inefficient. Over time, the insulation becomes compacted and spread out. In some areas you may have 3” of insulation and others you may have 6”. These inconsistencies will create an inefficient thermal blanket that will result in increased energy consumption. These attics will benefit tremendously by removing the current damaged insulation, air sealing all the penetrations and installing a new fresh insulation product.
Why is having a properly air sealed attic space important? If your attic is not properly air sealed you will experience are leakage from the top plates and holes that have been drilled to run wire, pipes, and ceiling lights. Once the existing insulation has been removed, air sealing is one of the cheapest ways to increase the efficiency of your home and increase savings on your utilities. A properly insulated and sealed attic can save you up to 40% on your current utilitiy bills.
