How Crews Restore a Home After Animal Hoarding in Waterford, CT

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. Protect what matters

Papers, photos, medicine and valuables are gathered and kept apart from contaminated areas. The owner can name anything that must be saved.

3. Clean from the source

Waste and ruined materials are removed first, so cleaning and disinfecting reach the structure. Items worth saving are cleaned separately.

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.
