When Should Insulation Be Removed?
Insulation doesn't last forever. Several situations call for removal and replacement:
- Water damage: Wet insulation loses its thermal performance and can harbor mold
- Animal contamination: Rodent droppings, nesting, and urine compromise insulation and indoor air quality
- Mold growth: Moldy insulation must be removed and the underlying issue resolved
- Settling and degradation: Older insulation compresses and loses R-value over time
- Renovation: Adding wiring, plumbing, or structural changes may require insulation removal
- Vermiculite or asbestos: Pre-1990 homes may have hazardous insulation that needs professional removal
