Urine, Feces and Odor Cleanup for Gardendale, AL Animal Hoarding Cases
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.

Most homes in Gardendale are owner-occupied, with about 22% rented. Owners and their families usually direct the cleanup and decide what is kept. Gardendale sees about 57 inches of rain a year, and damp air and leaks make urine-soaked flooring and walls more prone to mold and odor.

- Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms

Common Questions About Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Gardendale, AL
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.
Is extreme cleaning the same as animal hoarding cleanup?
Not exactly. Extreme cleaning is a broad term for homes in very poor condition, while animal hoarding cleanup targets animal waste, odor and damage. The two can overlap, and a team can combine them in one plan.
Can a landlord require animal hoarding cleanup?
Often yes. A lease and local housing rules usually let a landlord require a safe, sanitary unit. A tenant rights group or an attorney can explain what applies. A cleanup team can often work toward a deadline.
What is animal hoarding cleanup?
It is the cleaning of a home after too many animals were kept in it to be cared for well. Crews in protective gear remove waste and soiled materials, scrub, disinfect and treat odor. The animals are handled first by an agency such as animal control or a rescue group.
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.
How much does animal hoarding cleanup cost?
