Contains the mess: Moving damp, dirty insulation through the house spreads allergens and dust; our outside-staged system keeps it sealed away from your living space.
Professional Insulation Removal in Atlanta, GA
Let Our Insulation Experts Show You The Many Benefits Of Our High Performance Insulation.
Across Atlanta’s southern suburbs, long, muggy summers push attics hard, and insulation absorbs the humidity along with the heat. Once it dampens, mats down, or fills with pest debris, cooling bills climb and rooms stay sticky. Professional removal clears the tired material so your attic starts clean, dry, and efficient.

When Should You Remove Your Insulation?
In south metro Atlanta’s humid heat, attic insulation often needs to come out sooner than owners expect, especially when you notice:
Rising cooling bills as damp or compressed insulation stops holding back the muggy summer heat
Attic humidity, condensation, or a musty odor that settles into the material over a long, warm season
Mold or mildew taking hold in a hot, humid attic with limited ventilation
Storm-driven moisture from Georgia thunderstorms that reached the roof deck and dampened insulation
Rodent or insect contamination with droppings and nesting that break down the material
Renovations in an older or newer south-side home that call for the attic to be cleared first
A Superior
Cooler, Drier, More Comfortable
A clean removal depends on the setup behind it. We stage our extraction system outside the home and pull the old, humid insulation straight into a sealed collection unit, so dust, fibers, and mold spores stay out of your rooms. In a cooling-driven climate like south Atlanta's, that contained approach protects your air quality and your comfort.
These capabilities define the insulation type:
Built for humid attics: Damp, heavy, or pest-affected material calls for commercial vacuums, protective gear, and antimicrobial treatment to clear it safely and completely.
Guards your health: Damp or aging insulation can release mold spores and fine particles when disturbed, so containment and protection matter for your household.
South Atlanta's Easy 5-Step
Insulation Removal Process
Free Attic & Efficiency Assessment
Our Koala Insulation specialists inspect your attic for heat gain, humidity, and energy loss common to south Atlanta homes before any work begins.
- Attic & Humidity CheckEvery removal opens with an inspection focused on what matters most in south metro Atlanta: insulation type and depth, attic humidity and condensation, mold or mildew, and any storm-driven moisture. We also check for pests, ventilation, and access, so the job is planned to be clean, safe, and thorough from the start.
Koala Difference: We focus on the humidity, mold, and storm moisture that wear south-side attics down through long summers.
- Protection & SetupBefore we remove anything, we protect your home, sealing access points and covering the route from the attic to the exit. Our extraction system stages outside, and we use barriers or negative-air equipment where needed, so damp material and spores stay out of your finished living areas throughout the job.
Koala Difference: A sealed, outside-staged setup keeps humid insulation and its spores from spreading through your home.
- Moisture-Damaged Insulation RemovalOur team removes the old insulation with professional vacuum equipment, drawing damp, compressed, or contaminated material directly into a sealed unit outside. We work carefully across the attic, into eaves, corners, and around ductwork, so nothing compromised stays behind to keep trapping humidity in a hot southern attic.
Koala Difference: Commercial equipment and a contained process clear moisture-heavy material without tracking it through the house.
- HEPA Cleanup & Antimicrobial Care
With the bulk cleared, HEPA-filtered vacuums sweep the attic floor and framing for the fine dust and fibers left after removal. Because mold and mildew are common in this climate, we can apply a disinfectant or antimicrobial treatment where it is needed, plus a deodorizer to neutralize that damp, musty attic smell.
Koala Difference: HEPA cleanup and targeted treatment set up your South Atlanta home for a fresh, healthy start.
- Cleanup & Compliant Haul-Away
All the removed insulation leaves with our crew, hauled off-site and disposed of in line with Fulton and Clayton Counties and Georgia regulations. Your home stays clean, and none of the old, humidity-damaged material is left at the curb or in the garage for you to deal with after we go.
Koala Difference: We take the old material with us and dispose of it properly, so your part is done when we drive away.

