In Raleigh, North Carolina, Chris Jackson and his team at Crawl Space Ninja are known for their dedication to healthier, cleaner homes. Specializing in crawl space repair, moisture control, and insulation removal, they always look for better tools to serve homeowners efficiently. Recently, Chris invested in a VacTrailer™ with the CoolVac40 fiberglass removal vacuum, and it has completely changed how his crew handles crawl space projects.
Efficient Debris and Insulation Removal
Every crawl space project begins with clearing debris from the floor—loose dirt, old vapor barriers, and leftover construction scraps all have to go before insulation can be removed. After this prep work, the real challenge begins: tackling fiberglass insulation batts.
Damaged fiberglass is one of the biggest issues in older crawl spaces. It absorbs moisture, harbors allergens, and loses all insulating value once compromised. Traditionally, removing it is tedious, messy, and time-consuming—something contractors like Chris used to spend three to four hours doing in a standard 2,000-square-foot home.
With the upgraded fiberglass removal vacuum system, that same work now takes just 45 minutes.
How the Fiberglass Removal Vacuum Saves Time
The CoolVac40, paired with the VacTrailer™, is specifically designed to make insulation removal fast, clean, and efficient. Instead of manually bagging loads of insulation in crawl spaces, crews attach long, organized hoses that feed directly into the dump trailer. The result is faster work with far less mess.
Chris highlighted several reasons why the fiberglass removal vacuum setup has been a game-changer:
- Faster setup and teardown – The VacTrailer’s hose reels make everything accessible and ready to go in minutes.
- Easy hose management – Long, big diameter vacuum hoses are organized and tangle-free.
- Dump trailer efficiency – No more filling countless heavy bags of fiberglass batts. Everything goes straight into the trailer for quick disposal.
- Strong suction power – The CoolVac40 has no problem pulling down old, damaged fiberglass insulation, even in tough conditions.
- Cleaner yards for homeowners – Because the insulation is vacuumed directly into the trailer, there’s no debris scattered across lawns or driveways.
From Hours to Minutes: Real Jobsite Results
To launch the new equipment, we spent the first day installing the hose reels and fiberglass removal vacuum inside the VacTrailer™. On the second day, we joined Chris on an actual crawl space insulation removal project. His team quickly picked up the process, and within less than an hour, they had cleared an entire crawl space that would have previously taken half a day or longer.
The proof was undeniable: the fiberglass removal vacuum and VacTrailer™ combination reduced labor time by more than 75%, transforming efficiency on the job.
Boosting Business with Better Tools
For Chris Jackson and Crawl Space Ninja, the benefits extend beyond speed. By eliminating wasted hours and frustrating cleanup, the team can focus more on high-value services like vapor barrier installation, air sealing, and crawl space encapsulation. This not only improves service quality but also creates happier customers who notice the difference in how neat and efficient the process is.
A Cleaner, Faster Path to Crawl Space Solutions
Crawl space work doesn’t have to be messy and exhausting. With the VacTrailer™ and CoolVac40 fiberglass removal vacuum, Chris Jackson has set a new standard in Raleigh for crawl space remediation. Jobs finish faster, yards stay cleaner, and customers get healthier homes without the headache of long, drawn-out projects.
For contractors seeking a proven way to save time and boost customer satisfaction, a fiberglass removal vacuum might be the most valuable upgrade they can make.
