Extracting Old Insulation From Exterior Walls In Limerick
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 failed or damaged material from the cavity, allowing the wall to dry out and, where appropriate, be re-insulated with a fresh, high-performance product. This is a service we carry out regularly for homeowners across Limerick who are experiencing damp patches, cold walls or increasing heating costs.
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 remove the old insulation, a small number of bricks are taken out at carefully selected points along the wall and compressed air is blown into the cavity, breaking the existing material apart and driving it downward. Simultaneously, a powerful industrial vacuum collects the waste as it falls, clearing the cavity from top to bottom without affecting the structural integrity 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 insulations in Limerick, attic insulation and more.
Every extraction is carried out by an experienced, fully insured team who ensure the site is left clean and tidy upon completion. If you have concerns that the insulation in your walls has failed, or you would simply like it inspected, contact Limerick Insulation on 087 391 1659 to arrange a free inspection across Limerick.
