Attic Insulation Removal & Decontamination
Old, contaminated attic insulation is a health hazard and an energy drain. Koons Crawl Space Solutions removes it safely using an 18-horsepower commercial vacuum, decontaminates with Benefect Decor 30 fogging, seals air leaks, and fixes any electrical issues we find — all while keeping your home's air clean throughout the process.

Attic insulation doesn't last forever. Over time it becomes a breeding ground for mold, rodent contamination, pest debris, and airborne allergens. It also settles and loses R-value, driving up your energy bills. Before new insulation can do its job, the old material has to come out completely — and that job requires the right equipment and the right process.
We use an 18-horsepower commercial attic vacuum to remove all old insulation quickly and thoroughly, with the collection system staged outside your home so contaminated material never passes through your living space. Once the attic is clear, we fog with Benefect Decor 30 — a hospital-grade botanical disinfectant — to eliminate mold spores, bacteria, and odors before anything new goes in.
Our Full Attic Removal Process
Free Attic Assessment
We inspect your attic for contamination, moisture damage, pest activity, air leaks, and any electrical concerns before we quote the job. No surprises.
18-HP Vacuum Removal
Our 18-horsepower commercial vacuum pulls all old insulation out through a hose routed directly outside. Your living space stays clean — no dust, no debris tracked through the house.
Benefect Decor 30 Fogging
We fog the entire attic with Benefect Decor 30, a hospital-grade botanical disinfectant. It kills mold spores, bacteria, and odor-causing organisms without harsh chemical residue.
Air Sealing
With the attic bare, we seal bypasses, gaps around penetrations, and other air leaks that let conditioned air escape. This step alone can significantly reduce energy costs.
Electrical Inspection & Repair
Old insulation often hides damaged wiring, improper junction boxes, and fire hazards. We identify and address any electrical issues we find before new insulation covers them back up.
Ready for New Insulation
Your attic is now clean, decontaminated, air-sealed, and electrically sound — the ideal foundation for new blown-in or batt insulation installation.
What Sets Our Process Apart
18-HP Commercial Vacuum
Our heavy-duty vacuum removes insulation fast and completely, with the collection unit staged outside so contaminated material never enters your living space.
Benefect Decor 30 Fogging
A hospital-grade botanical disinfectant that kills mold, bacteria, and allergens. Safe for occupied homes — no harsh chemical residue left behind.
Air Quality Protection
We seal the attic access and use negative pressure techniques throughout removal to keep your home's air clean and safe during the entire process.
Electrical Safety Check
We inspect all visible wiring, junction boxes, and penetrations while the attic is clear — fixing hazards before they get buried under new insulation.
Air Sealing Included
Every job includes sealing air bypasses and penetrations. This is the step most contractors skip — and it's where a huge portion of energy loss happens.
Full-Service Option
We can remove the old insulation and install new blown-in insulation in the same visit, so your attic is fully upgraded in a single day.

“We had old blown-in insulation full of mouse droppings. Koons came out, vacuumed everything out, fogged the attic, and had new insulation in the same day. The musty smell is completely gone.”

“They found two electrical issues while the attic was clear that could have been serious. Really glad they do a full inspection as part of the process. Professional crew, clean work.”

“I was worried about dust and mess in the house but they kept everything contained. The vacuum hose went straight outside and they sealed off the attic access the whole time. Very impressed.”
