Is Your Attic Insulation Past Its Prime?
Through North San Antonio’s long, hot summers, attic insulation gradually gives out, and removal is worth a look once you notice:
Climbing cooling bills and hot rooms as settled or thin insulation stops holding back the attic heat
Humidity, condensation, or musty odors that build up in the attic during muggy stretches
Storm damage or roof leaks from severe Texas weather that soaked the insulation
Rodents and other pests that nest in area attics and leave droppings and torn material behind
Remodels or additions that require clearing the attic before work begins
Wiring or recessed-lighting upgrades in older and newer homes alike that need a clean attic
A Superior
Cooler Home, Lower Bills
A clean removal comes down to the right setup. We stage our vacuum system outside the house and draw the old insulation straight into a sealed container, so heat-baked dust and fiber never spread into your rooms. Across the San Antonio area, that contained approach protects your indoor air while the attic gets cleared in the summer heat.
These capabilities define the insulation type:
Ready for the job: A thorough removal can call for commercial vacuums, protective equipment, and treatment products to handle settled, damp, or contaminated material safely and completely.
Protects your health: Old insulation releases fine particles once disturbed, so proper containment and protective gear matter for everyone in the home during the removal.
North San Antonio's Easy 5-Step
Insulation Removal Process
Free Attic & Cooling Assessment
Our Koala Insulation specialists inspect your attic for the heat gain, moisture, and energy loss that drive up cooling costs across North San Antonio.
- Attic & Heat InspectionEvery removal begins with a close inspection tuned to the San Antonio area: insulation type and depth, attic heat gain, humidity and condensation, and any storm moisture, mold, or pest activity. We also review ventilation and access, so the job is planned to run clean, safe, and thorough in homes from Stone Oak to the Hill Country edge.
Koala Difference: We zero in on the heat gain, humidity, and pests that shorten insulation life across North San Antonio.
- Seal-Off & SetupBefore removal starts, we protect your home, sealing access points and covering the route from the attic to the exit. Our extraction system stages outside, and we bring in barriers or negative-air equipment where needed, so dust and loose fiber stay out of your cooled living areas through the hottest part of the day.
Koala Difference: A sealed, outside-staged setup keeps dust and fiber from spreading through your home during the removal.
- Old Insulation RemovalOur crew removes the old insulation with professional vacuum equipment, working steadily across the attic and into eaves, corners, and tight spots. Settled, damp, or contaminated material is drawn straight into a sealed collection unit outside, so nothing worn out or fouled is left behind above your ceilings when the job is done.
Koala Difference: A controlled process keeps the dust in our equipment, not in your North San Antonio home.
- HEPA Cleanup & Treatment
After the bulk removal, we run HEPA-filtered vacuums across the attic floor and framing to lift the fine dust and fragments larger equipment leaves behind. If we encountered pests, droppings, or moisture, we can follow with a disinfectant or antimicrobial treatment and a deodorizing pass to clear out stale, musty attic odors.
Koala Difference: Detailed HEPA cleanup and targeted treatment leave an attic that is genuinely clean, not just emptied.
- Cleanup & Compliant Disposal
From there, the old insulation is bagged, loaded, and driven off-site for disposal that follows Bexar County and Texas environmental rules. Your property is left clean and tidy, and the waste is handled the right way rather than tossed in your bin or left stacked beside the house in the Texas heat.
Koala Difference: Responsible haul-away is part of every job, so no cleanup or disposal ever falls back to you.

We were impressed by the owner who came and did our consultation and estimate. The price was fair, but what sold us was his honesty. He did not try to over sell with a radiant barrier, which all the other companies tried. He was honest of what our expectations should be regarding energy cost savings with a house with solar.
The day of insulation was easy. They arrived on time and were done within 2 hours. No mess or disruption to us.

Great company to work with. They were very comparably priced against other companies, but what led me to using them was their great reviews on Google. Andrew was very attentive and came out to measure the project ahead of install date and answered any and all of our questions. The crew that came out to spray foam, and blow in the insulation was professional and very speedy. I would highly recommend this company to my family and friends. A+ job!

Contacted Christian to come out to see what our attic needed because the house was getting cold quick. Came out quick and on time and their team found multiple spots that were severely low.I was able to schedule the job the same week and they came out and did a great job. Even vacuumed the carpet afterwards 10/10 would recommend. Thank you!

Excellent
First of all, I rarely do recommendations, testimonials, or surveys. I figure if I pay for a job or product why should I give out free advertising!! So why now? I was really impressed with every aspect of the Koala process. Great attention to detail, on-time installation, extremely knowledge about the installation of insulation products and related trades. They even found that my dryer vent was not properly installed and they repaired it without any additional charge. Clothes dryer lint was blowing into my attic for 8 years. I really chose Koala because they were the only insulation company that I got quotes from that would apply foam pipe insulation on the water pipes in my attic. Having grown up in North Texas all the water pipes were under the house or in the slab. When I moved to San Antonio my builder told me that it was NOT a problem to have water pipes in the attic under insulation. WRONG!! I even paid extra to have all the pipes insulated with foam pipe insulation when my home was built. Seems the builder only put the foam on the copper pipes that were visible in the attic. Last February I had one pipe that froze and ruptured and created a nightmare. Koala added over 250' of foam pipe insulation....REALLY...So are you asking yourself what does my attic have?? I also thought I had R 30 in my attic....WRONG.....some areas not easily visible from the attic entrance there were 2 inches of insulation or maybe R 5. My 18' high by 20' long entryway had R11. I had Koala install R 49 with blown-in fiberglass. I also found out the hard way that not all fiberglass insulation is the same. I don't want to go through another winter blast in the future ill-prepared. Koala uses Knauf Jet Stream Ultra Fiberglass insulation one of the top brands and it is not that much more than the cheap stuff!! They can also quote you the cheap stuff if you want but it will take more to equal the R factor of Knauf products and cost about the same. My grandmother always said you get what you pay for...so true! I guess I could have just said "I highly recommend Koala" but then you might have ignored the recommendation. Don't chance going through another winter with improperly insulated water pipes in your attic and low R-value insulation. Call Chris at Koala!

After last winter's cold, my husband and I decided that we were going to explore ways to keep the house warmer. We asked Koala Insulation to give us an evaluation of our attic insulation. They were on time, professional and thorough in doing so. They recommended more insulation, a solar attic fan and putting insulation on the attic door. The price we were quoted was, in our opinion, very fair. We then had other companies do the same thing. In comparison, not only did Koala seem to assess our needs more thoroughly but were the most reasonably priced. When they came to do the actual work, they were polite, clean and professional. They did excellent work, were as quiet as they could be and worked quickly but comprehensively. They told us that we would start seeing savings on our bill and they were not wrong! It just made me wish we had done it sooner. I heartily recommend them without reservation.

Should I remove my old attic insulation or just add more on top?
If your attic insulation is dry, clean, and undamaged, adding more on top can be a practical way to reach the R-38 level suited to the San Antonio climate. Removal makes more sense when the material is settled, heat-baked, moisture-damaged, or pest-contaminated, since covering compromised insulation just traps the problem. A quick assessment tells you which approach fits your home and your budget.
We had a storm and think pests got into the attic. Can you remove the insulation safely?
Yes. We remove storm-damaged or pest-contaminated insulation with sealed, professional extraction equipment that keeps soiled or damp material from spreading through your home, then HEPA-vacuum the attic and can apply a disinfectant or antimicrobial treatment. If a musty odor remains, a deodorizing pass helps clear it, leaving a healthier attic that is ready for fresh insulation to go back in.
How much does insulation removal cost in North San Antonio?
Because no two attics are the same, 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.
