Old foam backed carpets

Soon I will have to get my upstairs bedrooms recarpeted. Now they were done many years ago with foam backed carpet, and a peak under the edge of one shows that this, in most cases has turned to a kind of microscopic dust. Indeed in some places you can feel its formed hard lumps under the carpet. I've been noticing more dust in the room and at night even some sore eyes. I suspect this dust is the reason. Now although in older times I'd maybehave had a go at removing eye old carpet myself, this looks like a complete nightmare. If you engage a carpet company to fit a new carpet would they be able to get rid of this mess effectively or is it going to be a problem? Maybe they all come with some kind of industrial strength vacuum device to take the dust away? Brian
