Why Remove Old Insulation?

Over time, insulation can degrade, becoming less effective or even problematic. Whether due to age, moisture damage, or outdated materials, removing old insulation is often the first step to improving your property’s energy efficiency and comfort. Thuiseco’s insulation removal service tackles common issues, ensuring your building meets modern standards.

Common Reasons for Insulation Removal

Moisture Problems: Wet or damp insulation, often from leaks or poor ventilation, can lead to mold, rot, or structural damage.
Reduced Performance: Old materials like UF foam, glasswool, or polystyrene pearls may settle, crumble, or lose their insulating properties, creating cold spots and heat loss.
Outdated Materials: Insulation installed decades ago often doesn’t meet today’s energy efficiency standards, wasting energy and increasing costs.
Pest or Debris Contamination: Insulation can become a nesting ground for pests or collect debris, compromising its effectiveness and indoor air quality.
Renovation Needs: Removing insulation may be necessary for structural repairs, upgrades, or to prepare for new, high-performance insulation.

Our Insulation Removal Services

Thuiseco offers comprehensive insulation removal for a variety of applications, ensuring a thorough, safe, and efficient process. We go beyond just cavity walls, addressing insulation in floors, roofs, and other areas, with a focus on precision and sustainability.

Cavity Wall Insulation Removal

Old or damaged cavity wall insulation (spouwmuurisolatie) can cause moisture issues or heat loss. We remove materials like UF foam, glasswool, or polystyrene pearls, often installed decades ago, using advanced techniques:

Inspection: We use endoscopic cameras to assess the condition and type of insulation in your cavity walls.
Removal: Insulation is extracted through small holes in the outer wall using a high-powered vacuum system, minimizing disruption.
Cleaning: The cavity is thoroughly cleaned to remove debris, ensuring a dry, mold-free space for new insulation.
Reinstallation: We install modern materials like closed-cell polyurethane foam (R-value ~6.2 per inch) or HR EcoPearls (Lambda 0.033 W/mK) for optimal performance.

Floor Insulation Removal

Ineffective floor insulation in crawl spaces or under floors can lead to cold floors and moisture problems. We remove old materials like glasswool or foam boards:

Access: We work through crawl spaces or remove floor sections if needed, ensuring minimal disturbance.
Removal: Old insulation is carefully extracted, addressing any moisture or pest issues.
Replacement: We install high-performance options like biobased PUR foam or fire-resistant pearls, improving warmth and reducing energy loss.

Roof and Loft Insulation Removal

Outdated roof or loft insulation can settle, trap moisture, or harbor pests, reducing its effectiveness. We handle:

Assessment: We inspect for damage, mold, or pest activity in the roof or loft space.
Removal: Old materials like mineral wool or cellulose are safely removed, with proper ventilation maintained during the process.
Upgrade: We replace with eco-friendly options like EcoGrass (Lambda 0.038 W/mK) or hemp fiber insulation, ensuring long-term efficiency.
