Attic Insulation Top-Up
An attic insulation top-up lays new loose fill over the layer you have now until the whole attic reads R-60. When the existing layer is dry and sound, it is the fastest way to warm the top floor.

Attic Insulation Removal In The Ottawa Valley, Ontario
Ontario attic rebates up to $1,250 may applyAttic insulation removal clears out old material that is wet, mouldy, crushed flat or soiled by animals, so new fill can go onto a clean attic floor. Blowing over a ruined layer only hides the trouble.
Attic insulation removal runs on a large vacuum mounted on our truck. A wide hose reaches up through the hatch, and the old material rides out to bags at the curb without passing through your rooms. Then the attic floor is swept, sealed and ready for a fresh layer.
Attic Insulation Removal details
Signs Your Attic Needs Insulation Removal
Attic insulation removal is the right call when the old layer is stained by roof leaks, smells musty or holds droppings from mice, squirrels or raccoons. It also fits when sawdust or old fill has turned into a damp, matted crust.
In a farmhouse, clearing the old fill is often step one before the wall tops can be sealed, because the old fill hides the gaps.
How Attic Insulation Removal Keeps The House Clean
Runners go down from the entry to the hatch, and plastic covers anything below the opening. Where the hose enters the house, the opening is taped tight so dust stays in the hose. Full bags are loaded and hauled away.
Vermiculite is never part of ordinary attic insulation removal. If we see it, work stops until a lab test is done, as the vermiculite attic insulation page explains.
What Follows Attic Insulation Removal
With the floor bare, every leak is easy to find and close. Then new loose fill is blown to R-60. See attic air sealing for the openings we close before the new layer.
Attic Insulation Removal Price
In Ontario, attic insulation removal alone runs about $1.50 to $3.50 for each square foot of ceiling. Removal followed by new fill to R-60 runs about $3.00 to $5.75. Disposal and the drive out are already in the quote.

Jobs That Pair Well With This One
Sealing, baffles and new fill usually travel together, and one drive out covers all of them.
Blown-In Cellulose Insulation
Cellulose insulation is blown loose over the attic floor, where it drapes around wires, braces and low eaves that a batt cannot reach. It suits the uneven, crowded attics of older valley houses.

Farmhouse Attic Insulation
Farmhouse attic insulation begins by sealing the open wall tops and board ceilings that let heat pour into an old attic, then lays deep loose fill on top. It is the job old valley farmhouses need most.

Vermiculite Attic Insulation
Vermiculite insulation needs a lab test before anyone disturbs it, because some of it contains asbestos. Testing comes first, clean-out second and new attic insulation last.

Attic Air Sealing
Attic air sealing closes the holes in your ceiling where warm house air drifts up into the attic. It always comes before new fill, since insulation slows heat but lets moving air pass.

Ice Dam Prevention
Ice dam prevention keeps the roof cold from underneath by sealing air leaks, opening the soffit vents and adding attic insulation to R-60. Stop the melt in the attic and the ice stops building at the edge.

Attic Insulation For Propane And Oil Heated Homes
Air sealing and attic insulation cut how much propane or oil a rural house burns each winter, because less heat escapes upward. The savings count for more when the fuel costs more.
