With roughly 63% of homes in Harrisburg 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. Harrisburg sees about 45 inches of rain a year, and damp air and leaks make urine-soaked flooring and walls more prone to mold and odor.

  • Taking out carpet, padding, drywall and flooring soaked with urine or waste
  • A final inspection of each room and a plan for repairs, pest control and upkeep
  • Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time
  • Control of ammonia and dust with air movement and respiratory protection for the crew

3. Clean from the source

Waste and ruined materials are removed first, so cleaning and disinfecting reach the structure. Items worth saving are cleaned separately.

Questions Owners and Landlords in Harrisburg, PA Ask About Animal Waste Cleanup

Is extreme cleaning the same as animal hoarding cleanup?

Not exactly. Extreme cleaning is a broad term for homes in very poor condition, while animal hoarding cleanup targets animal waste, odor and damage. The two can overlap, and a team can combine them in one plan.

What health risks come from animal waste in a home?

Urine and feces release ammonia, which irritates the eyes and lungs. Waste can carry bacteria and parasites, and some diseases pass between animals and people. Fleas, ticks, rodents, dust and mold add to the problem. Anyone who feels unwell after time in the home should see a doctor.

What is animal hoarding cleanup?

It is the cleaning of a home after too many animals were kept in it to be cared for well. Crews in protective gear remove waste and soiled materials, scrub, disinfect and treat odor. The animals are handled first by an agency such as animal control or a rescue group.

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.

How much does animal hoarding cleanup cost?

It varies widely. The size of the home, the amount of waste, soaked flooring, odor depth and pests all change the price. The cleanup team gives a real price after seeing the home. Be careful with any quote given sight unseen.

Who pays for animal hoarding cleanup?

Often the owner, resident or family pays. For a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Animal control or a rescue group takes care of the animals and usually does not pay for cleaning the home. Some communities offer help for older adults or people with disabilities.
