Animal Hoarding & Urine Contamination Cleanup

Animal hoarding cleanup isn't ordinary clutter removal. Urine and feces soak into carpet, pad, drywall, and sometimes the subfloor, and the ammonia odor can make a home unsafe to stay in. If you're facing this in Sun City West, Sun City, Surprise, or Peoria, call (888) 365-3410. We'll connect you, free, with an independent provider equipped for contaminated homes. We don't do the work.

What will it cost? Every job is different, so call for a free quote. For context only (national published ranges, not a quote): HomeGuide's hoarding cleanup range is $1,000–$4,000, but it says pet waste and pests make jobs longer and more expensive. It lists biohazard cleanup, which explicitly includes pet waste, at $1,500–$5,000 on average (HomeGuide). One calculator site puts animal or structural cases at $7–$12 per sq ft, without naming its sources (UseCalcPro).

Safety first

• If animals are alive in the home, their welfare comes first.
• Heavy ammonia odor is a warning sign. Limit time inside until a professional assesses it.
• People with breathing problems, and older residents, shouldn't take part in the cleanup.

Who calls about this

• Families of an older relative who took in more cats or dogs than they could care for
• Executors facing a home where pets lived alone after the owner's death or hospitalization
• Landlords whose unit was damaged by a tenant's animals. Tenant left it a mess? Get connected with a provider who can make it rent-ready.
• HOA or county deadlines, often triggered by odor complaints from neighbors

What the work usually involves

• Protective equipment for workers
• Removal of saturated carpet, pad, and sometimes baseboards and drywall
• Cleaning, disinfection, and odor treatment
• Sometimes subfloor sealing or flooring replacement, which may need a separate contractor
• Pest treatment if fleas or rodents are present (often a separate contractor)

Questions to ask a provider

1. How do you find urine saturation that isn't visible?
2. Is flooring removal and disposal included?
3. What odor treatment do you use? Is there a re-check?
4. Do you coordinate pest control and flooring replacement?
5. Can you show proof of insurance?
