Questions Owners and Families in Tatum, TX Ask About Unsanitary Home Cleanup

Can a regular cleaning service handle a squalid home?

Usually not. A regular service is not equipped for waste, spoiled food, mold or pests. Squalor cleanup teams bring protective gear, hauling and disinfecting, and they know when to stop and call another trade.

Can the cleanup help with a deadline from the city or a landlord?

Often yes. Tell the team about the date on the first call so it can plan the crew and the schedule. A cleanup team cannot decide what a city or landlord requires, but it can work toward it.

How long does squalor cleanup take?

A single room is often done in a day, while a whole home can take several days or longer. Size, waste, soiled materials, pests and odor all change the timeline. The team can estimate once it has seen the home.

What is extreme cleaning?

Extreme cleaning is a broad term for cleaning a home that is far beyond ordinary housekeeping. It can include trash removal, deep scrubbing, disinfecting, odor treatment and removal of soiled materials.

How much does filth cleanup cost?

It depends on the size of the home, the amount of waste, soiled materials, odor, pests and access. The cleanup team gives a price after seeing the home. Be careful with any quote given sight unseen.

Will the resident's belongings and papers be saved?

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