When is Insulation Removal Required?
Insulation removal is recommended when old attic insulation is no longer helping your home and contributing to issues such as:
High utility bills due to old insulation makes you HVAC work hard
Before major renovations that involve opening ceilings or attic areas
Full attic rewiring or electrical upgrades
Pest activity when insulation contains droppings or nesting debris
Water damage resulting in moisture, mold, or musty smells
After fire or smoke damage when material needs to be removed
Allergy or air quality concerns arise from old or dirty insulation
A Superior
Thermal Home Upgrade
Professional insulation removal should be handled with equipment designed to keep the process clean and efficient. Our removal system is positioned outside the home so insulation can be extracted directly into our sealed collection system, helping limit airborne dust and reducing the chance of contaminants spreading into your home.
These capabilities define the insulation type:
Prevents Cross-Contamination: Dragging dirty insulation through your home is unsafe and can spread contaminants into clean living spaces. Professional removal systems keep the mess contained outside the structure.
Uses the Right Equipment: Proper insulation removal may require specialized vacuums, protective gear, and treatment products such as disinfectants or other cleaning agents to complete the job safely and thoroughly
Atlanta’s Easy 5-Step
Insulation Removal Process
Free Insulation Assessment
The Koala Insulation efficiency experts will perform a thorough examination of your home’s current efficiency.
- Site InspectionEvery insulation removal project starts with a careful site inspection. We assess the type of insulation, depth of coverage, moisture sources, and any hazards such as mold, asbestos concerns, or rodent activity. We also look for air sealing opportunities, ventilation issues, and access conditions so the removal can be completed safely, cleanly, and with the right plan for the space.
Koala Difference: We go above and beyond a basic inspection to identify moisture sources, air leaks, and other conditions that may be affecting your home’s comfort and efficiency.
- Containment & Set Up EquipmentOur team prepares the work area by setting up containment to help control dust and debris. We protect access points, isolate the work zone where needed, and use barriers or negative air equipment when appropriate to help keep contaminants from spreading into finished living areas.
Koala Difference: The mess stays contained outside, protecting your floors, furniture, and indoor air from the first bag to the last.
- Insulation RemovalOur team begins removing the old insulation using professional equipment designed to keep the process controlled and efficient. We work carefully through the attic or crawlspace, removing damaged or contaminated material while paying close attention to corners, edges, and other hard-to-reach areas.
Koala Difference: Our team uses commercial equipment and a professional process to contain dust, remove contaminated material, and help protect the comfort of your home.
- Clean the Site & Review
After removal we switch to a HEPA-filtered vacuum to thoroughly clean the attic floor and exposed surfaces, removing fine dust, debris, and remaining insulation fragments that the large removal equipment may leave behind. If pest activity, droppings, or moisture contamination were present, we can also apply a professional disinfectant or antimicrobial treatment. When odors are present, a deodorizing treatment may be applied to help neutralize lingering smells and prepare the space for new insulation.
Koala Difference: We use HEPA-filtered equipment to remove fine dust and debris, and when needed apply professional disinfectant and deodorizing treatments to for a fresh start.
- Disposal & Environment Compliance
All removed insulation is carefully collected and transported off-site for proper disposal. We ensure insulation waste is handled and disposed of in accordance with local environmental regulations, helping keep your property clean while ensuring materials are managed responsibly.
Koala Difference: We take the health of the environment seriously in the products we use and how we handle and dispose of waste.

My experience with Koala Insulation of Atlanta Perimeter North has been nothing less than outstanding !!
I first contact them during the Summer of 2025. Billy came to my house and explained all of the options. I decided to go with the spray foam application to replace 30 year old batts in my attic.
My problem was finding a time (the process took 2 full days plus another day to allow the foam to cure) when I could be out of the house.
I contacted Billy at the beginning of Spring this year. He gave me a revised quote and I scheduled the project. The team came last week. The main technician was Dumitru. He was amazing. His communication throughout the process was excellent. The install team was over the top wonderful, professional and went out of their way to do everything perfectly.
The job went off without a hitch !! I went up to my attic yesterday for the first time since the application. It was hot outside, but not in the attic !!!! I was in the attic for over 30 minutes and never felt uncomfortable !! No sweating, not even a bit !!
I give Koala Insulation a 12 out of 10 !!!
I am so, so, so happy (and the top floor of my house is perfectly conditioned from the hot, muggy, damp Summer outside.

My experience start to finish with Koala of Atl Perimeter North was exceptional. Every team member was polite, professional, communicative and efficient. There was clear and constant communication throughout the process and the price was better than one of their competitors who used pushy sales tactics that pushed me away. I am pleased with the outcome of the spray foam in my attic and I have already recommended Koala to a friend!!!

What a great find! We were having moisture problems..we found that the floor wasn’t air sealed and the insulation was poorly blown in the attic. They vacuumed out the old insulation air foam sealed all the flooring and blew in the new insulation air. Their crew was extremely courteous and knowledgeable. Fantastic clean up.

