Filth and Squalor Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Alderwood Manor, WA

What is squalor cleanup?

Squalor cleanup is the removal of filth, waste, spoiled food and contamination from a home in unsanitary condition, followed by deep cleaning and disinfecting. It is also called filth cleanup or extreme cleaning. A cleanup team uses protective gear and approved products.

Does the resident need to be present?

Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.

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.

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.

How do you clean a house in unsanitary condition?

Remove trash and spoiled food first, then waste and soiled materials, then scrub and disinfect, and finish with odor treatment. Protective gear is important, and mixed cleaning chemicals should never be used together.

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.
