What is Vermiculite Insulation and Why Remove It?
Vermiculite insulation was once a popular choice for attics and walls in homes across Canada, including Ottawa, Orleans, and Kanata. However, some vermiculite insulation contains asbestos, a hazardous material that poses significant health risks when disturbed. If your home in Kingston or surrounding areas was built before the 1990s, it’s essential to have your insulation tested and professionally removed if asbestos is detected.
Steps for Safe Vermiculite Insulation Removal
- Professional Testing:
Before starting removal, have your vermiculite insulation tested for asbestos by certified professionals. - Containment Setup:
Experts seal the affected area to prevent asbestos fibers from spreading during removal. - Careful Removal:
Using specialized equipment, vermiculite insulation is carefully removed and safely bagged for disposal. - Proper Disposal:
Materials are transported to licensed disposal facilities in compliance with Ontario regulations.
