What has to come out
In Boca Raton the fill comes out when a roof leak has soaked the batts, when mold is growing on the insulation, or when droppings and nesting are packed into it. East Boca, 33432 and the shop ZIP 33431, is where the wet plaster lid shows up. West of I-95, 33433, 33496, and 33498, the usual ruined layer is a settled batt that a later leak turned into a mat.
What stays
A dry 1970s or 1980s batt stays. Four inches of dry fiberglass is about R-9. That is a top-up to R-38, not a tear-out. Tearing out dry fill to sell a bigger ticket is not the job. Century Village and other condominiums with no attic are not booked as a removal.
Getting the bags out
East Boca hatches are often in the garage and tight under barrel tile. The bags have to come down that same opening. A plaster ceiling under a soaked batt is fragile. We do not walk the joists and hope the lid holds. If the hatch cannot pass a bag, we say so before the truck is loaded.
How the day goes
Look
The hatch in Boca Raton gets opened before a truck is promised. Depth, moisture, and whether the mess is the whole attic or one bay.
Protect
The rooms under the hatch get covered. The bags stay on the path that was agreed. A plaster or wood lid that is already soft stops the day.
Remove
Ruined fill is vacuumed into bags and hauled off. The deck should be visible where the bad fill was. Dry fill next to it is not taken just to make the attic look empty.
Next
Sanitizing only if the insulation was contaminated. Then the holes that are finally visible get sealed. Then new insulation to R-38. Those are not one price.
After the deck is bare
Once the deck is bare, the leak or the bath fan that caused the mess still has to be fixed. Sanitizing is a separate price, and only after the bad fill is gone. New blown-in is a third price. The shop for this work is 4263 NW 1st Ave, Boca Raton, FL 33431. Call (561) 654-7698.
