- Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms

Common Questions About Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Great Falls, SC
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.
Who removes the animals, and who cleans afterward?
Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group usually cares for the animals. A cleanup team takes care of the home afterward. Ask the agency when the home is clear, then call a team to plan the work.
Does insurance cover animal hoarding cleanup?
Usually not. Policies often exclude cleaning caused by long-term conditions, though some cover sudden events such as a burst pipe. Read the policy or ask the agent, take photos and keep every receipt.
Is extreme cleaning the same as animal hoarding cleanup?
Not exactly. Extreme cleaning is a broad term for homes in very poor condition, while animal hoarding cleanup targets animal waste, odor and damage. The two can overlap, and a team can combine them in one plan.
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.
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.
