What Animal Hoarder Cleanup Means for a Pacolet, SC Property

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.

Whether you are a landlord, relative, new owner or caregiver in Spartanburg County, you can call Pacolet Biohazard Cleanup Help for safe, thorough help with a Pacolet home damaged by animal waste. Local animal hoarding cleanup starts with one call.

Only about 9% of homes in Spartanburg County are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore. Pacolet sees about 50 inches of rain a year, and damp air and leaks make urine-soaked flooring and walls more prone to mold and odor.

What animal hoarding cleanup covers:

  • Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture
  • Plain-language notes on damage found, useful for landlords, buyers and insurers
  • A final inspection of each room and a plan for repairs, pest control and upkeep
  • Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal
  • Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family
