Allow an experienced professional to handle the removal of your attic insulation. Many problems can occur if you attempt the removal yourself especially if you don’t have the right protection and expertise. Because most are not aware of the visual signs of potential dangerous insulation materials, one can easily come in contact with asbestos and old fiberglass products which can be fatal if one is not wearing the correct protective equipment. Many times pests or rodents have made a home in your insulation, turning your insulation in to a toxic playground where if moved the dust and fecal matter can cause potential fatal diseases. Another common mistake made when the homeowner attempts to remove blown in insulation is because this type of insulation can be higher than the joist in your ceiling which of course makes it hard to see where one is walking. Inevitably one may want to attempt removing the loose fill or batts but when attempted could step right through ones celling and cause expensive accidental damage.
