What human feces & urine cleanup covers:
Before anything is touched, the crew looks over the room for sharp objects, hidden pooling and belongings worth saving.
Crews test how far urine and waste travelled into carpet, padding, mattress layers and subfloor, since the surface rarely shows the full picture.
Waste is removed layer by layer. Surfaces get a detailed clean followed by an EPA-registered disinfectant.
The crew inspects each affected area, hauls away the waste and can provide notes for insurance claims.
