Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Uptown, Milwaukee, WI: Waste, Odor and Damage Removed
Animal hoarding cleanup covers floors, subfloors, walls, furniture, crates and air. Urine soaks deep into porous materials, so surface cleaning alone rarely removes the problem.

About 58% of households in Milwaukee rent, so landlords and property managers often call for animal hoarding cleanup before the next tenant moves in. Summer highs in Uptown are milder, around 83 degrees in July, but a shut-up house with animal waste still builds ammonia and attracts flies and fleas.

- Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family

Animal Hoarder Cleanup Questions Answered for Uptown, Milwaukee, WI
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.
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.
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.
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.
Is it safe to enter a home after animal hoarding?
Not without protection. Ammonia, dust and germs can affect the eyes, lungs and skin. Crews wear protective suits, gloves, boots and respiratory protection, and they set up air control to protect clean areas.
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.
