Does My Insulation Need To Be Removed & Replaced?
Well-installed insulation can last as long as 100 years, depending on the type. But over time, it can compress and lose efficiency. In many cases, insulation can be added to restore insulation properties. If it’s damaged, insulation should be professionally removed and replaced.
Insulation removal is not a DIY (do-it-yourself) job. Without the proper protective gear and the right tools, it’s dangerous. Airborne contaminants can jeopardize your family’s health. Fiberglass particles can cause serious lung damage.
It’s also an incredibly messy job. If you begin a DIY insulation removal project, you’ll quickly wish you hadn’t.

Signs You Should Add Insulation
Measure the thickness of your insulation to determine if you need more. If it measures less than 13 inches, the R-value is likely too low and you need to add more.
If you suspect your home is under-insulated, an energy assessment is a good idea. You’ll learn the existing R-values and which areas of your home are under-insulated.
One clue your home is under-insulated is an influx of pests. Insects and rodents enter through openings throughout your home. Those openings need to be sealed.
You can also do the touch test. Place your hands on the walls throughout your home. They should feel warm and dry. If you detect moisture or they feel cold, your home is under-insulated. The same is true for exterior walls. If they feel warm to the touch, they’re under-insulated and losing energy.
Other signs you need to add insulation to undamaged insulation include:
- Attic/roof leaks
- Drafts of cool air in winter/warm air in summer
- Fluctuating indoor temperatures
- Frozen pipes
- Ice dams in winter
- Some rooms too cold/too hot
- Too-high monthly energy bills
Adding insulation can be fast and affordable! Call (920) 458-8188 or contact Alpine Insulation.
