Rainfall in North Park averages only about 11 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out.

A typical animal hoarding cleanup job includes:

  • Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family
  • Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching
  • Control of ammonia and dust with air movement and respiratory protection for the crew
  • Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms
  • Cleanup of fleas, flies, droppings and other pest debris left behind

1. Talk with the caller

The first call covers the size of the home, who owns it and whether the animals are out. No one needs every answer before calling.

2. Assess the home

The team walks the property to see which rooms are affected, how much waste there is and which materials are soaked. This sets the plan and the price range.

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. Odor control and final inspection

Odor is treated where it started, and each room is inspected. The owner receives notes about remaining damage or follow-up work.

Animal Hoarder Cleanup Questions Answered for North Park, San Diego, CA

What if pests such as fleas or rodents are in the home?

The crew works with added protection and removes the waste and debris pests feed on. Pest control is a separate trade, and the team can say when to schedule it, usually before or soon after cleaning.

What is animal hoarding?

Animal hoarding means keeping more animals than a person can care for well, often without seeing that the animals are suffering. Hoarding is a recognized mental health condition, and it is not a character flaw. It needs both animal and human support.

What happens to deceased animals found in the home?

They are handled with care and disposed of properly, as local rules require. The cleanup team can explain how this is done and which agency to contact if needed.

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.

What does the owner need to do before calling?

Confirm that the animals are out, take photos if possible and note any deadline from a landlord, a city office or a sale. If you are the owner or caller, you do not need every detail before calling.

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.
