Abandoned Property Cleaning in Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, McLean, Woodbridge, Virginia, and Surrounding Areas

Abandoned properties are eye sores for sure, but they also need to be cleaned up. At T.A.C.T. of Northern Virginia, we clean out many of these abandoned properties in Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, McLean, Woodbridge, Virginia, and the surrounding areas. While a home might look like it would be easy to fix up, the truth is that care needs to be taken to ensure that everyone is protected while the cleaning takes place. Abandoned properties can potentially have animals, dead and/or alive, inside, rotting food, items from squatters, as well as water damage, mold, and other things. For these reasons, Part, or all abandoned homes could be labeled as a biohazard. Do not take chances by yourself, call in our experts and have the right process followed for abandoned property cleaning.

Abandoned Homes Can Be Brought Back

When you survey an abandoned property, it can look unsalvageable; to the point where it might be better to knock the house down and start over. However, with proper attention, and if the main structure of the home is still solid, an abandoned home can be brought back to life for a future homeowner. To get there, many steps must be followed that only a Biohazard expert can help tackle.  That is where our team can start the process of addressing any biohazards and removing debris from the home. We start with an assessment of the property to understand what needs to be addressed.

Junk removal, mold remediation, animal disposal, and other tasks must be completed to ensure the home is suitable for living in again. Cleaning out everything will give you the blank slate approach that you need for the rest of the remediation that needs to be done. There are many reasons why a home is abandoned, and knowing the reason may help, but it is not vital to the cleaning of an abandoned home.  Ensuring that any biohazards such as undiscovered deaths, hoardings, mold, insect, and/or animal infestations are removed and properly treated is a crucial first step in the process.
