What Animal Hoarder Cleanup Means for a Fountain Valley, CA Property

Cleaning up after animal hoarding means removing the source of odor, not covering it. Soaked carpet, padding, drywall and flooring are taken out, then the structure is cleaned and treated.

If your Fountain Valley house needs more than ordinary cleaning, call Fountain Valley Biohazard Cleanup Help. You get respiratory protection, approved disinfectants and the right methods to treat urine, feces and odor at the source, anywhere in Orange County.

Summer highs in Fountain Valley are milder, around 79 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas. Only about 6% of homes in Orange County are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore.

A typical animal hoarding cleanup job includes:

  • Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching
  • Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms
  • Plain-language notes on damage found, useful for landlords, buyers and insurers
  • Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time
  • Safe bagging and disposal of waste, handled as regulated waste when needed

Questions Owners and Landlords in Fountain Valley, CA Ask About Animal Waste Cleanup

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.

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.

What is animal hoarding cleanup?

It is the cleaning of a home after too many animals were kept in it to be cared for well. Crews in protective gear remove waste and soiled materials, scrub, disinfect and treat odor. The animals are handled first by an agency such as animal control or a rescue group.

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.

Will repairs be needed after cleanup?

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 health risks come from animal waste in a home?

Urine and feces release ammonia, which irritates the eyes and lungs. Waste can carry bacteria and parasites, and some diseases pass between animals and people. Fleas, ticks, rodents, dust and mold add to the problem. Anyone who feels unwell after time in the home should see a doctor.