Austin and his crew were very professional and I am very pleased with the work they did today. They were very careful inside my home. I’m very appreciative of that since getting to the area to be foamed was not easy. I would definitely recommend Koala Insulation without hesitation.

They did a great job spray foaming our rafters and walls in our add on. It made a huge noticeable difference immediately and we do not even have our heat and air turned on yet. Highly recommend! Pricing is very fair also

Took the time and made sure the vacuuming of our prior blown-in in the attic was cleaned out and then did a great job of coating our attic roof with Open cell, About 4 to 5 inches deep all around.Fast and a good communicator.

I don’t know how to give a higher recommendation. i’m sure you all have experienced being a number online and waiting for days for people to call, no problem here, incredibly professional work and customer service and they actually talk to you. My wife and I could not be more happy with the foam insulation job Austin and Chad did for us thank you again guys 😊👍Dr and Mrs T Barry Clower

The air conditioning in my office upstairs was running constantly, and still it was uncomfortably warm. So I did my research on spray foam insultation and nearby companies. I contracted with Koala Insulation of South Atlanta, and I couldn't be more happy with the results. It was 140 degrees in my attic when they started and after they finished, it felt like a warm summer day in the attic. I could tell the difference almost immediately, and now, it's a comfortable 78 in my office. I look forward to a significantly lower power bill. Austin and his team did a fantastic job and I highly recommend them.

I recently hired koala insulation to upgrade the insulation in our attic, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the final cleanup, the team was professional, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable.
They took the time to assess our needs, explained the options clearly, and provided a fair, detailed estimate. On installation day, the crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and treated our home with care and respect. Within just a few hours, our attic was fully insulated, and the difference was immediate—our home feels much more comfortable and our energy bills have already started to drop!
What really stood out was their attention to detail and commitment to quality. They didn’t just do the job—they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.
Highly recommend Koala to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality attic insulation services. It’s one of the best home improvement investments we’ve made!

Austin is the best! After several quotes, Austin was honest, straightforward and easy to trust with removing the old insulation, getting the new insulation up to code without breaking the bank. The work was very efficient and they cleaned up afterwards. Highly recommend this company!

Highly recommend these guys. You call, they visit, tell you what you want to know and then get it done all in a very timely fashion. If your upstairs is hot call these guys first and get your insulation checked out - I did and now my upstairs is cooler than my downstairs…thanks Koala!! Plus you may qualify for a rebate from your power company. I didn’t even know that until the guys at Koala shared that with me. Two thumbs up!

I recently had Koala Insulation install fiberglass insulation in my home, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They took the time to explain the process, answered all my questions, and ensured that everything was done to the highest standard.
The installation itself was seamless, and I immediately noticed an improvement in my home’s temperature regulation. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship truly stood out. Plus, they left the work area clean and tidy, which I really appreciated.

Austin was very prompt at responding to texts and was able to give an estimate and schedule quicker than anyone else while also beating their quotes.
Blew in more fiberglass insulation than needed to and followed special requests to cover duct work and make sure soffits weren’t blocked.
My house is actually staying at the temperature it needs to rather than the a/c struggling all day.
Much appreciated Austin. Thank you.

Koala Insulation did our basement. They did a great job and were professional. I appreciate the communication and patience with our project as plumbers and inspections fell behind schedule. Koala insulation, however, showed up when promised and finished as promised. They did a great job in the application of foam. We had a multitude of wires in the ceiling, mini-split air conditioning on the wall, and they were careful to cover it all. They cleaned up after the job and finished in a timely manner. I'd be happy to use them again.

