Only about 5% of homes in San Leandro are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore. Rainfall in San Leandro averages only about 16 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out.
A typical animal hoarding cleanup job includes:
- 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
- Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home
- Cleanup of fleas, flies, droppings and other pest debris left behind
- Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time

Questions Owners and Landlords in San Leandro, CA Ask About Animal Waste Cleanup
Is animal hoarding cleanup different from pet odor cleaning?
Yes. Pet odor cleaning is meant for a few accidents on a surface. Animal hoarding cleanup deals with widespread waste, soaked materials, ammonia, pests and structural odor, and it needs protective gear and removal work.
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.
What is animal hoarding cleanup?
It is the cleaning of a home after too many animals were kept in it to be cared for well. Crews in protective gear remove waste and soiled materials, scrub, disinfect and treat odor. The animals are handled first by an agency such as animal control or a rescue group.
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.
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.
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.
