Removing Old Insulation From Exterior Walls In Carlow
Over the years, the original insulation within a cavity wall can deteriorate, settle or become waterlogged, and once this occurs it loses its effectiveness and can actually start drawing moisture across the wall and into your home.
Cavity wall extraction involves completely clearing this failed or compromised material from the cavity so the wall can thoroughly dry out and, where appropriate, be re-insulated with a fresh, high-performance product. This is a service we regularly carry out for homeowners across Carlow who are experiencing damp patches, cold walls or escalating heating bills.
We extract all types of insulation material during the removal process, including mineral wool, foam, polystyrene beads and more, which helps prevent thermal bridging.
To remove the old insulation, we take out a small number of bricks at carefully selected points along the wall and direct compressed air into the cavity, breaking down the old material and pushing it downward. Simultaneously, a powerful industrial vacuum collects the waste as it descends, clearing the cavity from top to bottom without disrupting the structure of your home.
Once the wall is entirely clear, we restore the brickwork and, should you wish, refill the clean, dry cavity with new insulation.
Alongside cavity extraction, we also provide additional services including cavity wall insulations in Carlow, attic insulation and much more.
Every extraction is completed by an experienced, fully insured team who ensure the site is left clean and tidy upon finishing.
