Cleaning up after animal hoarding means removing the source of odor, not covering it. Soaked carpet, padding, drywall and flooring are taken out, then the structure is cleaned and treated.
If your New Milford house needs more than ordinary cleaning, call New Milford Biohazard Cleanup Help. You get respiratory protection, approved disinfectants and the right methods to treat urine, feces and odor at the source, anywhere in Bergen County.
New Milford sees about 46 inches of rain a year, and damp air and leaks make urine-soaked flooring and walls more prone to mold and odor. Only about 4% of homes in Bergen County are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore.
