Types of Insulation

SprayFoam

Foam insulation is one of the most effective and versatile systems on the market. It's a superior barrier that completely covers your chosen space. It can be sprayed or injected into an open cavity.

FibreGlass

Fibreglass insulation is made from plastic consisting of fine glass fibers. It's often used in unfinished walls, floors, and ceilings between studs, joists, and beams. It traps pockets of air to heat and cool rooms.

Cellulose

Cellulose insulation is made up of recycled paper fiber. Not only is this insulation good for the environment, but it also acts as a fire retardant. 

At Great Canadian Insulation, we can remove any type of insulation from your residential or commercial property. Speak to one of our professional team members to learn more about our services.

About Insulation Removal

Insulation removal is the process of taking insulation out of an area like the attic, basement, or crawl space. At Great Canadian Insulation, we have a thorough technique that ensures the project is completed in a safe and timely manner.

Let us walk you through our insulation removal process step by step.

Inspection

Our team will begin by inspecting your insulation for signs of damage. We will check for animal infestations, and water or mould damage. 

Indicators of infestation include nesting, urine, or droppings, which can release toxins into your home's air supply. It's not something that should be ignored.

We will also seek out mould or water damage. Black streaks or spots, as well as strange smells, are some of the things we look for.

Ensuring the area is free of obstructions or obstacles is also essential to getting the job done. A safe work environment and a clean attic space ensure the project is finished on time.

Removing Insulation

The team at Great Canadian Insulation will lay down plastic sheets to protect your attic and other areas of your home. We use a high-powered shop vacuum to remove old blown-in insulation. The material will make its way through the hose and into insulation removal bags. Your experienced technician will remove other debris, ensuring the process is secure, safe, and hygienic.

Benefits of Insulation Removal

At Great Canadian Insulation, we know insulation removal has several benefits. Check them out below!

Energy Efficiency: Removing insulation will help your home become more energy efficient. Proper insulation allows you to maintain your home's temperature during the warm and cool months of the year. It also results in lower bills.

Better Air Quality: When your insulation becomes contaminated, the air quality in your home goes down. Old insulation can leave lingering scents throughout your home that can make you sick. Removal and replacement can help you breathe better.

Health Improvement: Rodent droppings and mould are serious health hazards in any home. Diseases can spread throughout the home if contaminants linger in the air. Restore your insulation by removing it and replacing it to feel better. 

Better Resale Value: Lower energy bills and effective home heating and cooling are appealing to buyers. If you're considering selling your property, consider removing and replacing the insulation. It's one less thing for new homeowners to worry about, so you may get a higher offer.

When to Remove Insulation

There are several reasons to remove and replace your old insulation. Here are the most common reasons we find during our jobs. 

Mould: Mould occurs for several reasons. Common causes include improper venting, leaks from heating and cooling systems, and harsh storms. If left for too long, it can cause allergic reactions or long-term respiratory issues. Call us to remove and replace your insulation if you encounter mould.

Water Damage: Roof leaks, open areas in your siding, and unsealed walls can cause water damage. When insulation gets too wet, its fibers join, creating wet clumps in the affected areas. This can lead to compression or contamination. The result is your insulation loses its ability to cool and heat your property. 

Pest and Animal Infestation: Animals and pests can make their home in your insulation, which greatly reduces its effectiveness. Classic signs of an infestation include droppings or urine, scurrying or squeaking noises, nests, and damaged insulation.

Efficiency Manitoba has rebates and offers to help.

All types of insulation can get rebates. The four types of rebates available are Home Insulation Rebate, Income Qualified Offers, First Nation Insulation and Direct Install, and Metis Energy Efficiency. Click here to learn more about each one. 

The team at Great Canadian Insulation will fill out the application for you and submit it for approval. A pre- and/or post-verification at your home may be required, but we’ll keep you informed of everything. Once we’ve finished the job and the insulation is fully installed and paid for, we submit the remaining paperwork on your behalf. We make it as easy as that. All you have to do is contact Great Canadian Insulation to see if you’re eligible today!
