Your utility expenditures can be significantly reduced if your home is well-insulated and well-sealed. According to the EPA, homeowners may save 15% on heating and cooling costs by air sealing their homes and adding insulation to attics, floors over crawl spaces, and basements. I'm willing to wager that just attic insulation in Hampton would save even more than the national average.

Insulation keeps pests, dust, pollen, and noise out, in addition to controlling temperature and humidity and saving energy. Consider sleeping through the morning rush hour in your neighborhood. This is largely due to enough insulation, the suitable type, and proper installation. We know exactly how to complete the task at hand. And for a tenth of the cost of some competitors' products.

Insulate your home in the winter to keep it warm and cool in the summer. When correctly placed, insulation can provide both comfort and cost savings, particularly during the hottest and coldest months of the year.

Insulation can deteriorate or get damaged over time due to excessive moisture exposure, mold growth, dust and dirt collection, or pest infestation. If your old attic insulation has shifted or become damaged, our crew can expertly remove it while also preserving your house from contaminants and preparing the attic space for new insulation. In most circumstances, you won't need to remove insulation because it should last a lifetime if placed properly. Let's be honest with one other: if it doesn't require it, we'll tell you. If insulation removal is required, we can explain why and how it will affect you! In a city as competitive as Hampton is, we rely on our good name.

Hiring the proper business with the correct tools for the job will have a significant impact on the comfort in your home, such as having a cold spot of the house during winter. Insulation's strands are designed to trap dust, grime, and contaminants. There's a good chance that your old insulation could be dangerous at times. Mold and asbestos are examples of pollutants that should be treated with caution and replaced as soon as possible. It is not possible to dispose of old insulation in the trash. Our experts will appropriately dispose of it while according to local disposal requirements.

Spray Foam Insulation, But it's Eco-Friendly!

Spray Foam Insulation (SFI) is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution. It significantly decreases your negative influence on the environment. A properly sealed home reduces the amount of oil consumed to generate electricity and the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere. This will help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which cause global warming and ozone depletion. Every little bit counts and can help to ensure that our planet's resources are preserved for future generations.

More Attic Insulation?

If you've come to this website, you almost certainly have a lot of questions. Is it necessary to insulate the attic? If that's the case, how much do I need? What is the state of my insulation now? Is there such a thing as too much insulation? The list could continue indefinitely. So, we'll break everything down for you in simple, easy-to-understand terms, and you can decide for yourself. Calculating your R-Value is the most important step in determining the what, when, where, and why of insulation.

R-Value
R-Value is the most important metric for determining insulation performance. Consider the following examples of clothing: a rain jacket has a low R-Value, whereas a winter jacket with goose feathers has a higher R-Value. The higher the R-Value, the more important it is in extreme temperatures (hot or cold). Using the chart below, compare the R-Values of common building materials.

What is the difference between the various forms of insulation? You can determine your current R-value in your attic using this table and a tape measure. The R-3 rating of blown fiberglass (the most popular attic insulation) is a good illustration. If you have ten inches, simply multiply by ten to get R-30. The only remaining question is whether R-30 is adequate.

If your home was built between 1970 and 2012, you most likely have insulation ranging from 6 inches (about R-18) to 10 inches (around R-30′). If this is the case, extra insulation will surely be beneficial. It's also simple to overlook crawl space insulation service. It's possible that it doesn't have any. Most insulation contractors nowadays will add 14-15 inches of insulation to achieve an R-38 rating, but in most areas, that is the absolute minimum. Even if you already have a lot of insulation in your attic, adding more can assist. If you call us today, we have a fantastic insulation installation team that can assist you with the technicalities. You can tell we enjoy discussing about insulation to help if you've read this far. Let's talk more over the phone!

