What Koala Insulation’s General Contractor Partnerships Can Offer

The reason we are in business is to ensure property owners, whether residential or commercial, are safe and comfortable, living and working in an energy efficient space that allows them to focus on what’s important. Koala Insulation works with restoration companies and many other general contractors who focus on a wide range of improvement projects.

For example, during a home renovation, it’s imperative that you run the necessary insulation tests to check for potential faults in existing insulation. Or, when building new structures, it’s important to complete effective air sealing services before choosing the best insulation installation product. Whether you’re in the home building or home service industry, we all have the same goal which is to increase the safety and comfort of our clients, as well as deliver quality workmanship to retain customer satisfaction.

What Koala Insulation Offers To Partners

There is a wide range of insulation services from which our partners and contractors will greatly benefit. All services will be completed with ease, ensuring a hassle-free process before you move on to the next stage of your building project.

Insulation Testing

Our insulation testing services involve a lot more than simply testing the current insulation’s efficiency or even during a new insulation installation service. Testing and studying the surrounding structures is equally important and will save you a lot of trouble in the future which would otherwise result in money and energy loss. There is a misconception that buildings need to breathe and that you need to be careful with what you seal up. However, this is not true because your building breathes through efficient vents. What is so essential about insulation installation is that it helps you to fully control your indoor air and temperature.

“Natural ventilation” may sound like fresh air, but it actually tampers with your energy efficiency by decreasing the comfort of your indoor living space. Cold drafts that enter your property via gaps and crevices are the culprits of uneven temperatures and high energy bills.

You may have worked with contractors using infrared imaging devices to detect air leaks, but that tool alone is not efficient for a full energy audit. With our expert Koala team as your insulation contractors, we will complete a thorough energy audit for you, using our professional thermographic imaging tool that effectively detects air leakage and scans heat patterns through colors. This tool will also help quickly identify where exactly heat loss occurs and areas that may have fallen victim to weather and moisture damage. This way, you will know that repairs are needed prior to your initial project for your client.

Thorough inspection and insulation evaluation are key to a successful insulation installation service, and it is a step that we would never skip for any customer.

Insulation Installation

Before the initial insulation installation service, we will help you complete a full air sealing service to ensure that all cracks and crevices are properly sealed with spray foam.

Whether you’re building a garage, refinishing a basement, or doing roof work for your client, our skilled experts at Koala will tell you all about our different types of insulation, so you know what will work best for your client.

Our high-quality products include:

• Blown-In Insulation: Also known as loose-fill, we offer our partners cellulose and fiberglass insulation, which is a highly desired choice, because it’s effective, cost-efficient, and easy to install, even in tight or hard-to-reach spaces. It can also be installed on top of old insulation without a problem.
• Batt Insulation: These are pre-cut sheets either made of fiberglass, mineral wool, or denim cotton. Whether it’s for residential or commercial applications, they’re popular for wall studs and attic insulation, providing a reliable R-value to reduce heat transfer.
• Spray Foam Insulation: We believe that spray foam is the best type of insulation out there because not only does it provide you with the tightest seal to prevent energy loss, but it also increases structural strength and stability. Once applied between your ceiling joists and wall cavity, these structures will gain additional strength besides being well-insulated. 

Insulation Removal

Insulation removal is a dirty job that needs to be completed properly and with extreme care. Koala Insulation pros are highly-trained to inspect existing insulation for faults, and they know when outdated systems need a replacement. Whether it’s mold problems, pest infestation, or improper air sealing, a professional removal service also includes a detailed inspection, during which our experts will help you identify areas of concern that need to be addressed before the new insulation installation takes place.

Insulation Services For Real Estate Agents

Besides aesthetic values and location, the most important selling point of a property is its indoor comfort. But making sure buyers feel comfortable inside their home isn’t the only reason that has them purchase the property—it’s knowing that it has brand-new home insulation that will last for years to come!

Pro Tip!

When you opt for spray foam insulation, you can guarantee your buyers that it will last indefinitely. Besides improved structural integrity, they will always have better indoor air quality, balanced and improved energy efficiency, reduced risks of mold damage, and protection against pest contamination. Energy-saving qualities are what attract property buyers!  

Insulation Evaluation With Home Inspectors

A home inspector’s checklist is very comprehensive and revolves primarily around a property’s energy efficiency. Our insulation pros have worked with many home inspectors in the past and have found that working as a team of two or three can deliver valuable and professional results when the homebuyers are also present. We can help speed up the process of inspecting the attic space, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, and many other structural components.

Insulation Services For HVAC Companies

When your clients experience heating and cooling issues inside their homes, it’s natural that they seek attention from a certified HVAC professional to inspect their furnace or air conditioning system. Often, the units are fine and the culprits for heat loss are ineffective or damaged insulation or incorrectly sealed door and window casings. With our highly qualified insulation specialists, your HVAC company will benefit from added professionalism and accountability.

Insulation Services For Restoration Companies

If a property is recovering from a fire or a flood, there is always a high level of health and safety risks that include mold and asbestos removal. Most interior damages, such as walls, ceilings and floors, require a full replacement to restore a healthy living environment. A part of the restoration process involves insulation installation to recover indoor air quality and stable temperatures. Whether your focus is remediating fire, smoke or water damage, you can count on us as a dependable partner for insulation testing and installation.
