Keeps the mess outside: Hauling old insulation through the house spreads dust and allergens room to room; our outside-staged system keeps all of it out of your living space.
Professional Insulation Removal in Austin, TX
Let Our Insulation Experts Show You The Many Benefits Of Our High Performance Insulation.
Under Central Texas sun, Austin attics can top well over a hundred degrees through a long summer, and insulation bakes along with them. When it settles, degrades, or fills with pest debris, radiant heat pours into your rooms and cooling bills soar. Professional removal clears it out for a clean, efficient start.

Signs Your Attic Insulation Needs to Go
Under the strain of long, hot Central Texas summers, attic insulation wears down faster than many owners realize, so removal is worth weighing when you notice:
Soaring cooling bills as settled or degraded insulation lets attic heat gain pour into the house
Rooms that never cool evenly through triple-digit afternoons even with the system running hard
Attic moisture or musty odors from Gulf humidity that reaches inland during the warm months
Storm damage from severe Texas weather that let water into the roof deck and dampened insulation
Rodent or insect contamination with droppings and nesting common in Central Texas attics
A remodel or addition in a newer tract home or older central neighborhood that needs the attic cleared
A Superior
Cooler Rooms, Lower Cooling Bills
A clean removal comes down to how the equipment is staged. We set our vacuum system outside the home and draw the old insulation straight into a sealed container, so attic dust, fibers, and debris never scatter through your rooms. In Austin's cooling-driven climate, that contained method keeps your indoor air clean while we clear the space for better efficiency.
These capabilities define the insulation type:
The right tools for Texas attics: Settled, heat-degraded, or pest-affected material calls for specialized vacuums, protective gear, and treatment products to clear it safely.
Protects your household: Old insulation can throw off fine particles once it is disturbed, so containment and protective gear keep your family safer during the work.
Austin's Easy 5-Step
Insulation Removal Process
Free Attic & Efficiency Assessment
Our Koala Insulation specialists inspect your attic for heat gain, moisture, and energy loss common to Central Texas homes before any work begins.
- Attic & Heat-Gain InspectionEvery removal starts with an inspection tuned to Central Texas conditions. We check insulation type and depth, measure attic heat gain, and look for moisture, storm damage, and pest activity. We also note ventilation and access, since attic temperatures here can be extreme, so the job is planned to be clean, safe, and effective.
Koala Difference: We focus on the radiant heat gain, humidity, and pests that wear Austin attics down through long summers.
- Work-Zone SetupBefore we pull any material, we protect the home, sealing access points and covering the route from the attic hatch down to the truck. Where the job calls for it, we set barriers and negative-air equipment so attic dust and debris stay out of your finished rooms while the old material moves out cleanly and safely.
Koala Difference: Careful setup keeps hot-attic dust and debris from drifting into your living space during the job.
- Insulation Vacuum-OutOur crew draws the aging insulation out with professional vacuum equipment, moving methodically across the attic and into eaves, corners, and around ductwork. Heat-degraded, settled, or pest-contaminated material feeds straight into a sealed unit outside, so nothing worn is left behind to keep radiating heat into the rooms below.
Koala Difference: Commercial extraction and a contained process clear heat-worn material without tracking dust through the house.
- HEPA Cleaning & Deodorizing
Once the bulk is out, HEPA-filtered vacuums pass over the attic floor and framing to lift the fine dust and fragments larger equipment leaves. If we found pests, droppings, or moisture, we can apply a disinfectant or antimicrobial treatment and a deodorizing pass to clear any stale, musty odor from the space.
Koala Difference: A detailed HEPA pass and the right treatments leave your attic genuinely clean, not just cleared of bulk.
- Disposal & Compliant Haul-Away
From there, the old insulation is bagged, loaded, and driven off-site for disposal that follows Travis County and Texas environmental rules. Your property is left tidy, and the worn material is handled the right way rather than dropped in your bin or left sitting in the garage after the crew heads out.
Koala Difference: Responsible haul-away is built into the job, so cleanup and disposal never land on your plate.

We got many quotes for a project, from big and small companies, and Andrew was the best by far — prompt, helpful, and fair. They can do pretty much everything too.
It’s always tough to decide on a service provider, but this time my husband and I were immediately in agreement. So go with Andrew, make your marriage stronger.

Speaking with Andrew was great. He went over their entire process and explained my options. Of course I picked the most expensive option which was also a very respectable price. I’m a do it right the first time guy and my house was built in 66’. New installation was well overdue.
Buddy and Ezra jumped right up in my attic and did a phenomenal job! Yes, I am anxious to see my next electric bill. Yes, they do fantastic work. And yes, I recommend them.

Andrew was super knowledgeable and friendly during quote. We bonded over music. Was able to quickly schedule job and guys came following week. Install went great. Guys cleaned up. Some insulation was discovered later in the intake of my tankless water heater. Plumber was able to quickly resolve and clear of unit. Andrew didn’t hesitate to offer to reimburse me. One day in house is less humid and upstairs noticeably cooler.

Koala did a great job increasing the insulation in our attic and adding two attic fans. Marcellino provided a clear quote and the work was completed within a week. I highly recommend calling Koala for your insulation needs!

We are very pleased with Koala, they helped us decided on a plan of action that would give us the best comfort for our money. Then when the team came out for install they were very friendly, extremely respectful of our property, and cleaned up before leaving.

Great company highly recommend. I reached out to Koala for information and talked to Gary Risner, Sales GM, and he was prompt in calling me and coming out to review our home and needs. After receiving the quote from him, he was competitive with other bids I received, but the main reason I chose Koala over others was Gary. He's professional, personable, and overall a great guy. His crew came out the very next day for installation. Arthur & Sergio were great. It took a couple hours and we could immediately tell the difference in our home. We went with blow in fiberglass to go over our spotty bat coverage we had already. If you're considering a company for insulation installation do yourself a favor and give Koala a call.

With Texas attic heat, should I remove my old insulation or add more over it?
If your attic insulation is dry, clean, and undamaged, adding more over it can be a cost-effective way to reach the R-38 level recommended for the Austin area, which helps limit attic heat gain. Removal is the better choice when the material is heat-degraded, settled, moldy, or pest-contaminated, since covering a compromised layer traps the problem. A free attic assessment shows which route fits your home.
Can extreme attic heat and Texas pests damage my insulation?
They can. Austin attics can reach punishing temperatures through a long summer, and that constant heat gradually degrades insulation and its ability to hold back radiant heat. Rodents and insects are common here too, leaving droppings and nesting that contaminate the material. We remove affected insulation with sealed, professional equipment, HEPA-vacuum the space, and can treat and deodorize before new insulation is installed.
How much does insulation removal cost in the Austin area?
Because every attic is different, we provide a quote after a free on-site assessment rather than a set price. Cost depends on the size and accessibility of your attic, the type and depth of insulation, how much heat damage, moisture, or pest contamination is present, and disposal. Those factors vary from home to home, so an in-person look is the only way to price it accurately.
