Common Questions About Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Hastings, MI
Why does carpet or flooring need to be removed?
Urine soaks through carpet and padding into the subfloor, where it keeps producing odor. Removing soaked materials takes out the source. Hard surfaces that can be cleaned are scrubbed and disinfected instead.
How should I treat the person who kept the animals?
With kindness and without blame. Many people who kept too many animals loved them and wanted to help. Feelings run high after animals are removed, and support from a doctor or counselor can help.
Can I clean up after animal hoarding myself?
Only if the area is small, the surface is hard and the air is easy to breathe, and then with gloves, a mask and open windows. Widespread waste, soaked floors, strong odor or pests call for a crew.
What if pests such as fleas or rodents are in the home?
The crew works with added protection and removes the waste and debris pests feed on. Pest control is a separate trade, and the team can say when to schedule it, usually before or soon after cleaning.
Does the resident need to be present?
Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.
Will repairs be needed after cleanup?
Sometimes. Flooring, drywall, baseboards and paint may need replacing once soaked and chewed materials are removed. The team notes what it finds so a builder can plan the repairs.
