Extracting Old Insulation From Exterior Walls In Westmeath
Over the years, the insulation sitting inside a cavity wall can deteriorate, settle or become waterlogged, and once that happens it loses its effectiveness and can start drawing moisture across the wall and into your home.
Cavity wall extraction involves removing this failed or compromised material from the cavity entirely, allowing the wall to dry out properly and, where appropriate, be re-insulated with a fresh, high-quality product. It is work we carry out regularly for homeowners across Westmeath who are experiencing damp patches, cold walls or climbing energy bills.
We extract all types of insulation material, including mineral wool, foam, polystyrene beads and more, helping to eliminate the risk of thermal bridging in the process.
To remove the old insulation, we take out a small number of bricks at carefully chosen points along the wall and introduce compressed air into the cavity, breaking the existing material apart and directing it downward. At the same time, a powerful industrial vacuum collects the debris as it clears, working from top to bottom without affecting the structural integrity of your home.
Once the cavity is completely clear, we reinstate the brickwork and, should you wish, refill the clean, dry cavity with new insulation material.
Alongside cavity extraction, we also offer cavity wall insulations in Westmeath, attic insulation and a range of other services.
Every extraction is carried out by an experienced, fully insured team who leave the site clean and tidy on completion.
