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If you’ve noticed that your home is drafty, hard to heat or cool, or your energy bills are higher than usual, outdated or damaged insulation could be the culprit.

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.Ran out of text...Will try and add another review with the rest
Austin and his team did a great job with communication, showing up quickly and helping us with our insulation needs in our older home. He was also very fair with pricing and we hope it’ll make a big difference with summer heat and winter months!
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!
