Attic Insulation Replacement | Manassas, VA | Summit Environmental

Summit Environmental Solutions offers top of the line attic insulation replacement services in Manassas, VA. Insulation is a material placed inside attics, walls, crawl spaces, roofs and floors that acts as a barrier against heat. Insulation keeps hot air out of the home during the summer, and prevents hot air from escaping the home during the winter. Proper attic insulation can improve your energy efficiency, making your home more comfortable and reducing your reliance on heating and AC. Unfortunately, 90% of single-family homes in America are not properly insulated. Attic insulation can get damaged by pests and wildlife, saturated and moldy from roof leaks, or just settle and become less effective with age.

Types of Attic Insulation

Summit offers a variety of insulation types, each designed to meet the specific needs of your home, preferences, and installation location. For your attic insulation project in Manassas, we work with the following options: 

Blanket insulation (batted or rolls): large fiberglass or cellulose blankets/rolls, typically pink and yellow in color. Perfect for large, flat areas of the attic, this material is probably what comes to mind when you picture insulation. 

Loose fill/blown-in (cellulose): this type of insulation is made out of shredded cellulose material, blown into the attic in piles. Loose-fill insulation can be added to older insulation to revitalize it, and it’s perfect for getting inside areas that blanket insulation can’t reach.    

Spray foam: a spray-on type of foam insulation that hardens fast, forming an airtight, insulating barrier. Spray foam is perfect for sealing gaps, and for insulating smaller or awkward areas that blanketed insulation can’t fit into. 

Foam board or rigid foam: Flat, rigid, highly effective foam boards, these are ideal for insulating walls.

Attic Insulation Removal  | Damaged Insulation Removal 

Do you need your attic insulation removed in the Manassas area? We can help. Attic insulation is often damaged through pests, wildlife, roof leaks, and even old age. Attics provide a perfect spot for wildlife like raccoons, squirrels, and bats to nest and have their babies. The same goes for pests like mice and rats. Raccoons and squirrels will rip up your insulation to make their nests, often soiling it with their urine and droppings. Mice will ruin your insulation’s ability to resist heat by digging tunnels throughout it. If you have a roof leak, then the rainwater that is infiltrating the attic will dampen and saturate the insulation, not only lessening its ability to resist heat but also resulting in mold growth. Mold growing inside the attic can affect the air quality in your home, as high levels of mold will lead to health issues for you and your family. Sometimes insulation doesn’t get damaged at all, and just slowly settles over time, becoming less effective. 

No matter what is causing your attic insulation to stop working, Summit Environmental Solutions can help. We can safely remove damaged or settled attic insulation in the Manassas area, sanitize the area, and replace the insulation with newer, highly effective material.
