Professional Insulation Removal for a Healthier Home
Safe and Clean Removal of Old Insulation
Over time, insulation can become less effective due to damage, contamination, or settling, and in some cases, it can even pose health risks if mold, pests, or debris are present. Removing old, damaged insulation is the first step in improving your home’s energy efficiency and air quality. Koala Insulation offers professional insulation removal services, ensuring that old materials are safely and thoroughly removed before installing new, more effective insulation.
When Do You Need Insulation Removal?
- Pest Infestations: If pests like rodents or insects have made their way into your attic or walls, they can damage insulation and leave behind harmful contaminants. Removing and replacing the insulation is essential for restoring a clean, healthy living space.
- Water Damage and Mold: Insulation that has been exposed to water or moisture can develop mold and mildew, which can affect your home’s air quality and contribute to health issues. Wet insulation loses its ability to insulate effectively and should be removed.
- Aging or Settling: Over time, insulation can settle or compress, losing its insulating properties. If your home is more than 10-15 years old, it may be time to remove old insulation and replace it with new, high-performance materials.
- Home Renovations: If you’re planning a renovation, it’s a great time to assess your insulation. Removing old insulation allows you to start fresh with materials that meet modern energy efficiency standards.
- Energy Inefficiency: If you’ve noticed that your home is drafty, hard to heat or cool, or your energy bills are higher than usual, outdated or damaged insulation could be the culprit.

I had the pleasure of working with Koala Chicago-West starting with John A who came to assess needs & discuss the project. Attic & crawl insulation were done by Corey, Damian, Jullian and crew. They worked from 8:30-3;30, the equipment was a bit noisy but the team worked quietly & efficiently. Most impressive was how polite & kind they were. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I was very pleased with the Koala Insulation of Chicago West team on getting my attic cleaned out and re-insulated very quickly. The Koala team impressed me with their friendly professionalism and clear communication regarding the process and timeline. I would definitely use them again if ever needed.

WOW WOW WOW!!!! I've been fighting cold / hot second story rooms for years. Several HVAC visits later I finally thought insulation? Koala came in and the next week I went from about 2 inches of insulation (see before ruler photo) to a TON of insulation (see buried measure marker photo). They sealed up any air flow gaps, added insulation to attic, under the bedroom over the garage and spray foamed a closet. The changes in the house was IMMEDIATE!!! If you are thinking "Should I have my insulation checked?", don't wait call Koala! Fast, Fair, Professional and Clean! I'd do it all over again without a second thought!

Owner John came out to provide us with a quote for a smaller job in the crawl space beneath our kitchen. He was very friendly, gave us a reasonable offer, and informed us about energy rebates that would expire at the end of the year. We booked the job. The crew arrived promptly and got to work immediately. Our crawl space is not easily accessible (through an old hopper window located over the utility sink in our laundry room). They cleared out the old insulation and cleaned up years' worth of detritus. They were finished in under two hours and left everything tidy. Clear before-and-after photos were shared with us. Great work! We can't wait to reap the benefits of a well-insulated space.

Our goal is to help you create a comfortable space while cutting down on energy costs, so you can focus on what you do best.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Keep your crawl space dry and your floors warm with vapor barrier crawl space insulation that helps you save energy.
Blown In Attic Insulation
Consisting of small pieces of insulation, this type of insulation can quite literally fill every nook and cranny of a space and create an uber-fluffy layer of effective insulation. Our technicians ensure your attic, wall and ceiling cavities are filled correctly and without gaps or voids.
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray Foam is a two-part product that is heated and then is sent through a hose into the stud cavity, where it hardens in a matter of seconds and creates a long-term barrier that keeps your home comfortable and energy efficient.
Solar Attic Fans
Solar attic fans turn your attic into a livable space by pushing hot air out and pulling cool air in. Our fans use solar energy to keep your attic at a comfortable temperature year-round.
Air Sealing Service
We identify and seal leaks letting air in and out of your home to reduce unwanted temperature loss or gain.
Batt Insulation Installation
One of the most recognizable forms of insulation. Batt comes in large rolls or pre-cut sections that are typically pink or yellow in color. These are installed in sheet form and laid out between the studs in walls, floors, and attics.
