- Plain-language notes on damage found, useful for landlords, buyers and insurers
- Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family
- Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms

2. Gross removal
Visible waste, spoiled food, bowls, cages and debris are hauled out in bags or bins. Items that cannot be cleaned are discarded.
3. Take out the source of odor
Soaked carpet, padding and drywall are removed so urine does not stay in the structure. Hard surfaces are scrubbed.

Odor treatment follows cleaning, and the team notes any floors, walls or fixtures that need a builder. Pest control is recommended where needed.

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.
What does the owner need to do before calling?
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.
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.

How long does animal hoarding cleanup take?
A single room is often finished in a day, while a full house can take several days. Size, waste, soaked materials and odor change the timeline. Pest control and repairs come after the cleaning.
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.
