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.
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.
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.
Often the owner, resident or family pays. For a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Animal control or a rescue group takes care of the animals and usually does not pay for cleaning the home. Some communities offer help for older adults or people with disabilities.
Confirm that the animals are out, take photos if possible and note any deadline from a landlord, a city office or a sale. If you are the owner or caller, you do not need every detail before calling.
