Extracting Old Insulation From Exterior Walls In Kildare
Over the years, the original insulation within a cavity wall can deteriorate, settle or become waterlogged, and once that occurs it loses all effectiveness and can actually start drawing moisture across the wall and into your home.
Cavity wall extraction is the process of thoroughly removing this failed or compromised material from the cavity so the wall can dry out properly and, where appropriate, be re-insulated with a fresh, high-performance product. It is a job we carry out on a regular basis for homeowners across Kildare who are experiencing damp patches, cold walls or steadily rising heating bills.
We remove all types of insulation material during extraction, including mineral wool, foam, polystyrene beads and more, which helps to prevent thermal bridging.
To extract the old insulation, we remove a small number of bricks at carefully chosen points along the wall and blow compressed air into the cavity, breaking the old material apart and driving it downwards. At the same time, a powerful industrial vacuum collects the waste as it falls, clearing the cavity from top to bottom without causing any disruption to the structure 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 Kildare, attic insulation and more.
Every extraction is carried out by an experienced, fully insured team who leave the site clean and tidy upon completion. If you are concerned that the insulation in your walls has failed, or you simply want it assessed, call Kildare Insulation on 087 391 1659 to arrange a free inspection across Kildare.
