Episode 1: Drowning in Feces and Fish Fillet

Do you ever wonder what happens when the police leave? Biohazard Pro Services Charlotte scene cleaners are private companies that handle the clean up after the police are gone. Where to get a hold of the finest North Carolina fire and water restoration is one of the nation's largest cleanup companies handling the aftermath of homicides, suicides, decompositions, hoarding, and much more. These are our stories. We are located in Tampa, Florida today. We are doing a hoarding cleanup. I did not see the before pictures, so I have no idea what to expect. I am covered up to my waist in fleas after three steps into the door Boots are made for and that's just what they'll do. Just a lot of garbage a lot of obvious garbage. If you look over in the living room, it's a lot of McDonald's. If you go down this way and all through the house you'll actually see an animal fecal matter. There are clothes- clothing piles here and there, but a lot of it is just- this is just the look of overwhelming. Something tragic happens and you know, they can't handle it. The client said that her father had two strokes and her dogs were sick and dying. So that's kind of- that is extremely obvious with somebody who just can't handle it and who can't handle the overstress.

We're going to a bio slash like hoard, I guess. The guy had cats and they messed up the floor in the room. You could see pat pee on the furniture and stuff and in his bathroom, you can see where the cat peed all over. Everything, that smell is strong. Like I smelled it from when I walked up to the apartment door. I can tell, you know, there was some type of pet in there. There were pets in there. That's a hard thing. The hard thing is the chemicals we use because they're so strong. So you have to use your mask all the time and do restoration pro of the houses. So that's the hard thing for these kinds of jobs. Even though there is a cat pee on, just about everything doesn't want to get rid of it. The only thing he wants to get rid of is he has to get rid of the apartment and is telling him the carpet and he has like- a fold-out couch bed that he has to get rid of. We got the full go-ahead to just- WHEW! These respirators are like breathing through straw.I've got the full go-ahead to just wipe everything off the counters. There's nothing we're looking for in the kitchen. So it's gonna be as super easy. We got the full go-ahead to just sweep everything off the floor. We've been working in the kitchen for probably, I don't know. Maybe five minutes? And we've got the flooring done here. Countertops are gonna take another couple minutes. We do have to be careful with what's on the dining room table. There are a couple of things that she's looking for. Other than that, it's moving really steadily. I think we've only been here maybe two full hours.

We're gonna end up coming back here to do another deep clean up the house. Probably in a week or two once things settle down here. But that's pretty much the extent of it. Don't get me wrong, it is dirty and disgusting. But out of the tons of trash, we've gone through, I'd probably say more than half of was sealed up stuff that hadn't even been opened yet. Not the worse. It gets a lot worse. From what I can see, they still plan on keeping him. They still plan on keeping the cat. We are going to need bags for the carpet because of that smell. We are going to need bags for the carpet because it's smelling so bad. We have to cut it into small pieces and put it. Now just going to have a sewage cleanup and to clean up the carpet, getting all the big stuff out of the way so we could get down to the carpet or remove the carpet. The carpet and this couch definitely have to go other than that though everything else looks like it can be wiped down so. Let's get it out of there so we can remove the carpet. We got the carpet up quicker than I thought we would. I thought it was going to stick in more places but came up nice and easy with just a little bit of shoveling under the padding. It smells horrible in here and I can taste it! It's in my mouth!

So basically what we're about to do next is we're about to use a chemical that we use and spray the floor down and scrub the floor really good and if we can't we're going to have to seal it. We use a paint call KilzWe use it to seal it, just seals it into the floor so it stops that smell but we're going to have to have to spray the walls, to wipe the walls down's like cat pee slash and human pee and like this both of them mixed together and it's real pungent. You can see here that we cleaned and kind of organized this room got rid of any obvious garbage if you follow me upstairs so we labeled with duct tape these are clothing that's staying and we'll follow into this room here. This room is pretty much a total gut job. There's no more carpet and all of the furnishings are gone clothing is staying that's just something that she's gonna have to go through and books are staying. It's just family and war memorabilia. More packages that we found for when she remodels and that is actually the next step in the process. Once the deep cleaning is done she's doing a full-fledged remodel and well go on through the living room. All of the garbage is cleared out and all done in sewage cleaning. The couch is gone and we have little tables that have disappeared. Everything that has on the surfaces is just stuff and that she has to go through herself.
 
We'll move back on into the kitchen, the countertops are clear. The sink is clear. There's gonna be a deep cleaning tomorrow, which will take care of the majority on top of the counters, on the stove, in the sink. The flooring, we did a broom sweep clean because there's a deep clean going on tomorrow. We'll work our way back to the bathroom and you'll be shocked and amazed. We actually have a bathroom with running water. The water does run permanently, but it's cool to splash in your face in this freaking Florida heat. Clothing, this was the majority of clothing and personals. The laundry that was in here she wanted to keep everything and she wanted to keep all the personal so obvious garbage was another thing that we got rid of in here and put the clothing in there. She's good to go. The bedroom, you're gonna be shocked and amazed. Again, we have not really a bed this was kind of our catch-all for the things that she wanted to keep underneath the bed, all the way around the flooring, all the way around, and all of that was covered. The best thing I could have done was asked her is there anything personal that you need out of your bedroom, if not I can just do a good swoop and be done and she agreed to it and she's just ready for a new life. The hallway obviously is much better and the flooring is going to be replaced. The house is getting a full gut job. It was a hard job because the house is so hot but it looks good. The biohazard pro charlotte cleaned a hoarding house and everything is good.
