Keeps contamination contained: Hauling damp, dirty insulation through the house spreads spores and allergens, so our outside-staged system keeps all of it out of your living space.
Professional Insulation Removal in Memphis, TN
Let Our Insulation Experts Show You The Many Benefits Of Our High Performance Insulation.
Around Memphis and across the Midsouth, long, muggy summers keep air conditioners running hard while storms roll through and pests look for a way in. All of it wears on attic insulation, and once it dampens, sags, or turns musty, your home loses efficiency. Professional insulation removal clears it out so your attic starts clean, dry, and ready to work again.

Does Your Attic Need Clearing Out?
In the Midsouth’s humid heat, attic insulation often gives out earlier than you would expect, and these signs usually mean removal is the right move:
Rising cooling bills as damp or compressed insulation stops holding the summer heat at bay
Humidity, condensation, and mold that leave the attic musty and the material deteriorating
Storm-driven moisture that slipped past the roof and soaked the insulation below
Rodent and pest activity that leaves droppings and nesting throughout the fibers
Re-roofing or remodels that require the attic to be cleared before the work begins
Musty smells or allergy symptoms tied to aging, moisture-laden material
A Superior
Cooler, Cleaner, More Efficient
Removing insulation the right way starts with the right equipment. We stage our extraction system outside the home and draw the old material straight into a sealed container, so dust, fibers, and mold spores stay out of your rooms. In the Midsouth's humid climate, that contained method protects your indoor air while the attic is cleared.
These capabilities define the insulation type:
Built for humid attics: Wet, heavy, or pest-affected material calls for commercial vacuums, protective gear, and antimicrobial treatments to remove it safely and completely.
Protects your health: Damp or aging insulation can release fine particles and mold spores when disturbed, so containment and protection matter for everyone at home.
the Midsouth's Easy 5-Step
Insulation Removal Process
Free Attic & Home Assessment
Our Koala Insulation specialists inspect your attic for the heat gain, humidity, and energy loss that drive up cooling costs across the Memphis area.
- Attic & Humidity InspectionEvery removal starts with a detailed inspection focused on what matters most here: insulation type and depth, attic humidity and condensation, and any moisture left behind by summer storms. We also check for mold, pest activity, ventilation, and access, so the job is planned to run clean, safe, and thorough.
Koala Difference: We pay close attention to the humidity, condensation, and storm moisture that shorten insulation’s life across the Midsouth.
- Prep & Seal-OffBefore we remove anything, we protect your home, sealing access points and covering the path from the attic out to our truck. Our extraction system stages outside, and we add barriers or negative-air equipment where needed so damp material and spores stay out of your living areas.
Koala Difference: Staging outside and sealing the work zone keeps mold, dust, and fibers from traveling into your finished rooms.
- Damaged Insulation ExtractionOur team pulls the old insulation with professional vacuum equipment, drawing damp, damaged, or contaminated material directly into a sealed unit outside. We work carefully across the attic, into the eaves, and around ductwork, so nothing compromised is left behind to keep affecting your air.
Koala Difference: Professional extraction and a sealed process remove humid, damaged material without carrying it through your living space.
- HEPA Cleanup & Antimicrobial Care
Next comes the detail work. HEPA-filtered vacuums sweep the attic floor and framing for the fine dust and fibers left after removal. Because mold and moisture are common in this climate, we can apply a disinfectant or antimicrobial treatment where needed, plus a deodorizer to clear that musty, humid-attic smell.
Koala Difference: HEPA detailing and antimicrobial care leave a dry, healthy attic instead of one that is simply empty.
- Haul-Away & Responsible Disposal
Finally, all the removed insulation leaves with our crew, hauled off-site and disposed of according to Shelby County and Tennessee regulations. Your home stays clean, and none of the old, moisture-damaged material is left behind for you to bag up or haul away yourself.
Koala Difference: The worn material rides away with our crew for proper disposal, so nothing is left for you to deal with.

I needed insulation added to my attic to help with my a/c. The work was scheduled within a week of the estimate. The crew showed up on time and completed the work in a few hours. I was skeptical of not being there to monitor the work, but when I got home, I saw that they cleaned up after themselves and other than the added insulation in the attic, you couldn't tell they were there. Got a nice rebate coming from TVA, and my air conditioner keeps the house at 72 with ease during these 105 degree days. Very happy with the outcome. Curious how much my utility bill will be reduced.

Couldn't be happier! All the guys we worked with were amazing! Great customer service! Great quality of work! They went above and beyond making sure our attic was over insulated in every inch of the attic. They even took the time to move all of our stored junk to make sure they insulated everywhere, which I didn’t think was going to happen. They left the house clean, not even a piece of insulation was left in the house. They took their time to answer any questions/concerns and made sure we were informed along the way. They followed up and made sure we were happy with the service once completed.
I can’t say enough about Peyton, Ben, & the Koala team!!!
Other companies need to take notes because this is how a business is suppose to operate and treat their customers. 👍

My central AC is working noticeably better after the work that Koala did on my attic. Peyton presented me with several options after our initial consultation, and I went with adding fiberglass insulation and air/duct sealing. Previously, the AC was often unable to keep the house at 70 F on hot afternoons even when running continuously. It's now able to comfortably maintain 70 F while running 1-2 hours per day less than before.
The Koala team was always punctual, and the price was quite reasonable especially considering the available TVA rebates. I'm happy with my experience!

These guys showed up on time, were very prepared, paid very close attention to detail and did an amazing job. I was in some out of the way, hard to get to places in my attic a week after the job and was amazed to see insulation. I don't generally do reviews, but the service I received from Koala merited the effort. I highly recommend them.

I’m a married mom who handled this entire process with total confidence after meeting the team from Koala Insulation of the Midsouth! Every interaction I had was genuinely respectful, kind, and on time. The crew was cheerful, respectful of my home, and they cleaned up after themselves perfectly before they left. I picked this company because of the awesome reviews and it’s my absolute pleasure to leave one myself. I would use this company again and definitely recommend it to others! P.S. Could we have done this ourselves? Maybe. Would it have been as voluminous and evenly distributed in our huge, multi level attic? No way! The service was worth every penny. And the TVA refund is icing on the cake!

Take the old insulation out, or add a fresh layer over it?
When your attic insulation is dry, clean, and intact, adding more over it can be a practical way to reach the R-38 level recommended for the Memphis area. Removal is the wiser move once the material has turned damp, moldy, pest-contaminated, or storm-soaked, because layering over compromised insulation just traps the trouble in place. A free assessment quickly shows which approach your attic needs.
Can attic mold or pest contamination still be removed safely?
Absolutely. Moldy or pest-contaminated insulation comes out through sealed, professional extraction gear that stops it from spreading indoors. From there we HEPA-vacuum the attic and can apply a disinfectant or antimicrobial treatment, then a deodorizer for any lingering musty smell. The result is a healthier, drier attic prepared for new insulation.
What does insulation removal cost around Memphis?
Because every attic is different, we give you a quote after a free on-site assessment instead of a set price. Cost comes down to the size and accessibility of the attic, the type and depth of insulation, how much moisture, mold, or pest contamination is present, and disposal. Those factors change from one home to the next, so an in-person visit is the only way to price it accurately.
