Pre-sale attic work answers an inspection report that flags droppings, wet patches, settled fill or possible vermiculite in the attic. Buyers, sellers, realtors and home inspectors receive a prompt quote on paper, and the finished attic is documented in photos from start to finish for everyone in the deal.
A single line in an inspection report can stall a sale. A written quote and a clear plan often keep it moving. We carry full insurance on every job, including the ones on a deadline.
About 29% of Tillsonburg residents are 65 or older, so downsizing moves, estate sales and pre-sale inspections are a steady part of the local market. Hickory Hills, started in 1986, and Baldwin Place are both built out, and their homes now sell as resales. Most of those attics still hold insulation from when the houses went up.
A buyer's inspector may note that it has settled, that mice have been in it or that it falls well short of current levels. Taking the old layer out and blowing in a new one answers all three. Estate sales can also mean a house has sat empty for a season, which gives mice a quiet winter in the attic.
We try to get into the attic soon after the call and send a written quote that can be forwarded to the other party right away. It lists the square footage, the depth, the material leaving and anything new going in. A buyer can use it to negotiate, and a seller can use it to show the problem is being handled. Some sellers choose to have the work done before listing, and some buyers ask for a price credit instead. A written quote supports either choice.
Most removal is done in one day, and removal with re-insulation takes one to two. That fits inside most closing periods when the call comes early.
Each job is wrapped up with a set of photos showing the attic at the start and at the finish. Realtors can share them with the buyer's agent, and the next home inspector can compare them to what they see. Inspectors who refer a client to us can use the photos to close out the note in their report. If droppings were found, the photos show the attic after sanitizing, which is covered on the attic cleaning and decontamination page.
When an inspector writes down possible vermiculite, leave it exactly where it is. We get it tested, and if it comes back positive we bring in a trained asbestos abatement contractor. The vermiculite insulation removal page explains how that fits around a sale.
Call +1 (226) 400-3327 with the closing date and the wording from the report, whether the house is in Tillsonburg, Delhi, Norwich or a village nearby. We will get someone into the attic and send a written price. Everything else we do is on the home page.
Most attics need more than one of these, and a single visit can quote them together.
Attic insulation removal strips tired batts and loose-fill off the ceiling joists until only wood is left. The suction unit waits outdoors, full bags never pass through the house, and the price sheet lists area and depth. One working day covers most houses.

Blown-in insulation removal lifts out loose cellulose and fibreglass that has sunk, matted or been spoiled by mice and other animals. A powerful vacuum draws the fill through a hose from the attic to bags waiting outside, so the rooms below stay clean and the old material is gone in one day.

Attic cleaning and decontamination clears out insulation fouled by mice, squirrels, raccoons or bats. The soiled material leaves through a sealed hose, nesting and debris are picked out by hand, and the bare wood is sanitized and deodorized so the smell leaves with it.

Damaged insulation removal clears attic insulation that has been soaked by a roof leak, stained by ice dams, grown mould near a bathroom fan or taken on smoke after a fire. Wet or smoky fill cannot be dried out and trusted again, so it comes out and the wood underneath gets checked.

Vermiculite insulation removal is handled differently from every other attic job, because the material may contain asbestos. Once we spot it, work stops, a sample goes off for testing, and a trained asbestos abatement contractor is brought in only if the lab says so. No hose goes near it before then.

Attic insulation replacement puts new blown-in insulation into an attic as soon as the old layer is out, bringing it up to R-50 or R-60 in one visit. The bare floor is air sealed first, baffles keep the soffit vents clear, and the new layer goes in level from eave to eave.
