Repairs, pest control or a final deep clean, depending on what the crew found. The team passes along notes on damage so the owner can plan. For an occupied home, a plan for upkeep and support helps keep the rooms clear.
Cleanout then becomes a shared project. The resident decides what is kept, the pace is set together and nothing is hauled without agreement. Support from a doctor, counselor or local group can help the progress last.
The crew works with added protection and removes affected materials. Pest control and mold remediation are separate trades, and the team can say when they are needed so you can plan.
