About 25% of homes in Breckinridge County are vacant, and a property that sat empty after animals were removed can hold waste and odor for a long time. Irvington sees about 52 inches of rain a year, and damp air and leaks make urine-soaked flooring and walls more prone to mold and odor.

- Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family
- Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms
- Cleanup of fleas, flies, droppings and other pest debris left behind
- Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home

Common Questions About Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Irvington, KY
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.
What is involved in cleaning a home after animal hoarding?
Crews bag waste and soiled bedding, remove soaked flooring and drywall, scrub and disinfect, and treat odor at the source. They wear protective suits and respiratory protection. A final inspection confirms that each room is ready for repairs.
What if pests such as fleas or rodents are in the home?
The crew works with added protection and removes the waste and debris pests feed on. Pest control is a separate trade, and the team can say when to schedule it, usually before or soon after cleaning.

Will repairs be needed after cleanup?
Sometimes. Flooring, drywall, baseboards and paint may need replacing once soaked and chewed materials are removed. The team notes what it finds so a builder can plan the repairs.