Koala was the first company I called and I didn't know much about how spray foam worked. Austin was very helpful in explaining the concept and spent quite a bit of time on the phone with me. He event gave me a rough estimate over the phone. After calling a couple of other companies who never responded I had him come out to see the house in person in order to confirm his quote and make sure all the attics were accessible and spray foam would work. After seeing the house he confirmed the quote and we eventually scheduled a date. Before the installation day I asked him for a written estimate/contract. We boarded our dogs and I had my wife and son stay in a hotel for the 2 installation days. First day (removal) the guys showed up about an hour late. They worked hard all day but still weren't quite finished when I had to leave for the day. They said they would come back the next morning to finish in time for the installation. But then they also wanted to leave a giant bag of insulation in my garage for several days until they could get around to it. Said they had to get to their next job. Told them no, they needed to take it. Have to finish 1 job before you can move on. A little late the next day but they showed up and finished the removal. Now I will say, I have high expectations for any work done to my house. The removals guys were nice and cleaned up after themselves but some of the work in the attic could have been a little better. Left some of the removed items.
Installer showed up and i showed him everything and he got started. Estimate said the insulation would be 5.5" thick (nominal average) on the ceiling and 3.5" on the walls. This made complete sense as that is the depth of the bays created by the 2x6 and 2x4 lumber so my expectation based on that and other installations I had looked at online were that the bays would be filled with the variation coming in to play on the expansion of the foam. The R value of this foam is 3.8 / inch. When he was done and went and looked and found that the coverage was no where near filling the bays. Generally it was about 2.5-3.5 inches over about 95% of the ceiling and in very few areas was it even close to 5.5. I brought this to the installers attention and asked if it was done expanding. He said yes and when I showed him what I was talking about, he said he had been doing it for 13 years and this was how he always did it. He had me talk to the owner (Austin who did the estimate). He kept telling me it was nominal average and because they did 8-10 inches at the soffits it made up for it. That's not the way averages work and it's not the way insulation works. We went back and forth and I told him i simply wasn't happy and it needed to be fixed to match the contract. Paid most of the cost, but held back 20% until it was done.
They came out this week and the installer was still telling me it was thicker than i thought. Said I should stick a ruler in there to see. Well, I happened to have a 6" steel ruler handy (because I had already done that) and proceeded to show him the 1-3 inch measurements. He resprayed a second coat over the entire are and it ended up being the way it should have been in the beginning.

I called to have old attic insulation removed and new insulation blown in to replace it. Austin the owner gave me a competitive price and was prompt responding to me. His crew was very courteous and respectful while doing the work. They did everything asked of them. They arrived on time and did the job professionally. They also went out of their way to make sure everything was clean. I would highly recommend this company.

Austin was great from the estimate to finishing up the job. We've been having issues with moisture in the upstairs closets mostly due to a lack of insulation in the attic. I had some quotes from other contractors and Austin's price was right with the other guys. He was able to come out the next day to start the project. Both guys were very knowledgeable and answered all of my million questions. They were respectful of my home and did a thorough cleaning after they finished spray foaming. I would highly recommend these guys!

Does Atlanta's summer humidity mean my insulation needs to come out sooner?
Often, yes. South metro Atlanta’s long, muggy summers, along with storm-driven moisture, can leave attic insulation damp, compressed, and prone to mold sooner than it would in a drier climate. Once it holds moisture, insulation loses R-value and can drag down your indoor air quality. Removing the affected material, and treating for mold when needed, gives the attic a clean, dry base before new insulation goes in.
Should I remove my old insulation or add more over it?
If the existing insulation is dry, clean, and intact, topping it off can be an efficient way to reach the R-49 level recommended for the Atlanta area. Removal is the better move when the material is damp, moldy, pest-contaminated, or storm-damaged, because adding to a compromised layer seals the trouble in. A free attic assessment shows which approach fits your home.
How long does an insulation removal project take?
Most residential attic removals are finished within a day, though the exact time depends on the size of the attic, how much material is coming out, and whether mold or pest contamination calls for extra cleaning and treatment. After a free on-site assessment, we give you a realistic timeline along with your quote, so you know what to expect before we begin.
