Extreme Cleaning Questions Answered for Ferndale, PA

Does insurance cover squalor cleanup?

Usually not, since policies often exclude cleaning caused by long-term conditions. Some policies cover sudden events such as a burst pipe or a sewage backup. Read the policy, ask the agent, take photos and keep every receipt.

Is a squalid home a biohazard?

It can be. When human or animal waste, blood, body fluids or sharp objects are present, the cleanup follows biohazard methods. Crews wear protective gear and follow rules such as the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030.

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.

Can I clean up a filthy home myself?

Only if the area is small, the surfaces are hard and nothing hazardous is present, and then with gloves, a mask and open windows. Widespread waste, mold, pests or strong odor call for a crew. Never mix cleaning chemicals.

Is squalor cleanup done before a tenant moves in?

It can be. Property managers and landlords sometimes schedule cleanup before a new tenant moves in, and some require proof that cleaning was done. The team can note the condition of the home for the owner's records.

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.
