Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Lubbock, TX: Waste, Odor and Damage Removed

Extreme cleaning after animal hoarding is a multi-stage project: protective setup, waste and debris removal, material removal, disinfecting, odor treatment and a final check of each room.

If animal hoarding has damaged your house, apartment or rental in Lubbock or anywhere in Lubbock County, you can get cleanup from Lubbock Biohazard Cleanup Help. The cleanup team works for owners, landlords, relatives and caregivers, once the animals are safely out of the home.

Rainfall in Lubbock averages only about 19 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out. About 49% of households in Lubbock rent, so landlords and property managers often call for animal hoarding cleanup before the next tenant moves in.

What animal hoarding cleanup covers:

  • Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture
  • Taking out carpet, padding, drywall and flooring soaked with urine or waste
  • Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching
  • Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time
  • A final inspection of each room and a plan for repairs, pest control and upkeep

Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Lubbock, TX

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.

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 much does animal hoarding cleanup cost?

It varies widely. The size of the home, the amount of waste, soaked flooring, odor depth and pests all change the price. The cleanup team gives a real price after seeing the home. Be careful with any quote given sight unseen.

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.

Is animal hoarding cleanup different from pet odor cleaning?

Yes. Pet odor cleaning is meant for a few accidents on a surface. Animal hoarding cleanup deals with widespread waste, soaked materials, ammonia, pests and structural odor, and it needs protective gear and removal work.

Will personal belongings and papers be saved?

Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside papers, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the owner can name items that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
