Out With The Old! In With The New!Insulation Removal Services
Out With The Old! In With The New!Attic insulation removal is a significant undertaking that should not be taken lightly. It can improve the comfort, efficiency, and indoor living conditions of your home, but it can also be a challenging process. An attic that is full of old, dusty, and potentially contaminated insulation can pose a health risk to the occupants of the home and can be inefficient. Perkins Inc. specializes in removing old, dusty, and potentially contaminated attic insulation throughout the Dallas metroplex.
Perkins Inc. uses a safe and effective method for removing dirty attic insulation from homes. Whether the insulation is outdated, contaminated by rodents, or covered in dirt and debris, we have a solution to remove it. We use a high-powered insulation removal vacuum with durable suction hoses from 4″ to 8″ in diameter, connected to a large volume filter bag ( Tough Bags ) to collect the insulation. We also remove batted insulation, which comes in strips or rolls. The old insulation is then properly disposed of. Our insulation removal process is efficient and helps to prevent further contamination of the home by the attic insulation being removed.
Why Perform Insulation Removal?
- Remove damaged/contaminated insulation.
- Reduce allergens & dust entering from the attic.
- Fix over insulated/improperly insulated attic.
- Allow for complete attic floor air sealing to reduce hot/cold air transfer.
- Increase indoor air quality.
- Remove old insulation for spray foam attic encapsulation ( conditioned attic )

Insulation Removal And Attic Floor Air Leaks
Insulation removal exposes your biggest comfort and energy banditInsulation Removal And Attic Floor Air Leaks
Insulation removal exposes your biggest comfort and energy banditIf you need to remove your insulation due to age, condition, or infestation, it is essential to ensure that your contractor performs the crucial step of air sealing the attic floor. This is the most critical and cost-effective step in creating a true thermal boundary, which combines both an air barrier and an insulation barrier. You can only fully air seal your attic floor if the insulation is removed first. Make sure your contractor includes this step in the process and budget, and if they do not offer this service, find someone who does. Do not skip air sealing the attic floor if you remove the old insulation!
After completing the insulation removal, we are ready to air seal the attic floor. With no insulation in the attic, it is the perfect opportunity to find and seal all attic-to-home air leaks. Most insulation does not block airflow and acts like an air filter, allowing hot or cold air to pass through. Therefore, insulation installed over an unsealed attic floor does not perform to its full potential. Once all air sealing has been completed, we install Greenguard Certified insulation. Perkins Inc. is trained and certified to install insulation, and we ensure that every job is installed correctly to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. By air sealing the attic floor and installing new Greenguard Certified insulation, we can create a clean and efficient attic that is safe for you and your family.
The Insulation Has Been Removed. Choose One Of The Following Two Options:
I Plan To Use Blown Insulation
If your old insulation was removed there are a few things we recommend before installing new insulation. This is the perfect time to add or repair wires, fix attic ventilation, close animal access points, seal HVAC systems, run bathroom fan ducts outside, and add recessed lights. But the biggest advantage to removing the old insulation is air sealing the attic floor! Don’t let anyone skip air sealing the attic floor before you add new insulation! It is the biggest bang for your buck when it comes to increasing comfort, air quality, and energy savings. Adding insulation back into your home should always be the last step in your attic renovation project.
I Plan To Do A Conditioned Attic
If your old insulation was removed there are a few things we recommend before encapsulating your attic space with spray foam insulation ( conditioned attic space ). A conditioned attic space is an attic that is sealed so no outside air enters the attic from soffits or wind turbins. This keeps the attic 2 to 10 degrees different than the inside temperature. This is the perfect time to add or repair wires, close animal access points, seal HVAC systems, and run all bathroom/laundry exhaust ducts to the outside of the home. If your home has a gas furnace/water heater you will also need a certified HVAC contractor to run at least 6″ diameter semi rigid fresh air ducts from the units to the outside for combustion air.
