Removal for La Presa 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.

Inland heat plus SDG&E fire-zone designation make both energy upgrade ROI and ember-resistant ventilation upgrades essential on every project.. East County removal jobs run heavy on rodent damage and smoke staining from past wildfires.
Do you handle rodent dropping cleanup?
Yes. We treat fouled insulation as biohazard, bag it on the way out, and sanitize the deck before the new insulation goes in. If there is an active infestation, you will need a pest contractor to seal entry points first, we can recommend one.
What if it's vermiculite?
Vermiculite from before 1990 may contain asbestos. We do not remove asbestos-containing material, that's a state-licensed abatement scope. We will identify it on the first visit, refer you to a licensed abatement contractor, and reinsulate after they're done.
