How Crews Restore a Home After Animal Hoarding in Mount Olivet, Detroit, MI

1. Confirm the animals are gone

Cleanup begins once animal control, a humane society or a rescue group has removed the animals. The crew works only in a home that is clear of animals.

2. Assess the home

The team walks the property to see which rooms are affected, how much waste there is and which materials are soaked. This sets the plan and the price range.

3. Clean from the source

Waste and ruined materials are removed first, so cleaning and disinfecting reach the structure. Items worth saving are cleaned separately.

4. Clean, deodorize and walk through

Floors, walls and fixtures are cleaned and treated. The team walks the home and explains what may need repair or pest control.
