Our Services include:
Attic Insulation Removal
Our attic insulation removal service safely eliminates old materials that might contain dust, animal droppings, or allergens. We use high-powered vacuum systems with special filters to prevent particles from spreading through your Newport News home.
Crawl Space Insulation Removal
Wet or damaged sub-floor insulation can lead to unpleasant smells, reduced energy efficiency, and even structural problems. Our team completely removes all affected materials from beneath your home, preparing the space for fresh, effective insulation that properly protects your Newport News property.
Universal Pest Guard Insulation™ Installation
After removal, we install our exclusive Universal Pest Guard Insulation™ that provides dual benefits – improved home comfort plus protection against common pests like roaches, ants, and silverfish. This special cellulose insulation includes a borate treatment that helps control insect populations.

Our sanitizing treatment is a vital step following contaminated insulation removal. This specialized fogging process eliminates harmful microorganisms, neutralizes odors, and removes allergens before we install new insulation in your Newport News home.

Why Newport News Homeowners Need Insulation Removal
Shipyard and Industrial Proximity Effects
Newport News’s major shipbuilding industry and manufacturing facilities can impact nearby homes with increased dust and particulate matter that settles in attic insulation over time. This buildup can affect indoor air quality and reduce insulation effectiveness. Our removal service eliminates contaminated materials completely, allowing for fresh, clean insulation installation.
Peninsula Weather Challenges
Newport News’s location between the James River and Hampton Roads Harbor exposes homes to humidity, occasional flooding, and moisture issues that can compromise insulation. When insulation becomes wet or compressed, it loses its thermal resistance properties. Our team removes damaged materials entirely, creating a clean slate for properly rated replacement insulation suited for our coastal Virginia climate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I know if the insulation in my Hilton Village home needs removal?
Look for signs like uneven indoor temperatures, higher energy bills, visible moisture stains on ceilings, musty odors, or evidence of pests in your attic. In historic Hilton Village homes, outdated insulation materials might not meet current efficiency standards, making replacement beneficial even without obvious damage.
Can you work in older homes like those in the North End/Huntington Heights area?
Absolutely! We specialize in working with both historic and modern homes throughout Newport News. For older properties in areas like North End/Huntington Heights, our technicians take extra care with historic features while still providing thorough insulation removal and replacement services.
Will removing old insulation help with my energy bills in Denbigh?
Yes! Many Newport News homeowners in Denbigh and throughout the city see noticeable reductions in heating and cooling costs after proper insulation removal and replacement. By eliminating compressed or damaged insulation and installing materials with appropriate R-values for our climate zone, your HVAC system won’t have to work as hard.
How do you handle insulation removal in homes near the water in Riverside?
For waterfront Riverside homes and other Newport News properties near water, we take extra precautions to check for moisture damage and salt air effects. Our team completely removes compromised materials and recommends replacement insulation specifically rated for coastal environments to provide lasting protection.
Does Newport News require permits for insulation work?
Most basic insulation removal and replacement projects in Newport News don’t require permits. However, if your project involves structural modifications, electrical work, or other major changes, permits may be necessary. Our team understands Newport News permitting requirements and can guide you through the process if needed.
How long will the insulation removal process take in my City Center condo?
For most City Center condos and similar-sized Newport News properties, insulation removal typically takes 1-2 days. Larger homes or those with complicated access may require additional time.
