Vermiculite Insulation Removal Services

Vermiculite is a mineral that puffs up into lightweight, pebble-like pieces when heated. It does not burn, which made it a popular loose-fill attic insulation for decades. The problem is not vermiculite itself. Most vermiculite insulation sold in the U.S. came from a mine near Libby, Montana that was contaminated with asbestos, so much of the vermiculite still sitting in attics today contains asbestos fibers.

ABC Environmental Contracting Services offers these vermiculite insulation services in Springfield:

 Vermiculite Insulation was considered to be perfect for attics in residential homes or even some commercial storage areas because of its fire resistance qualities, absorption characteristics, and its lightweight.

Does My House Have Vermiculite Asbestos Insulation?

It is possible, especially in older Springfield homes. Vermiculite attic insulation was widely installed from the 1940s into the 1980s, and the most common brand, Zonolite, came from the contaminated Libby mine. If your attic has loose, gray-brown or silvery granular insulation, treat it as if it contains asbestos until it has been tested. There is no need to panic if you find it. Left sealed in the attic and undisturbed, it poses little risk to the rest of the house. The danger comes from stirring it up during storage trips, remodeling or electrical work.

We had a tree fall through our roof during a storm and these guys worked for at least 12 hours straight the day after removing debris and gutting the rooms of our house that had severe rain damage. When they left late that night they were still friendly and smiling even though I knew they were dog tired! They kept showing up for the next free days making sure all our concerns were met while helping other homes that were in the same situation as us. I simply do not know how these guys kept up such a good attitude but they did! Really love this business and would highly recommend it!

How to Stay Safe Around Vermiculite Insulation

  • Do not remove or disturb vermiculite insulation yourself.
  • Keep trips into the attic to a minimum, and do not store items there.
  • Do not let children play in an attic with vermiculite insulation.
  • Seal gaps around ceiling light fixtures and attic hatches so material cannot sift into the living space.
  • Before any remodel, renovation or wiring work that could disturb the insulation, have it tested and, if needed, removed by professionals.

Do not wait until vermiculite insulation gets disturbed to deal with it. If you have questions about what is in your attic, ABC Environmental Contracting Services can inspect it, test it and, if it contains asbestos, remove it safely from your Springfield home or business. Asbestos exposure is linked to serious illnesses, including asbestosis and mesothelioma, so it is worth getting ahead of. Give us a call today.
