Our Services include:
Attic Insulation Removal
Our attic insulation removal service safely extracts old materials that might contain dust, animal waste, or allergens. We use powerful vacuum systems with special filters to capture even tiny particles before they can spread through your Suffolk home.
Crawl Space Insulation Removal
Damaged sub-floor insulation can cause musty odors, wasted energy, and even structural problems. Our team thoroughly removes all affected materials from beneath your home, preparing the space for fresh, effective insulation that will better protect your Suffolk property.
Universal Pest Guard Insulation™ Installation
After removal, we install our exclusive Universal Pest Guard Insulation™ that serves two important purposes – it improves your home’s comfort while helping to control common pests like roaches, ants, and silverfish. This special cellulose insulation includes a borate treatment that insects carry back to their nesting areas.
Sanitize & Disinfectant Treatment
Our sanitizing treatment is a crucial step after removing contaminated insulation. This specialized fogging application kills germs, eliminates odors, and removes allergens before we install new insulation in your Suffolk home.

Complete your home’s health upgrade with thorough air duct cleaning that removes years of accumulated dust and contaminants from your heating and cooling system. We use camera inspection technology to ensure every part of your ductwork is properly cleaned.

Why Suffolk Homes Need Insulation Removal
Rural and Urban Mix Challenges
Suffolk’s unique blend of urban neighborhoods and rural properties means homes face varied challenges that can impact insulation. Rural homes may experience more wildlife intrusions, while urban areas might have older properties with outdated insulation materials. Our removal service addresses all these situations, eliminating damaged or ineffective insulation completely to prepare for fresh materials suited to your specific Suffolk location.
Historic and New Construction Considerations
Suffolk’s rich history means there’s a mix of historic homes and new construction throughout the area. Each presents different insulation challenges – older homes may have deteriorated or inadequate insulation, while even newer builds might have builder-grade materials that don’t perform optimally. Our careful removal process works well for both vintage and modern properties, preserving character while improving energy efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I know if my historic Downtown Suffolk home needs insulation removal?
Look for signs like uneven temperatures between rooms, rising energy bills, musty odors, visible moisture stains, or evidence of pests in your attic or crawl space. Historic Downtown Suffolk homes often have older insulation materials that may have deteriorated significantly over time, making removal and replacement particularly beneficial.
Will removing old insulation help with the temperature fluctuations in my North Suffolk home?
Yes! Many North Suffolk homeowners notice significantly more consistent indoor temperatures after proper insulation removal and replacement. Old, compressed, or damaged insulation creates thermal bridges that allow heat to escape in winter and enter in summer. Our removal and replacement service eliminates these problem areas for more comfortable year-round living.
How do you protect the historical features of my Chuckatuck area home during insulation removal?
For historic Chuckatuck homes and throughout Suffolk, we take extra precautions when working around period features. Our technicians are trained in preservation awareness and use specialized techniques to access insulation without damaging architectural elements. We carefully seal off work areas and use equipment specifically designed for older home structures.
Is insulation removal messy or disruptive for my family in Nansemond River?
We work hard to minimize disruption for Nansemond River families and throughout Suffolk. Our specialized equipment contains the removal process, and most homeowners can remain in their homes during the work. The process typically generates some noise during working hours, but we clean thoroughly afterward and most customers are surprised by how clean and efficient the process is.
How does your insulation removal help with the humidity common in Suffolk's climate?
Suffolk’s humidity can compromise insulation effectiveness over time, leading to moisture issues and reduced performance. Our complete removal process eliminates materials that may have absorbed moisture or been damaged by humidity. After removal, we recommend and install insulation types specifically rated for our region’s climate conditions, often improving moisture control significantly.
Do you work with Suffolk's permit requirements for older homes or historic districts?
Absolutely! We’re familiar with Suffolk’s permitting processes, especially for historic district properties. While most basic insulation removal and replacement doesn’t require permits, we can help navigate any necessary approvals for homes in designated historic areas or when additional structural work is needed.
How long will my Suffolk home's new insulation last after proper removal of the old materials?
With proper installation following thorough removal, new insulation in Suffolk homes typically lasts 15-25 years depending on the material chosen and environmental factors. Our exclusive Pest Guard Insulation with its borate treatment often provides extended performance compared to standard insulation. The careful preparation we do during the removal phase significantly extends the life and effectiveness of your new insulation.
