Full insulation removal & re-insulation
- The problem
- Flattened, dusty insulation with signs of old rodent activity. Back bedrooms never cooled down.
- What we did
- Old insulation vacuumed out, attic sanitized, air leaks sealed, fresh blown-in installed.
A look at recent Heat Hunters jobs around Tampa Bay: attics, homes and commercial buildings. What was wrong, what we did about it, and how it turned out.
Every job starts with an inspection and ends with a clean-up. Here's what happens in between.






Floor runners and covers from the door to the work area.
So you can see exactly what was done, even in places you never go.
Leakage tested so results are measured, not guessed.
We leave your home or building tidier than we found it.
My family loves how comfy it is in here now! We chose both closed cell and open cell foam for our attic. Now we have a hurricane proof roof and there is way less noise from the planes overhead!
The tech showed up on time, protected the house, and explained each part of the test as we went. Seeing the gauge readings and smoke path at problem spots finally made sense of our high bills. Instead of pushing a one-size-fits-all solution, they gave us a ranked list of actions with clear tradeoffs. We chose a modest first step and monitored our bill for two months. Noticeably lower and the back bedroom is comfortable again. I wish every home service started with this level of measurement and transparency.
We'd had three different companies tell us three different stories. Heat Hunters was the only one that measured our home as a system. The photos and leak metrics made the decision obvious and took the fear out of it. We appreciated how they never tried to push us into anything; they just showed the facts and let us choose. The plan let us phase things in around our budget. The house is cooler with shorter AC run times already.
Old insulation is often flattened, patchy, damp or contaminated with dust and rodent waste. Piling new material on top buries those problems and blocks access to the air leaks underneath. Removing it lets us sanitize, seal the leaks properly, then re-insulate on a clean base, so you get the full benefit of the new insulation.
A Heat Hunters tech checks your attic, insulation and AC, takes photos of what's up there and walks you through them. You get clear options and same-day pricing. If nothing needs doing, we'll tell you.
A blower door is a powerful fan fitted into a doorway that depressurizes the house. While it runs, air rushes through every hidden crack, which makes leaks easy for our crew to find and seal. The reading drops as leaks are closed, so we know the air sealing is working.
It depends on the size and condition of your attic. You'll get a clear timeline with your quote, and we work around your schedule.
Homes with an attic: single-family homes, townhomes, side-by-side duplexes and mobile homes. For businesses, see our commercial spray foam services.
