Every once in a while, comes the time in which the attic's insulation is no longer useful as it is damaged from wetness, heavy winds that tore at it, and even pests or rodents who have made it their home and weakened it in the process. When that time comes you know you must replace it. But as there are a lot of things that we surly would advise you to perform by yourself, going about your attic insulation removal all on your own, would probably not be one of them. Here's why.
Danger to yourself
First of all, removing the attic's insulation is a physically challenging task. It is located at a height, making it hard to perform and involving risk to yourself. If you don't have the equipment to ensure your safety, the danger is sevenfold. Remember, your safety is above all – don't jeopardize it for anything, as it's not even the only risk you'll be taking.
Danger to your household's members
When the time comes to replace the attic insulation at your house, it is safe to assume that the old material might be not only useless, but also damaged and perhaps infected with bacteria or mold of some sort. Why? Because if it is not efficient, it has probably allowed wetness and even rodents to go through it, which usually results in such inflictions. Now, if the old material is removed but the area is not thoroughly cleaned and the new material is installed upon the remains of the old one – the bacteria will persist, which means it will still be a health hazard to you and the rest of your house's residents, be it your family, friends, or roommates.
