Why is Cavity Wall Extraction a Good Idea?
Prevents Damp & Mold
Old insulation can trap moisture, leading to dampness, mold, and potential structural damage. Cavity wall extraction removes this risk, creating a healthier indoor environment.
Restores Energy Efficiency
By removing problematic insulation and allowing for a fresh insulation installation, cavity wall extraction helps you regain the energy-saving benefits and comfort that proper insulation provides.
Reduced Heating Costs
By removing inefficient insulation and creating the foundation for a better insulation system, cavity wall extraction helps lower your energy bills. You'll save money on heating costs as your home becomes more energy-efficient.
Improved Property Value
A home that is properly insulated and free from potential damp problems becomes more attractive to buyers. Cavity wall extraction can help maintain and even increase your property's value.
How Cavity Wall Extraction Works?
Cavity wall extraction starts with a thorough assessment to determine if existing insulation needs to be removed. If extraction is necessary, the team will prepare the work area and then strategically drill small holes into the exterior wall. Specialised equipment is used to carefully extract the old insulation material, often using an industrial vacuum and sometimes compressed air. They may use a boroscope camera to ensure complete removal. Finally, the work area is cleaned, holes are filled to match the original brickwork, and the cavity is left ready for new insulation installation if desired.
