The price depends on the amount of waste, how long it sat, how deep it soaked in and how many rooms are affected. A cleanup company gives a price after seeing the affected area. Some teams offer payment plans, so ask when you call.
The odor is unpleasant and can irritate the nose, throat and eyes. Dried waste can release particles when disturbed, so avoid sweeping or scrubbing it. Open a window if you can and call a cleanup team for large amounts.
Strong fumes can cause headaches, nausea and irritation, especially in a closed room. Long-term exposure in a heavily contaminated home is a health concern. Leave the room, ventilate it and have a cleanup team remove the source.
There is no safe rule for how long. Germs in waste can remain on surfaces and in dust after the waste has dried. That is why aged waste is still cleaned and disinfected with protection.
Usually not when waste has soaked through. Mattresses, couches and padded furniture absorb liquid deep inside, and surface cleaning does not reach it. Soaked items are typically removed and disposed of as waste.
It depends on the amount of waste, the surfaces involved and how many rooms are affected. A small mess on tile is a short job. Waste that reached carpet, padding or subfloor takes longer because materials must be removed.
