Unique Considerations

Timing: In emergency situations, such as floods or fires, timing is crucial. Immediate cleanout can prevent further damage and mold growth.
Safety Hazards: Be aware of potential hazards such as structural damage, electrical issues, or hazardous materials that may require special handling.
Emotional Impact: Property cleanouts often come after traumatic events. Be sensitive to the emotional state of the property owner and approach the situation with compassion.

Special Equipment

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Includes gloves, masks, and goggles to protect against contaminants and allergens during the cleanout process.
Heavy-Duty Trash Bags and Containers: Necessary for efficient waste disposal and organizing items that need to be discarded or salvaged.

Document Everything: Take photos of the property and contents before starting the cleanout. This can be helpful for insurance claims.
Prioritize Items: Identify and prioritize items that are salvageable versus those that need to be discarded. This can save time and resources.
Coordinate with Professionals: If hazardous materials are involved, or if structural integrity is compromised, consult with professionals before proceeding with the cleanout.
