Filth and Squalor Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Ocean Lakes, Virginia Beach, VA
Can a team clean after the resident has moved out or passed away?
Yes. A cleanup team can clear and clean a home once the resident has moved, entered care or died. The family or estate decides what is kept, and the work moves at their pace.
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.
Who pays for squalor cleanup?
Most often the resident, owner or family pays. For a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Some communities offer help for older adults or people with disabilities, and a local aging service or community group may know what exists.
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.
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.
Can the cleanup help with a deadline from the city or a landlord?
Often yes. Tell the team about the date on the first call so it can plan the crew and the schedule. A cleanup team cannot decide what a city or landlord requires, but it can work toward it.
