How Crews Restore a Home After Animal Hoarding in Millbrae, CA

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. Contain the area

Affected rooms are separated from clean ones, and hauling paths are planned. This keeps odor and dust from spreading.

3. Take out the source of odor

Soaked carpet, padding and drywall are removed so urine does not stay in the structure. Hard surfaces are scrubbed.

4. Disinfect and treat odor

Surfaces are scrubbed and disinfected, and odor is treated at its source. A final check confirms each room is ready for repairs or use.
