Questions Owners and Families in East Highland Park, VA Ask About Unsanitary Home Cleanup

What if pests or mold are found?

The crew cleans up the mess they leave behind, such as droppings, debris and damaged materials. Pest control and mold remediation are separate trades, and the team can say when they are needed.

Can I clean up a filthy home myself?

Only if the area is small, the surfaces are hard and nothing hazardous is present, and then with gloves, a mask and open windows. Widespread waste, mold, pests or strong odor call for a crew. Never mix cleaning chemicals.

What should you not say to someone living in a squalid home?

Avoid words like disgusting or filthy and never say they should be ashamed. Do not throw things out without asking. Stay calm, listen and focus on safety and the next small step.

What is the difference between squalor and hoarding?

Hoarding is about a build-up of belongings, and hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition. Squalor is about unsanitary conditions such as waste, rot and pests. The two can overlap, and a team can handle both in one plan.

Can the cleanup help with a deadline from the city or a landlord?

Often yes. Tell the team about the date on the first call so it can plan the crew and the schedule. A cleanup team cannot decide what a city or landlord requires, but it can work toward it.

Is squalor cleanup done before a tenant moves in?

It can be. Property managers and landlords sometimes schedule cleanup before a new tenant moves in, and some require proof that cleaning was done. The team can note the condition of the home for the owner's records.
