Most homes in Old Greenwich are owner-occupied, with about 14% rented. Owners and their families usually direct the cleanup and decide what is kept. Old Greenwich 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.

- Clearing of food, bowls, crates, cages and supplies left in the home
- Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching
- Control of ammonia and dust with air movement and respiratory protection for the crew

Animal Hoarder Cleanup Questions Answered for Old Greenwich, CT
What is the ammonia smell in the house?
It comes from animal urine breaking down. Ammonia irritates the eyes, throat and lungs, and it soaks into floors and walls. Opening windows helps only briefly, and the smell returns until the source is removed.
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.
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.
Will personal belongings and papers be saved?
Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside papers, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the owner can name items that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
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.
Do the animals have to be gone before cleanup starts?
Yes. Cleanup does not begin while animals are still in the home. Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group should clear the property first, and the cleanup team can then plan its work.
