Cleaning a Home After Animals Are Removed in Kettering, OH

Get your home restored after animal hoarding in Kettering and across Montgomery County. Call Kettering Biohazard Cleanup Help for waste removal, flooring and drywall removal where needed, disinfecting and odor treatment.
Only about 4% of homes in Kettering are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore. Kettering sees about 42 inches of rain a year, and damp air and leaks make urine-soaked flooring and walls more prone to mold and odor.

Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Kettering, OH
Do the animals have to be gone before cleanup starts?
Yes. Cleanup does not begin while animals are still in the home. Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group should clear the property first, and the cleanup team can then plan its work.
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.
Why does carpet or flooring need to be removed?
Urine soaks through carpet and padding into the subfloor, where it keeps producing odor. Removing soaked materials takes out the source. Hard surfaces that can be cleaned are scrubbed and disinfected instead.
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.
Does insurance cover animal hoarding cleanup?
Usually not. Policies often exclude cleaning caused by long-term conditions, though some cover sudden events such as a burst pipe. Read the policy or ask the agent, take photos and keep every receipt.
What is involved in cleaning a home after animal hoarding?
Crews bag waste and soiled bedding, remove soaked flooring and drywall, scrub and disinfect, and treat odor at the source. They wear protective suits and respiratory protection. A final inspection confirms that each room is ready for repairs.
