Removal in Campo, CA.
Removal for Campo 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. We bag the area off, run a high-volume vacuum hose to a truck on the curb, and pull the old material out without dragging it through the house.
