Attic restoration in Ottawa-Gatineau

Attic Restoration

With your uninvited guest gone, it’s time to get back on track and give your attic the renovation it needs. To start off, check for signs of contamination from any unwanted wildlife – like droppings or urine. Not only are these a cause for concern when cleaning up after animals living in close quarters with you; they can also bring harmful pathogens into contact with you and yours! If need be, replace all insulation that has been tainted by our four-legged intruder before sealing them away once again.

Complete or partial replacement of the insulation for your attic restoration

After a thorough cleansing and deodorizing, our team can begin the process of replacing any badly impacted insulation in your attic or roof space. Carefully by hand we remove any material that has been exposed to animal waste while an electric atomizer delivers a fine mist disinfectant designed to reach even far-reaching cracks, crevices, and porous surfaces. This ensures every bit of impregnated urine is addressed on contact.

If you’ve noticed a long-term guest in your attic, it may be time to replace the insulation. With Aspen Wildlife Control on hand, removing and replacing your blown or sheeted material is easy and worry free! Our expert team utilizes industrial vacuum cleaners that are sure to suck away any residual mess from attics, walls and crawl spaces. On the other hand for more stubborn sheets of insulation our trusty hands take over for maximum efficiency.

There are several types of insulating materials:

Cellulose fiber or cellulosic fiber
It is the most highly recommended material in the industry due to its heat-insulating and soundproofing properties. It is also an ecological insulator that is very popular in green buildings.

Mineral wool
Mineral wool is a popular insulator, used to keep temperatures and noise levels low. However, depending on the size of its fibers, this material can potentially endanger your health.

Fiberglass
Fiberglass and glass wadding have the power to keep us cool, quiet, safe – and sound! Used as insulation in homes or offices they are an effective means of providing thermal protection while also possessing flame retardant capabilities.

Polystyrene foam
Polystyrene foam is commonly used to insulate residential buildings for its fire and moisture-resistant qualities, but unfortunately this production process uses many hazardous chemicals that can be detrimental to health and the environment. Along with polyurethane and polyisocyanurate synthetic foams, recycling of these materials tends to be difficult while also releasing toxic gasses into the atmosphere.

Tarcork felt
An insulated home is an ideal refuge from the elements, and hemp-based materials make achieving this dream a reality! Combining hemp with cork and bitumen creates an unbeatable blend of temperature regulation, soundproofing, fire resistance (a must have!) – as well as ventilation. This gives you peace of mind that any abode is safe from external forces in all seasons.

Expanded cork
Experience ultimate comfort and safety with cork insulation! Its unique properties make it an excellent choice for keeping your home warm in winter, quiet all year round, fire-resistant, breathable and durable.
