Animal Waste Cleanup After Hoarding in North Beach, San Francisco, CA

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.

Your animal hoarding cleanup in North Beach stays private when you call North Beach Biohazard Cleanup Help. The crew works discreetly, speaks respectfully and sets aside personal papers and keepsakes for the owner or family across San Francisco County.

About 12% of homes in San Francisco are vacant, and a property that sat empty after animals were removed can hold waste and odor for a long time. Rainfall in North Beach averages only about 21 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out.

The work often covers:

  • Cleanup of fleas, flies, droppings and other pest debris left behind
  • Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home
  • Taking out carpet, padding, drywall and flooring soaked with urine or waste
  • Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family
  • Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal
