Christiansburg, VA Cleanup for Homes Affected by Animal Hoarding
Cleaning up after animal hoarding means removing the source of odor, not covering it. Soaked carpet, padding, drywall and flooring are taken out, then the structure is cleaned and treated.
When animal control or a rescue group has cleared the home, families and property owners in Christiansburg and Montgomery County can call Christiansburg Biohazard Cleanup Help. You get a crew in protective gear to remove animal waste, soaked materials and odor.
Christiansburg sees about 42 inches of rain a year, and damp air and leaks make urine-soaked flooring and walls more prone to mold and odor. With roughly 40% of homes in Christiansburg rented, animal waste cleanup is often driven by a lease, an inspection or a deposit dispute. The team can note conditions for the owner's records.
