A landlord, a sale or a hospital discharge may set a date. The team asks about keys, parking and who will be on site.

2. Contain the affected area

Affected rooms are separated from cleaner ones, and fans or air control are set up. This keeps odor and dust from spreading.

3. Remove and haul

Trash, spoiled food and ruined items are bagged and carried out. Papers, photos and valuables are set aside first.

Can the cleanup help with a deadline from the city or a landlord?

Often yes. Tell the team about the date on the first call so it can plan the crew and the schedule. A cleanup team cannot decide what a city or landlord requires, but it can work toward it.

What comes after the cleanup?

Repairs, pest control or a final deep clean, depending on what was found. The team passes along notes on damage so the owner can plan. For an occupied home, support from a doctor, counselor or local group can help the clean last.

What is squalor cleanup?

What if pests or mold are found?
