Protective equipment is put on, and the crew plans for ammonia, dust, pests and sharp objects. Utilities and exits are checked.

2. Contain the area

Affected rooms are separated from clean ones, and hauling paths are planned. This keeps odor and dust from spreading.

Heavy waste and debris go first, then ruined materials, then scrubbing and disinfecting. The work moves from the worst rooms outward.

What does the owner need to do before calling?

Confirm that the animals are out, take photos if possible and note any deadline from a landlord, a city office or a sale. If you are the owner or caller, you do not need every detail before calling.
