How Johns Manville Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Climate Pro B blown-in fiberglass compacts below labeled R-value after 8-12 years in Georgetown’s 140°F summer attics. The product doesn’t “fail” structurally, but thermal performance drops 15-25% as fibers settle and density increases. We remove the compacted material with commercial vacuums, verify the attic floor is sealed, then replace with fresh blown-in at proper depth for the target R-value - usually R-38 to R-49 for our climate zone.
• Formaldehyde-free batt products (JM Spider, CertaPro) absorb moisture when attic ventilation is compromised. Georgetown’s spring humidity spikes and occasional ice dam winters create condensation against the roof deck that these batts wick inward. The batt doesn’t rot, but the facing delaminates and mold colonizes the paper or kraft surface. We remove contaminated batts, treat affected sheathing, seal air leaks at the top plates and can lights, then install replacement product only after the moisture source is resolved.
• Older Johns Manville vermiculite insulation in pre-1990 Georgetown homes may contain asbestos. The Zonolite brand was sourced from Libby, Montana, and we treat every granular, silver-gold vermiculite sighting as hazardous until tested. We coordinate with licensed abatement contractors for safe removal; this is not a DIY or standard insulation crew job. Replacement follows abatement clearance with full documentation.
• Sound & Fire Control batts in interior walls settle at the bottom of stud bays when installed without proper friction fit or supports. We see this in Georgetown’s 2005-2015 construction, where rushed production builders left gaps at the top of walls. Removal requires opening the wall cavity; we replace with properly sized batts or dense-pack cellulose, depending on whether the homeowner wants to preserve sound attenuation.
• AP Foil-faced polyiso board on knee walls and attic hatches loses adhesion in cyclic heat. The foil facing separates from the foam core, creating an air gap that nullifies the R-value. We remove degraded boards, seal the framing with foam, and replace with fresh polyiso or transition to spray foam if the geometry allows - whichever gives a continuous air barrier, which is what matters.

Our Johns Manville Insulation Removal & Replacement Process

1. 1
   Call and scheduling. A live person answers; we book a site visit, usually within 48 hours. You receive a text with your technician’s name when they’re en route.
2. 2
   Attic inspection and documentation. We photograph the existing Johns Manville product, note the series if identifiable, and run a blower-door test - a pressurization reading that shows, in one number, how much air your building envelope is losing. Thermal imaging identifies bypasses and moisture patterns.
3. 3
   Written scope and price. Before any work starts, you get a flat price, written scope, and written warranty. Under Haven Standard: Have it in writing. No exceptions.
4. 4
   Air sealing first. Seal the holes first. Then we talk about R-value. We foam-seal top plates, wire and pipe penetrations, can lights, and chimney chases before a single bag of new insulation enters the attic.
5. 5
   Removal and replacement. Commercial vacuums extract old material; we treat contamination if present, then install replacement insulation to specified depth or density. Post-job blower-door test and thermal images document the improvement.
6. 6
   Delivered documentation. You walk away with before-and-after blower-door numbers, measured R-values, duct-leakage test results, and a photo record of the completed work. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is in effect from day one.

What Johns Manville Insulation Removal & Replacement Costs in Georgetown

What moves the price: attic square footage, accessibility (truss spacing, hatch size), contamination requiring PPE and disposal protocols, and whether the original installation was over an unsealed attic floor - which we correct before adding new material. Every estimate includes the written price, scope, and warranty before anyone lifts a tool. Call (254) 970-2136 for your free estimate.
