Cleaning a Home After Animals Are Removed in University Park, Denver, CO
Animal hoarding clean up is a biohazard-style job: ammonia, bacteria, parasites and dust are all present. Crews use protective suits, respiratory protection and EPA-registered disinfectants.
If animal hoarding has damaged your house, apartment or rental in University Park or anywhere in Denver County, you can get cleanup from University Park Biohazard Cleanup Help. The cleanup team works for owners, landlords, relatives and caregivers, once the animals are safely out of the home.
Rainfall in University Park averages only about 15 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out. About 51% of households in Denver rent, so landlords and property managers often call for animal hoarding cleanup before the next tenant moves in.
A typical animal hoarding cleanup job includes:
- 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
- Taking out carpet, padding, drywall and flooring soaked with urine or waste
- Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family
- Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture

Animal Hoarder Cleanup Questions Answered for University Park, Denver, CO
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.
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.
Who pays for animal hoarding cleanup?
Often the owner, resident or family pays. For a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Animal control or a rescue group takes care of the animals and usually does not pay for cleaning the home. Some communities offer help for older adults or people with disabilities.
Can I clean up after animal hoarding myself?
Only if the area is small, the surface is hard and the air is easy to breathe, and then with gloves, a mask and open windows. Widespread waste, soaked floors, strong odor or pests call for a crew.
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.