Very easy and helpful to work with, from education during the sales process to taking good care of our home during the installation. It was a two day job to replace our insulation. They were very professional, took care of our property, cleaned up after each day. I would strongly recommend them to my friends or family members.

The crew that came out on a 97 degree day did an excellent job of blowing insulation in my attic. Even though it was extremely hot, they still spent the time to do things right. I was very impressed with their attention to detail. Even though theirs wasn't the lowest bid (nor the highest), I feel the couple hundred extra spent was well worth the money. Professional all the way.

Great service from a great team. This team provided consistency and follow thru. The young men that insulated our home were polite and thorough. They did not finish at the end of the day but they made sure we were the first assignment that very next morning. This company is awesome. If I could give more stars I would have.

Our experience with Koala Insulation was a breeze from start to finish. Everyone we interacted with was knowledgeable about the product and explained the process thoroughly. Our consultant Billy came out to the house to look at our attic and explain how we could upgrade our insulation, and we were able to schedule install date quickly after. Our installer Brian and his crew were so thorough and left our house as clean as it was before they arrived. Would highly recommend Koala, particularly if you have an older home in need of an insulation upgrade!

I had an amazingly positive experience with koala insulating my attic. Professional, kind, communicative, clean and tidy, respectful to my property. I am waiting for a request for photos of the sealed areas and possibly some additional insulation to some areas that may not be deep enough. I was told photos were to be taken by Billy Addison at time of sale and by installers. I am waiting to pay my invoice to have the photos and any thin areas I failed to mention during final inspection after install. Brian was amazing, he even takes a magnet and collects any nails that fell into surrounding exterior. I would highly recommend.
There is nothing more valuable than ‘service recovery’ as coined by Four Seasons Hotel. Doug and Brian came back to my home and searched for the gap I was concerned about AND repaired it!!!
A+++
I will use them again personally as a landlord and for my real estate clients.
Thank you Team

A characteristic of great businesses is how they handle customer complaints. I engaged Koala to upgrade the insulation in our home. Their sales person came and gave me a detailed quote including some free add ons which I accepted.
When their staff came to do the job, I decided to reduce the scope of work. This caused changes in pricing at their end which their ops and billing team were unable to resolve. It took just one email to their customer service and I was contacted by their owner. He resolved everything to my satisfaction.
I found them to be professional, polite, prompt, and knowledgeable. I recommend them highly to anyone considering an insulation job.

I hired Koala of Atlanta Perimeter North to remove loose insulation that had been installed 44 years before and they did a fantastic job. They professionally prepped the area for over an hour before running a hose from outside into the attic. What was originally estimated to be a 2-3 hour job took over 6 hours because the insulation was wet (I'll deal with my bad insurance company about that one) but they are pros and got every bit of the loose insulation out. It was unbelievably heavy. Brian and his protege James did a great job and I'll be asking Ryan, the owner, to send them to install the bats in a few weeks.

I was so pleased with the job Koala did for us. They were on time and on budget and just exceeded my expectations. We even had an issue and lost power in one area of the house after work in our attic. Koala immediately hired an electrician to come in and get this fixed for us. Just a great experience!

We had Koala Insulation come to our home to add insulation to our attic, and we couldn’t be more impressed with their service. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They took the time to explain the process and answer all our questions, making us feel confident in our decision. The installation was completed quickly, and they left everything spotless. We’ve already noticed a difference in the comfort of our home! If you’re looking for a reliable and thorough insulation company, Koala Insulation is the way to go. Highly recommend!

Excellent job on my basement walls all around 👏 And they clean after themselves. You want the best for insulation look no further. Trust me I look and did my research. They are the best for sprayed insulation! Keep up the good work guys! 👏 It really help to cool the basement. No AC yet just a large fan and is comfortable vs hot as before.

Do I need to remove my old attic insulation, or can I just add more on top?
It depends on the condition of what’s already there. If your existing insulation is dry, clean, and simply thin, adding new insulation over it is often a good option. Removal is the better choice when the material is wet, moldy, compacted, or contaminated by pests or smoke, common issues in Atlanta’s humid climate, because adding new insulation over damaged material traps the problem and limits performance. Our free assessment tells you which path makes sense for your home.
How much does insulation removal cost?
Every attic is different, so we provide pricing after a free on-site assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all number. Cost depends on factors like the size and accessibility of your attic, the type and depth of insulation, whether contamination or moisture is present, and disposal needs. Because those variables change from project to project, an in-person evaluation is the only way to give you an accurate, honest quote.
Will removing old insulation help with air quality and humidity in my home?
It often does. Old attic insulation can hold dust, allergens, moisture, and pest debris that circulate into your living space, and Atlanta’s humidity can make damp insulation a source of musty odors and mold. Removing deteriorated material, and, when needed, applying a disinfectant or deodorizing treatment, gives your attic a clean, dry starting point that supports healthier indoor air.
