Our Services include:
Attic Insulation Removal
Our attic insulation removal process safely takes out old insulation that may be filled with dust, allergens, or pest waste. We use powerful vacuum systems that prevent contaminants from spreading through your Norfolk home.
Crawl Space Insulation Removal
Damp or damaged sub-floor insulation can cause musty smells, mold growth, and even structural damage. We carefully remove all compromised materials from your crawl space to prepare for fresh, effective insulation.
Universal Pest Guard Insulation™ Installation
After thorough removal, we install our Universal Pest Guard Insulation™ that does double duty – it keeps your home comfortable while helping to control pests like roaches, ants, and silverfish that often nest in attics and crawl spaces.
Sanitize & Disinfectant Treatment
Our sanitizing treatment is a crucial step we take after removing contaminated insulation. This fogging application kills bacteria, eliminates odors, and removes allergens before we install fresh insulation.
Air Duct Cleaning
Complete your home’s health makeover with air duct cleaning to remove years of dust and debris from your HVAC system. We use special cameras to see inside ducts and ensure thorough cleaning.

Why Norfolk Homeowners Need Insulation Removal
Pest Infestations
When rodents, squirrels, or insects invade your attic or crawl space, they leave behind droppings, urine, and nesting materials. These contaminants can affect your family’s health as they release particles into your air. Our Norfolk insulation removal team removes all affected materials completely before sanitizing the space to eliminate health hazards.
Water and Moisture Damage
Norfolk’s coastal location means homes often face high humidity and occasional flooding. When insulation gets wet, it loses effectiveness and can become a breeding ground for mold. Our specialized equipment removes wet, compressed insulation that no longer protects your home, creating a clean slate for new, effective insulation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How can I tell if my Norfolk home needs insulation removal?
Look for signs like uneven temperatures between rooms, higher energy bills, visible moisture or mold, pest activity, or insulation that appears compressed or discolored. Norfolk’s coastal climate can be especially hard on insulation, so homes in areas like Ocean View may need more frequent insulation assessment.
Will removing old insulation help with my allergies in my Ghent neighborhood home?
Yes, many Norfolk residents experience allergy relief after insulation removal and replacement. Old insulation can trap dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander that circulate through your home. Our thorough removal and sanitizing process eliminates these allergens, potentially improving indoor air quality in your Ghent residence.
How messy is the insulation removal process for my Colonial Place home?
Our specialized equipment makes insulation removal surprisingly clean. We use professional-grade vacuum systems with sealed containment bags to prevent dust and debris from entering your living spaces. Our Norfolk technicians also lay protective coverings and clean up thoroughly after the job is complete.
What happens to wildlife or pests during insulation removal in Larchmont homes?
If active wildlife is present, we recommend having them professionally removed before insulation work begins. For insect pests in Larchmont or other Norfolk neighborhoods, our removal process typically eliminates them along with the contaminated insulation. Our Pest Guard Insulation then helps prevent future infestations.
Do you offer payment plans for insulation removal in Norfolk?
Yes! We understand insulation removal can be an unexpected expense for Norfolk homeowners. Universal Insulation Doctor offers our Smart-Pay option, which allows you to spread payments over 24 months. This way, you can start enjoying the benefits of proper insulation while managing your budget.
How does Norfolk's humidity affect the insulation removal process?
Norfolk’s high humidity levels make proper insulation crucial. When removing insulation in humid conditions, we take special care to check for hidden moisture damage and mold growth. Our sanitizing treatment addresses any mold concerns before installing new moisture-resistant insulation suited for Norfolk’s climate zone.
Do I need to leave my East Beach home during insulation removal?
Most Norfolk homeowners can stay in their homes during the insulation removal process. Our contained system minimizes dust and disruption. The work is primarily confined to attic or crawl space areas, though there might be some noise during working hours. For those sensitive to dust, leaving during the actual removal portion might be more comfortable.
