Vermiculite Insulation
Vermiculite insulation is a type of insulation that is made from vermiculite, a mineral that is processed into lightweight pellets. These pellets are then mixed with other materials, such as perlites or fiberglass, to create a product that can be used for insulation. Vermiculite insulation has a number of benefits over other types of insulation, including its ability to resist fire and sound, as well as its ability to absorb impact. In addition, vermiculite insulation is also easy to install and remove, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
Why Is Vermiculite Insulation a Concern?
According to research conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), asbestos exposure can result in a number of serious health issues, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. After being exposed to this, it's possible that you won't develop these conditions for years or even decades. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that the risk of diseases increases "as the level, duration, and frequency of exposure increases," and that smoking makes this risk even worse. This is why it's so important to have your vermiculite insulation tested and, if necessary, removed by a certified professional.

What is the Problem?
Vermiculite insulation was once touted as a miracle product. It was light, easy to work with, and an excellent insulator. However, it was later discovered that vermiculite insulation could also be contaminated with asbestos. Asbestos is a known human carcinogen, and exposure to it can lead to serious health problems, including lung cancer.
As a result, the Environmental Protection Agency now recommends that homes with vermiculite insulation should have it removed by a professional. While the removal process can be costly, it is the only way to ensure that your family is not exposed to this potentially deadly substance.
What is the Risk?
Vermiculite insulation is a type of loose-fill insulation that was used in many homes between the 1920s and 1990s. The insulation is made from a mineral called vermiculite, which is mined from ore deposits around the world. While most vermiculite is harmless, some of the ore deposits used to make the insulation contain asbestos fibers.
Asbestos exposure can lead to serious health problems, including lung cancer. For this reason, many experts recommend that homes with vermiculite insulation be tested for asbestos. If asbestos is present, the insulation should be removed by a certified professional. Although the removal process can be costly, it is the best way to protect your family from the health risks associated with asbestos exposure. This is especially important if your home was built before the 1990s when the use of vermiculite insulation was more common.

Advantages of Vermiculite Insulation Removal
Vermiculite insulation removal comes with a number of advantages. One is that it can help improve indoor air quality. Vermiculite insulation may contain asbestos fibers, which can be harmful if inhaled. Removing the insulation can reduce the number of asbestos fibers in the air and improve air quality.
Another advantage of removal is that it can help improve energy efficiency. Vermiculite insulation tends to settle over time, becoming less effective at insulating homes. By removing the old insulation and replacing it with new insulation, homeowners can help improve the energy efficiency of their homes.
Finally, vermiculite removal can also make homes safer. Asbestos fibers can be harmful if they are inhaled, so removing vermiculite insulation can help reduce the risk of exposure to asbestos fibers.
Vermiculite Insulation Removal Process at Hathaway Environmental
We rely on a cutting-edge removal system that includes moving the vermiculite into a lined, enclosed dumpster using a powerful industrial vacuum. We make sure the vermiculite is completely wet so it won't become airborne, and we block off the house's and the outside's entrances.
