Vermiculite Insulation Removal in Surrey, BC
Vermiculite & Attic Insulation Removal in Surrey
Vermiculite insulation removal in Surrey is the safe extraction of loose, pebbly attic insulation that may contain asbestos. Much of the vermiculite installed in older homes was contaminated at the source. We use HEPA vacuums and sealed containment to remove it without contaminating your home, then dispose of it at a certified facility.
If your attic has loose, grey-brown pebbly insulation, that's vermiculite. A large share of it was contaminated with asbestos before anyone knew the risk. The advice is simple: don't disturb it, don't store things on top of it, and don't let anyone go poking around up there.
We test it first, then remove it with HEPA vacuums under proper containment so fibres never make it into your living space.
