What Animal Hoarder Cleanup Means for a Lakeshore, San Francisco, CA Property

About 62% of households in San Francisco rent, so landlords and property managers often call for animal hoarding cleanup before the next tenant moves in. Rainfall in Lakeshore averages only about 21 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out.
A typical animal hoarding cleanup job includes:
- Control of ammonia and dust with air movement and respiratory protection for the crew
- Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal
- Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home
- Safe bagging and disposal of waste, handled as regulated waste when needed
- Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture

Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Lakeshore, San Francisco, CA
Will personal belongings and papers be saved?
Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside papers, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the owner can name items that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
How long does animal hoarding cleanup take?
A single room is often finished in a day, while a full house can take several days. Size, waste, soaked materials and odor change the timeline. Pest control and repairs come after the cleaning.
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.
Can I clean up after animal hoarding myself?
Only if the area is small, the surface is hard and the air is easy to breathe, and then with gloves, a mask and open windows. Widespread waste, soaked floors, strong odor or pests call for a crew.
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.
Who removes the animals, and who cleans afterward?
Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group usually cares for the animals. A cleanup team takes care of the home afterward. Ask the agency when the home is clear, then call a team to plan the work.
