Remove Cellulose Insulation From Attic

Cellulose insulation is sprayed with flame retardant such as boric acid or amonium nitrate to prevent burning and prevent bugs from nesting in the insulation.

Remove cellulose insulation from attic.

Over the years your attic becomes dirty and dusty from air flowing in from the outside. When removing the cellulose from the attic only step on the planks set on the attic joists as stepping between the joists could damage your ceiling. Insulation removal vacuums are available at tool rental stores or insulation contractor businesses. Using high powered vacuums contractor bags and the proper safety equipment such as masks and gloves we can siphon the mess away quickly.

These high powered vacuums do two jobs. Use the shop vac to remove remaining insulation after raking and vacuum the attic floor without commercial vacuum usage. Wear clothing that will cover your skin and hair. Located on the outside of your home to keep dust mess to a minimum we run vacuum hoses up to the attic either through your front door or a window directly into the attic access opening.

In most cases cellulose insulation is made from almost 80 recycled newspaper. The remaining 20 is filled up by borax or aluminum sulfate. Use a respirator instead of a dust mask if the cellulose is very dry. In order to remove the old insulation from your attic we use a high powered state of the art industrial vacuum system.

Use the commercial vacuum hose to remove the insulation and clean the attic floor. In some cases you can remove the blown in cellulose insulation yourself but if you suspect that mold or asbestos has built up it is best to hire professionals who specialize in attic insulation removal. Use cell phones to communicate with your assistant. You can also fall through the ceiling if you.

Another option for loose insulation removal is to rent a hepa filtered industrial vacuum. Use rakes to collect insulation on to dustpan place collected insulation into waste bag without commercial vacuum usage. You may find it difficult. First the machine sucks up the loose insulation.
