Most homes in Laguna Beach are owner-occupied, with about 34% rented. Owners and their families usually direct the cleanup and decide what is kept.

  • A final inspection of each room and a plan for repairs, pest control and upkeep
  • Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching

Common Questions About Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Laguna Beach, CA

Can the odor be fully removed?

Often yes, when the source is treated. Urine that soaked into subfloors and walls has to be removed or sealed, and covering the smell with fragrance does not last. The team can say what is likely once it has seen the home.

How should I treat the person who kept the animals?

With kindness and without blame. Many people who kept too many animals loved them and wanted to help. Feelings run high after animals are removed, and support from a doctor or counselor can help.

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.

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 much does animal hoarding cleanup cost?

It varies widely. The size of the home, the amount of waste, soaked flooring, odor depth and pests all change the price. The cleanup team gives a real price after seeing the home. Be careful with any quote given sight unseen.

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.
