How Crews Restore a Home After Animal Hoarding in East Haven, CT

1. Learn the situation

The team learns who owns the home, which agency handled the animals and whether there is a deadline from a landlord or the city.

2. Contain the area

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

3. Take out the source of odor

Soaked carpet, padding and drywall are removed so urine does not stay in the structure. Hard surfaces are scrubbed.

4. Odor control and final inspection

Odor is treated where it started, and each room is inspected. The owner receives notes about remaining damage or follow-up work.

What is animal hoarding?
