Removal in Del Mar, CA.
Removal for Del Mar homes, done by a vetted local insulation crew. Old insulation that has been chewed by rodents, soaked by a roof leak, or covered in soot from a fire isn't worth saving. The crews we send bag the area off, run a high-volume vacuum hose to the extraction unit outside, and pull the old material out without dragging it through the house.
Why is removal different in Coastal San Diego?
Coastal removal calls usually trace to roof leaks in older Coronado and Imperial Beach homes, wet insulation has to come out before new layers go in. The pro tests for moisture and inspect the deck before reinsulating.

Yes. Fouled insulation is treated as a biohazard, bagged for disposal, and the deck is sanitized before the new insulation goes in. If there is an active infestation, you will need a pest contractor to seal entry points first, the pro can recommend one.

Vermiculite from before 1990 may contain asbestos. The pro does not remove asbestos-containing material, that's a state-licensed abatement scope. The pro will identify it on the first visit, refer you to a licensed abatement contractor, and reinsulate after they're done.
