How it works

Our Code Violation Cleanup Process

Before we remove anything, we seal off unaffected areas with plastic sheeting and set up negative air machines to prevent cross-contamination. Floors and doorways get protective coverings.

Our crew sorts through belongings, setting aside valuables and important documents. We haul away trash, furniture, and hazardous materials using dumpsters and roll-off containers. Most jobs take one to three days.
