Whether you call from Alcy-Ball or elsewhere in Shelby County, you can ask Alcy-Ball Biohazard Cleanup Help about animal hoarder cleanup that is careful with the home, careful with the people involved and clear about what will be done.
Alcy-Ball sees about 55 inches of rain a year, and damp air and leaks make urine-soaked flooring and walls more prone to mold and odor. About 13% of homes in Memphis are vacant, and a property that sat empty after animals were removed can hold waste and odor for a long time.
What animal hoarding cleanup covers:
- Taking out carpet, padding, drywall and flooring soaked with urine or waste
- Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time
- A final inspection of each room and a plan for repairs, pest control and upkeep
- Removal of animal urine, feces, bedding and soiled debris from floors, rooms and crates
- Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms

The team walks the property to see which rooms are affected, how much waste there is and which materials are soaked. This sets the plan and the price range.

Animal Hoarder Cleanup Questions Answered for Alcy-Ball, Memphis, TN
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.
What is animal hoarding?
Animal hoarding means keeping more animals than a person can care for well, often without seeing that the animals are suffering. Hoarding is a recognized mental health condition, and it is not a character flaw. It needs both animal and human support.
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.
Does insurance cover animal hoarding cleanup?
Usually not. Policies often exclude cleaning caused by long-term conditions, though some cover sudden events such as a burst pipe. Read the policy or ask the agent, take photos and keep every receipt.
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 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.
