Rainfall in Dublin averages only about 15 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out. Most homes in Dublin are owner-occupied, with about 34% rented. Owners and their families usually direct the cleanup and decide what is kept.
What animal hoarding cleanup covers:
- Control of ammonia and dust with air movement and respiratory protection for the crew
- Safe bagging and disposal of waste, handled as regulated waste when needed
- Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal
- Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms
- Removal of animal urine, feces, bedding and soiled debris from floors, rooms and crates

Common Questions About Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Dublin, CA
How much does animal hoarding cleanup cost?
It varies widely. The size of the home, the amount of waste, soaked flooring, odor depth and pests all change the price. The cleanup team gives a real price after seeing the home. Be careful with any quote given sight unseen.
How should I treat the person who kept the animals?
With kindness and without blame. Many people who kept too many animals loved them and wanted to help. Feelings run high after animals are removed, and support from a doctor or counselor can help.
Will personal belongings and papers be saved?
Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside papers, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the owner can name items that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
Why does carpet or flooring need to be removed?
Urine soaks through carpet and padding into the subfloor, where it keeps producing odor. Removing soaked materials takes out the source. Hard surfaces that can be cleaned are scrubbed and disinfected instead.
What health risks come from animal waste in a home?
Urine and feces release ammonia, which irritates the eyes and lungs. Waste can carry bacteria and parasites, and some diseases pass between animals and people. Fleas, ticks, rodents, dust and mold add to the problem. Anyone who feels unwell after time in the home should see a doctor.
Can the odor be fully removed?
Often yes, when the source is treated. Urine that soaked into subfloors and walls has to be removed or sealed, and covering the smell with fragrance does not last. The team can say what is likely once it has seen the home.
