An animal hoarding cleanup service works on the home, not the animals. Agencies such as animal control, a humane society or a rescue group care for the animals first, and the cleanup follows.

Get your home restored after animal hoarding in West Carthage and across Jefferson County. Call West Carthage Biohazard Cleanup Help for waste removal, flooring and drywall removal where needed, disinfecting and odor treatment.

About 23% of homes in Jefferson County are vacant, and a property that sat empty after animals were removed can hold waste and odor for a long time. West Carthage sees about 44 inches of rain a year, and damp air and leaks make urine-soaked flooring and walls more prone to mold and odor.

A typical animal hoarding cleanup job includes:

  • Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home
  • 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
  • Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching
  • Taking out carpet, padding, drywall and flooring soaked with urine or waste

Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in West Carthage, NY

Is animal hoarding cleanup different from pet odor cleaning?

Yes. Pet odor cleaning is meant for a few accidents on a surface. Animal hoarding cleanup deals with widespread waste, soaked materials, ammonia, pests and structural odor, and it needs protective gear and removal work.

Do the animals have to be gone before cleanup starts?

Yes. Cleanup does not begin while animals are still in the home. Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group should clear the property first, and the cleanup team can then plan its work.

How much does animal hoarding cleanup cost?

It varies widely. The size of the home, the amount of waste, soaked flooring, odor depth and pests all change the price. The cleanup team gives a real price after seeing the home. Be careful with any quote given sight unseen.

Can the odor be fully removed?

Often yes, when the source is treated. Urine that soaked into subfloors and walls has to be removed or sealed, and covering the smell with fragrance does not last. The team can say what is likely once it has seen the home.

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.

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.
