Why You Should Use Roof Vacuuming Services
Roof vacuuming can consist of either vacuuming the roof surface or vacuuming your attic space. Internal roof vacuuming can be used to remove dust and toxins from your attic. External roof vacuuming can be used to remove dirt and loose gravel from your roof. Roof vacuuming services can also include insulation removal and replacement.
Internal roof vacuuming
Dust can exist in many areas, including in ceilings, under floors and in wall cavities. The breakdown of old paint may release lead dust, which can pose serious health risks. A contractor can remove this dust safely and effectively. Additionally, insects such as dust mites can thrive in attics, and toxins from pests may also be present. There may also be animal remains or faeces present. Roof vacuuming can remove all of these.
External roof vacuuming
External roof vacuuming can be either dry or wet. Dry vacuuming is used to remove dirt and loose gravel from the surface of the roof. Wet vacuuming can be used to remove accumulated dirt from your roof through jets of water that are directed at the roof during vacuuming.
External roof vacuuming set-up
Roof vacuuming can be carried out through the use of a vacuum system which has been installed adjacent to your building. The vacuum system is attached to a nozzle which uses a hose and PVC pipe.
Insulation removal
Insulation made from various materials can be removed by your contractor. This includes cellulose fibre, fibreglass and rock wool. It is important to remove old insulation because insulation can break down into dust, which can irritate those with allergies. As insulation deteriorates it also becomes less effective at maintaining the temperature of your home.
Insulation replacement
Contractors may use polyester batts or glass wool insulation when fitting new insulation in your attic. Polyester batts reduce energy consumption and are quite effective at insulating your property. Polyester batts are allergy free and non-toxic, so they are safe to handle. Polyester batts are fire resistant and they should meet building codes. Polyester batts are resistant to vermin and insects. Additionally, polyester batts do not lose their density over time. Polyester batts also offer effective sound insulation for your property.
Glass wool insulation uses glass fibre that is bonded together by either organic materials or chemicals. Glass wool insulation can be fitted into timber or metal frames in residential properties. This includes in walls, floors and ceilings. Glass wool insulation is an effective thermal and sound insulator.
