What animal hoarding cleanup covers:
Cleanup begins once animal control, a humane society or a rescue group has removed the animals. The crew works only in a home that is clear of animals.
The team walks the property to see which rooms are affected, how much waste there is and which materials are soaked. This sets the plan and the price range.
Heavy waste and debris go first, then ruined materials, then scrubbing and disinfecting. The work moves from the worst rooms outward.
Surfaces are scrubbed and disinfected, and odor is treated at its source. A final check confirms each room is ready for repairs or use.
