Animal Waste Cleanup After Hoarding in Carmichael, CA

Cleaning up after animal hoarding means removing the source of odor, not covering it. Soaked carpet, padding, drywall and flooring are taken out, then the structure is cleaned and treated.

For animal waste cleanup in Carmichael, the work starts by confirming the animals are gone, then planning around the rooms affected in your home. Call Carmichael Biohazard Cleanup Help, and the team explains each stage in plain words, anywhere in Sacramento County.

Rainfall in Carmichael averages only about 19 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out. Only about 6% of homes in Carmichael are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore.

A typical animal hoarding cleanup job includes:

  • Taking out carpet, padding, drywall and flooring soaked with urine or waste
  • Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture
  • Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms
  • Removal of animal urine, feces, bedding and soiled debris from floors, rooms and crates
  • A final inspection of each room and a plan for repairs, pest control and upkeep
