Filth and Squalor Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Santa Teresa, San Jose, CA
Is squalor cleanup done before a tenant moves in?
It can be. Property managers and landlords sometimes schedule cleanup before a new tenant moves in, and some require proof that cleaning was done. The team can note the condition of the home for the owner's records.
What is extreme cleaning?
Extreme cleaning is a broad term for cleaning a home that is far beyond ordinary housekeeping. It can include trash removal, deep scrubbing, disinfecting, odor treatment and removal of soiled materials.
What happens to items that are removed?
Usable goods go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, soiled or unsafe items go to disposal, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.
Does the resident need to be present?
Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.
Will the resident's belongings and papers be saved?
Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside documents, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the resident can name anything that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
Does insurance cover squalor cleanup?
Usually not, since policies often exclude cleaning caused by long-term conditions. Some policies cover sudden events such as a burst pipe or a sewage backup. Read the policy, ask the agent, take photos and keep every receipt.
