Urine, Feces and Odor Cleanup for Lakemont, Raleigh, NC Animal Hoarding Cases
Animal hoarding cleanup covers floors, subfloors, walls, furniture, crates and air. Urine soaks deep into porous materials, so surface cleaning alone rarely removes the problem.
Get your home restored after animal hoarding in Lakemont and across Wake County. Call Lakemont Biohazard Cleanup Help for waste removal, flooring and drywall removal where needed, disinfecting and odor treatment.
Only about 10% of homes in Raleigh are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore. Lakemont sees about 49 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:
- Removal of animal urine, feces, bedding and soiled debris from floors, rooms and crates
- Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time
- Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal
- Control of ammonia and dust with air movement and respiratory protection for the crew
- Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture
