Cleaning a Home After Animals Are Removed in Mar Lee, Denver, CO
An animal hoarding cleanup service works on the home, not the animals. Agencies such as animal control, a humane society or a rescue group care for the animals first, and the cleanup follows.
If your Mar Lee house needs more than ordinary cleaning, call Mar Lee Biohazard Cleanup Help. You get respiratory protection, approved disinfectants and the right methods to treat urine, feces and odor at the source, anywhere in Denver County.
About 51% of households in Denver rent, so landlords and property managers often call for animal hoarding cleanup before the next tenant moves in. Rainfall in Mar Lee averages only about 15 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out.
The work often covers:
- Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family
- Control of ammonia and dust with air movement and respiratory protection for the crew
- Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home
- 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

Animal Hoarder Cleanup Questions Answered for Mar Lee, Denver, CO
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.
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.
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.
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.
What is the ammonia smell in the house?
It comes from animal urine breaking down. Ammonia irritates the eyes, throat and lungs, and it soaks into floors and walls. Opening windows helps only briefly, and the smell returns until the source is removed.