Additional Reasons For More Insulation
Examine the coverage of your current insulation. Are there any voids in your view? Is there any insulation that has low places or gaps? This is especially common with batt insulation, as the pieces do not always contact or entirely fill the hole. Insulation that is wet or infested by animals: The R-Value has been lowered if there has been a leak or if rodents have soiled/urinated on the insulation. Additionally, odors, bacteria, and diseases may find their way into your home. Animal removal, insulation removal, sealing of animal access sites, and antibacterial treatment are all necessary precautions to perform before adding insulation. This job, including the installation of new insulation, can usually be completed in 1-2 days. Knee Walls: If your home has raised ceilings or varying degrees of ceiling height, it can have a big impact on your heat protection. New Roofing: Many times, after getting a roofing service, the existing insulation may have been exposed to the elements or removed. The humidity alone may cause mold and needs to be checked out.

Decking: If you have decking (plywood set down for storage) that was installed after the home was completed, the insulation was most likely brushed away to make it easier to lay down the boards. Without moving a single board, we can remedy this problem by densely injecting insulation beneath the decking. You can now decide whether or not your attic is appropriately insulated with all of this information at your disposal. If this is not the case, please contact us. Alternatively, if you have any questions or concerns, please give us a call and we'll be pleased to help.

Insulation Removal?

Is there any old, filthy insulation that has to be removed? Do you need an extraction and are ready to switch to foam? Or do you think you have asbestos-containing old-style vermiculite insulation? We have the experience to finish any insulation removal process at Expert Insulation. We can even replace it with better-performing insulation once we're done.

Insulation may usually endure the whole life of a house. External variables, unfortunately, can weaken, if not entirely destroy, the efficiency of your insulation. The following is a list of some of the most common reasons why insulation has to be removed:

• Vermiculite/Asbestos. From the 1960s to the 1990s, vermiculite was a type of asbestos-containing insulation. Vermiculite insulation is a pebble-like insulation that is poured in and looks like little grey rocks. This type of insulation must be handled with extreme attention due to the health risks.

• Water Damage. When water comes into touch with your insulation, it not only reduces the R-Value (insulation strength), but it also creates an ideal environment for mold and mildew to grow. Liquid tends to settle and stagnate because it has a hard time evaporating through insulation. Roof leaks, plumbing leaks, and condensing and leaking water from exposed hvac ducts are all major causes of damp insulation. Before mold spreads throughout your home, it's vital to handle this problem as quickly as possible.

• Animal/Insect Invasion. If animals or insects decide to make your insulation their new home, there isn't much you can do, especially if it's been a long-standing problem. Rats and mice like to eat the paper insulation on batts, whereas roaches like to skitter across the tops, leaving their food behind. If you don't discover it right away, you'll be dealing with a scenario that will necessitate complete removal and suction.

Should I remove my old insulation?
In the vast majority of cases, the answer is no. The only time it needs to be removed is when your roof deck is being spray foamed. If you're replacing traditional insulation, you can leave the old in place to help the new insulation's R-Value. If you're considering spray foam, we offer a low-cost foam solution that is a fraction of the cost of foaming the roof deck.

Despite the fact that attics are the most common place for removals, we can get it out of almost anywhere. We can remove insulation from crawlspaces and even walls if you're performing a wall off makeover.

Fixing and bringing your attic up to code is a must in the north, but did you realize that the crawl space might be just as vital depending on where you live? Before we get into the repairs and improvements you may have made to your crawl space, let's take a look at some of the problems you may be having in your home that you aren't aware are related to your crawl space insulation.

Poor Air Quality. The air quality beneath your property may have a direct impact on the air quality within your home. Floors are permeable membranes that absorb and pass through whatever they come into contact with on the other side. If your crawlspace has stagnant air and mold, it is most certainly harming the air quality in your home.

High Energy Bills. This is especially true in older homes and during the colder months. Crawlspaces can transfer temperature through the floor, especially when it's cold outside. Brr!

Buckling Floors. One of two things commonly causes buckling or warping floors. One: The foundation that is in some way failing. Two: increasing the amount of moisture in the crawlspace, causing the subfloor/floor to saturate and flex.

While it may appear that treating or preventing these problems is a major undertaking, two of them may be managed with one solution: crawlspace encapsulation.

Moisture under the house is typically the source of poor air quality and falling floorboards. Even if there is no water piling up or spots where rain might enter the crawl space, water can enter through the block foundation or the earth itself.

The second issue that may occur in the winter is a very cold floor. This can be reduced by simply insulating the foundation of the house to keep cool air out. ​
