When was the last time you thought about your attic insulation? If your home is like many in Atlanta, Decatur, Marietta, and surrounding areas, there’s a good chance your attic is packed with old, dirty insulation that’s no longer doing its job. Worse yet, you might have unwanted guests—and we’re not talking about in-laws. 🐀
At Bird Family Insulation, we specialize in insulation removal and upgrades to help homeowners create a healthier, more energy-efficient home. And trust us—some of the attics we’ve seen will make your skin crawl!
Why Should You Remove Old Insulation?
- Poor Air Quality
Over time, attic insulation collects dust, allergens, rodent droppings, mold, and other contaminants. This debris doesn’t just stay in the attic—it circulates through your HVAC system and into your home. If you or your family experience allergies, asthma, or frequent colds, your attic might be to blame.
- Rodent and Pest Infestations
Insulation makes the perfect nesting material for pests like rats, squirrels, and insects. If you’ve ever heard scratching in the attic or found droppings in your home, there’s a good chance they’ve been living rent-free in your insulation. Removing contaminated insulation and sealing entry points is key to keeping your home pest-free.
- Energy Loss & Higher Bills
Many older homes in Roswell, Alpharetta, and Lawrenceville were built with minimal insulation, meaning they lose heat in the winter and cool air in the summer. Not only does this make your home less comfortable, but it also forces your HVAC system to work overtime, driving up your energy bills.

✅ Safe & Clean Removal – Using a high-powered vacuum system, we remove all old insulation and debris without making a mess in your home.
✅ Air Sealing – Before installing new insulation, we seal air leaks around can lights, pipes, and attic doors to prevent energy loss.
