Spray foam insulation is designed to seal air leaks and improve energy efficiency. Over time, removal may become necessary due to renovations, moisture damage, odours, or improper installation. The process, however, presents safety and indoor air quality concerns that should not be overlooked.
Mechanical removal can release fine particles and debris into the air. These materials may enter ventilation systems and circulate through homes, apartment buildings, or commercial facilities. Indoor air quality may decline if ducts and air handlers are not addressed after insulation removal.
In larger properties or occupied buildings, controlled removal methods help limit airborne contamination. Follow-up air duct cleaning helps maintain cleaner airflow and restore normal HVAC operation. A structured approach to insulation removal reduces disruption while supporting healthier indoor conditions. Read more
