Vermiculite Insulation Removal Services
Vermiculite Insulation is a mineral that when it is heated can expand and creates a pocket of air. When this occurs – it does not burn, leading to the idea behind using vermiculite for insulation purposes. Although vermiculite is not a health hazard alone, vermiculite insulation contains dangerous asbestos fibers in it.
