6. Can Attic Insulation Cause Poor Air Quality?

Yes, old attic insulation can significantly affect the air quality in your home. Over time, insulation materials like fiberglass or cellulose can break down and release dust, mold spores, and allergens into the air, which can then circulate throughout the house. These contaminants can cause respiratory issues, allergies, and overall poor air quality, especially for those with sensitivities. When we remove attic insulation as part of the cleanout process, we take extra precautions to minimize the spread of these particles. Our team uses professional tools and techniques to safely remove insulation while containing any dust or debris, helping to preserve the air quality in your home during the process. Our goal is to ensure your attic is not only cleaned but also restored to a healthier environment.
