Deep Cleaning and Disinfection

Biohazard and Pest Handling
If we find animal waste, blood, or pests, we handle it according to OSHA and South Carolina DHEC guidelines. We use biohazard bags, sharps containers, and PPE to protect everyone.

How it works
Our Basement Hoarding Cleanup Process
We visit your Summerville property, assess the basement's condition, and provide a written estimate. We check for structural damage, mold, pests, and biohazards. You'll get a clear price and timeline within 24 hours. No obligation, no pressure.
Our crew arrives in Tyvek suits and respirators. We set up negative air machines and air scrubbers to contain dust and spores. We also place dumpsters and roll-off containers in your driveway, protecting floors and walls with plastic sheeting.
We sort through items, setting aside anything you want to keep. Then we bag trash in heavy-duty contractor bags and haul it out. Bulky items like furniture and appliances go into dumpsters. This step usually takes one to three days, depending on volume.
After removal, we vacuum all surfaces with industrial HEPA vacuums, scrub walls and floors with disinfectants, and treat mold with EPA-registered chemicals. If pests are present, we coordinate with a licensed pest control partner. We also use moisture meters to check for hidden dampness.
We run ozone or hydroxyl generators to neutralize lingering odors. For severe cases, we use thermal foggers with OdorX or Chemspec solutions. The basement is then ventilated and inspected. You'll receive a final walkthrough and a 30-day odor-free guarantee.

Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Industrial HEPA vacuums
Capture fine dust, mold spores, and allergens that ordinary vacuums miss. We use them on all surfaces after debris removal.
Ozone and hydroxyl generators
Neutralize odors from mold, urine, and decay. These machines penetrate porous materials to eliminate smells at the source.
Negative air machines and air scrubbers
Create negative pressure to contain dust and spores during cleanup. They also improve air quality for our crew and your home.
Thermal foggers
Apply OdorX or Chemspec solutions as a fine mist that reaches cracks and crevices. Ideal for severe odors after hoarding.
Moisture meters
Detect hidden dampness in concrete and wood. This helps us find mold risks before they spread.
Dumpsters and roll-off containers
Haul away large volumes of debris in one trip. We place them carefully to avoid damaging your driveway or lawn.
