Spray Foam Removal Cost: What to Expect in Louisiana

Sometimes you have to tear out the old before you can bring in the new. Whether you are dealing with a botched job from a cheap contractor, or you need to remove old fiberglass batts before upgrading to closed-cell foam, removal is a labor-intensive process.

The Cost to Remove Old Insulation

• Fiberglass Removal: Removing old, nasty fiberglass batts or blown-in cellulose usually costs between $1.00 and $2.00 per square foot. This includes bagging the material, vacuuming the space, and disposal fees.
• Bad Spray Foam Removal: Removing improperly cured spray foam is miserable work. It requires scraping, cutting, and grinding it off the wood framing. Expect to pay between $3.00 and $6.00 per square foot just for the removal, depending on the thickness and access to the space.

Do not attempt to scrape toxic, improperly cured foam yourself. Let professionals handle the hazmat suits and disposal.
