New insulation installation after removal
A proven, methodical approach refined over 20+ years of professional installation.
We inspect your attic insulation and, if vermiculite is identified, arrange for laboratory testing to confirm asbestos content and determine the appropriate removal protocol.
Full containment barriers are erected, HEPA-filtered negative air machines are installed, and the work area is isolated to prevent fiber migration into occupied spaces.
Vermiculite is carefully extracted using wet methods and HEPA vacuums, double-bagged in approved containers, and transported to a licensed disposal facility.
Post-removal air monitoring confirms safe fiber levels before containment is removed. The cleared attic is then ready for new, safe insulation installation.
Vermiculite is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used as loose-fill attic insulation in homes built before 1990. The problem: over 70% of vermiculite sold in the United States came from the W.R. Grace mine in Libby, Montana, which was contaminated with tremolite asbestos. The most common brand, Zonolite, is found in an estimated 35 million American homes — including many in the Denver metro area. If your Denver home has pebble-like, gold-brown loose-fill insulation in the attic, it may be vermiculite. The EPA recommends assuming any vermiculite insulation may contain asbestos and advises against disturbing it without professional assessment and removal. Asbestos fibers, when inhaled, can cause mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer — making proper removal a critical health and safety issue. Sky Insulation provides vermiculite and asbestos-containing insulation removal following all CDPHE (Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment) and EPA protocols. Our process includes proper containment, HEPA-filtered air management, careful extraction, air monitoring, and compliant disposal at licensed facilities.
Asbestos fibers cause mesothelioma and lung cancer. Our compliant removal protocols protect your family from these serious, irreversible health risks.
We follow all CDPHE and EPA requirements for asbestos-containing material removal — proper containment, air monitoring, and licensed disposal.
Full containment barriers and HEPA-filtered negative air machines prevent asbestos fibers from migrating into your living space during removal.
We provide full documentation including lab test results, air monitoring data, and disposal manifests for your records and any real estate transactions.
Vermiculite insulation looks like small, pebble-like granules — typically gold, brown, or gray in color. It is most commonly found as loose-fill insulation in the attics of homes built before 1990. If you're unsure, we can inspect and identify it during a free assessment.
Not all vermiculite contains asbestos, but the EPA estimates that over 70% of vermiculite sold in the US came from the Libby, Montana mine, which was contaminated with tremolite asbestos. The EPA recommends treating all vermiculite insulation as potentially containing asbestos until tested.
Yes. We can arrange for laboratory analysis of your vermiculite insulation to determine whether it contains asbestos. Testing involves collecting a small sample and sending it to a certified lab. Results typically take a few business days.
Our containment and air management protocols are designed to prevent fiber migration into occupied areas. However, we typically recommend occupants stay in other areas of the home or leave during active removal as a precaution.
