Spray Foam Insulation Removal In Doon, Ontario

Signs That Foam Was Installed Badly

Foam mixed in the wrong proportions is called off-ratio foam. It can pull away from the studs, crack, crumble or give off a harsh chemical smell for months. Gaps along the framing let air move freely, so the foam stops doing its job.

Adding a fresh layer on top solves nothing. Cutting the bad layer out is the only real fix. Spray foam insulation removal cuts the bad material back to bare wood or concrete so the replacement can bond.

Old Batts And Loose Fill Also Have To Go

Spray foam insulation removal is not the only clean-out we do. Attic material that has been soaked by a roof leak, flattened by stored boxes or used as a nest by raccoons or squirrels no longer insulates well. We bag old batts by hand and vacuum loose fill through a large hose that runs out to a truck.

The attic floor is then clean and ready for sealing and new foam.

How Removal Is Done

Every spray foam insulation removal job starts the same way. We lay plastic along the route through the house and set up air filtration. Bad foam is cut and scraped away by hand, then bagged. Loose fill goes into sealed bags through the vacuum. Once the space is bare, we check for leaks and damage and show you what turned up.

Older Houses Can Hide More Than One Layer

Houses in Upper Doon and Pioneer Park have often had insulation added in several rounds over the years. We check what sits underneath before quoting, so the spray foam insulation removal price covers everything that needs to come out.

Removal Pricing

Spray foam insulation removal is priced by the area, the depth of material and the access. It shows as its own line on your quote, separate from the new insulation.
