What's included
What's Included in Fire Damage Hoarding Cleanup
Our service covers the full scope of fire damage cleanup in hoarded homes. We handle everything from debris removal to final air quality checks. Additional services like mold remediation or pest control are available as add-ons.
Soot and Ash Cleaning
We HEPA-vacuum all surfaces and scrub soot from walls, ceilings, and floors. Cleaning solutions and disinfectants are used to remove fine ash that can cause respiratory issues.
Odor Neutralization
We use ozone generators, thermal foggers, and hydroxyl generators to eliminate smoke odor. Odor neutralizers and encapsulants are applied to porous surfaces for long-lasting results.
Biohazard Cleanup
If biohazards are present, our certified technicians remove and dispose of them safely. We use sharps containers, biohazard bags, and PPE to protect everyone on-site.
Insurance Documentation
We photograph and inventory all removed items. This documentation supports your insurance claim and helps adjusters process it quickly. We can communicate directly with your carrier.
Final Inspection
We conduct a final walkthrough to ensure the home is clean, safe, and odor-free. Air scrubbers run until air quality meets our standards. You get a detailed report of the work completed.
How it works
Our Fire Damage Hoarding Cleanup Process
We start with a walkthrough to assess structural damage, identify hazards, and estimate debris volume. We check for blocked utilities, unstable piles, and biohazards. You get a written estimate and a timeline, usually within 24 hours.
We establish containment barriers and set up negative air machines to prevent cross-contamination. Technicians suit up in Tyvek suits, respirators, and nitrile gloves. We place dumpsters and roll-off containers outside for efficient debris removal.
We remove fire-damaged items room by room, starting with exits and pathways. Biohazard waste is separated into sharps containers and biohazard bags. Usable items are boxed for storage. Debris is hauled to a licensed facility.
After debris removal, we HEPA-vacuum all surfaces, scrub soot from walls and ceilings, and clean floors with disinfectants and sanitizers. We use cleaning carts and caddies to keep supplies organized. This step removes the fine ash that causes respiratory issues.
We run ozone generators and thermal foggers to neutralize smoke odor. Air scrubbers run continuously to improve air quality. We apply odor encapsulants to porous surfaces. A final inspection ensures the home meets our cleanliness standard before we pack up.
