Blown-In Insulation Removal
Blown-in (loose-fill) cellulose and fiberglass is removed by vacuum, not by hand. We run commercial insulation vacuums with long hoses from the truck straight into the attic, pulling out settled, dusty, or contaminated loose-fill quickly and cleanly without dragging it through your living space.
Blown-In Insulation Removal by Vacuum
Loose-fill insulation — blown-in cellulose and fiberglass — can't be removed by hand without making an enormous mess. We use commercial insulation vacuums with long hose runs from the truck into the attic, so the material goes straight from your attic into sealed collection bags outside, never through your living space.
What We Vacuum Out
- Cellulose — gray, paper-based loose-fill that settles, absorbs moisture, and holds odor
- Blown-in fiberglass — loose-fill that gets dusty and sheds fibers
- Settled or compressed loose-fill that's lost its R-value
- Contaminated loose-fill — water-damaged, moldy, or rodent-fouled
Why Vacuum Removal Wins
- Fast — a full attic of loose-fill comes out in hours, not days
- Clean — the material is contained in the hose and bagged outside
- Complete — the vacuum gets down into joist bays and corners hand removal misses
- Safer — far less airborne dust in the home
Contained and Hauled Off
We set up containment at the attic access, run the vacuum, and bag everything outside for haul-off. Crews wear respirators and PPE throughout. When we're done the attic is cleared to the deck and joists, ready for re-insulation or whatever comes next.
