Extracting Old Insulation From Exterior Walls In Waterford
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 begin to draw moisture across the wall and into your home.
Cavity wall extraction is the process of thoroughly removing this failed or compromised material from the cavity, allowing the wall to dry out and, where appropriate, be re-insulated with a fresh, high-performing product. It is a service we carry out regularly for homeowners across Waterford who are experiencing damp patches, cold walls or increasing heating bills.
We remove all types of insulation material during the extraction process, including mineral wool, foam, polystyrene beads and more, which helps to prevent thermal bridging.
To extract the old insulation, we remove a small number of bricks at carefully chosen points along the wall and introduce compressed air into the cavity, breaking the old material apart and driving it downward. At the same time, a powerful industrial vacuum collects the waste as it falls, clearing the cavity from top to bottom without causing any disruption to the structure of your home.
Once the wall is completely clear, we reinstate the brickwork and, should you wish, refill the clean, dry cavity with new insulation.
Alongside cavity extraction, we offer a range of additional services including cavity wall insulation in Waterford, attic insulation and more.
Every extraction is carried out by an experienced, fully insured team who leave the site clean and tidy upon completion. If you are concerned that the insulation within your walls has failed, or you would simply like it assessed, call Waterford Insulation on 087 391 1659 to arrange a free inspection at your property in Waterford.
