I believe the answer is:

bearing out

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'confirming' is the definition.

'the removal of from the house?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is present in the answer.
'house?' could be 'bear' (housing is a kind of bearing) and 'bear' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'gu' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
