Cellulose insulation removal, decontamination & re-insulation specialists.
CelluloseInsulationRemoval.com exists to do one job exceptionally well: get old, contaminated, or degraded cellulose insulation safely out of your attic, decontaminate the space, and help you choose what goes back in — a straightforward trade job, start to finish.
Most insulation contractors treat removal as an occasional add-on to installation work. We built the opposite business — a national service-area team that specializes entirely in extraction, biohazard handling, and attic decontamination, because a rodent-contaminated attic and a fresh installation job are not the same skill set.

Why removal is its own specialty
Cellulose insulation ages in three ways that don't show from the attic hatch: it settles and compacts, it goes through moisture cycling that raises mold risk, and its borate fire retardant leaches out gradually with age and humidity. None of that has a single visible failure point, which is exactly why removal gets overlooked for years compared to something like a roof or a water heater.
Add a rodent infestation, a roof leak, or a documented history of moisture, and the job changes entirely — from a straightforward tear-out to a biohazard-handling project that needs PPE, negative-pressure containment, and a decontamination pass before anything new goes in. We built our entire process, equipment, and crew training around telling those situations apart and handling each one correctly, rather than running every job the same way.
We also stay in our lane. If a roof leak or plumbing issue caused the moisture damage in the first place, we'll flag it clearly and point you to the right trade to fix it — our job is the insulation and the attic, not the source of the leak.

One visit, start to finish
We don't split removal, decontamination, and re-insulation across separate contractors and separate trips whenever we can avoid it. A vacuum truck extracts the old material under negative pressure, the crew decontaminates the space when contamination calls for it, and fresh insulation goes back in — usually the same visit, so your attic isn't left empty and exposed in between.
That coordination matters most on the jobs that involve real contamination. A rodent-driven job needs HEPA vacuuming of framing and decking, enzymatic odor treatment, and antimicrobial fogging before re-insulation makes sense; a mold job needs the moisture source identified and flagged even though we're not the ones fixing the leak. Handling the whole sequence as one coordinated project, rather than a series of separate calls, is what keeps the result actually clean.
What you can expect from us
Removal-first specialists
We don't sell a general insulation package — removal, decontamination, and re-insulation is the entire business, so every truck and crew is built around it.
Biohazard-aware, every time
Rodent droppings, mold, and aged fire-retardant material each carry different handling requirements. We identify which one you're dealing with before we ever quote the job.
Clean-air process
Negative-pressure, HEPA-filtered vacuum extraction keeps contaminated material contained on the truck instead of loose in your living space.
Straight talk, no runaround
A trade service from start to finish — nothing to file, nobody to negotiate with, just a clear quote and a job done right.
