What's included
What Our Eviction Hoarding Cleanup Includes
Every eviction cleanup is scoped to the unit, but the core inclusions are the same. Here is what you get in a standard job, and what we quote separately when the unit calls for it.
Biohazard Handling
Animal waste, blood, urine, and sharps are handled under OSHA bloodborne pathogen rules, bagged in biohazard bags, and disposed of under South Carolina DHEC permits. Every load is manifested so your file is complete.
Odor Treatment
We HEPA-vacuum surfaces, treat with hydroxyl generators and thermal foggers, and apply odor neutralizers such as OdorX. Most units lose the ammonia and mildew smell within 24 to 48 hours of treatment.
Deep Clean and Disinfection
After the debris is out, we scrub walls, cabinets, appliances, and floors with EPA-registered disinfectants and products like Benefect and Simple Green. Bathrooms and kitchens get a second pass because that is where contamination concentrates.
Photo Documentation
Before, during, and after photos plus a written disposal log are delivered within 24 hours of completion. Landlords use the packet for deposit deductions, insurance claims, and code violation responses in Dorchester County.
Final Walk and Punch List
You walk the unit with the supervisor and we note any remaining items. We come back within 7 days at no charge for a re-clean before a showing. Repairs like drywall or subfloor replacement are quoted separately.
How it works
How Our Eviction Hoarding Cleanup Process Works
You call (980) 829-0670 and tell us the address, unit size, and what you saw inside. We ask about animals, needles, mold, and whether utilities are still on. In under 15 minutes you get a ballpark range and a scheduled walkthrough window, usually the same day or next morning.
A supervisor walks the unit with you or your property manager, notes blocked exits, structural concerns, and pest activity, then writes a flat-price scope. You approve it before any debris moves. This is also when we flag anything that needs a licensed mold remediation or pest control add-on.
Crews in PPE bag and box contents, sort out anything you want preserved, and haul the rest to a roll-off container staged on site. A typical 2-bedroom unit takes 6 to 10 working hours with a 4-person crew. Heavy units with furniture, appliances, and floor-to-ceiling clutter can run two to three days.
Once the unit is empty we HEPA-vacuum surfaces, scrub with disinfectants such as Benefect, pull contaminated carpet and pad, and treat odor with fogging solutions and hydroxyl generators. If we find mold behind baseboards or under sinks, we handle it under our state-licensed mold remediation scope.
You walk the unit with the supervisor, we note any punch-list items, and we hand over the photo packet and disposal log. Most landlords get the keys back the same day the final walk happens. If you need a re-clean before a showing, we come back at no charge within 7 days.

Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use on Eviction Jobs
Roll-off containers and debris boxes
Staged on site for bulk debris. A typical 2-bedroom eviction fills 2 to 4 containers. We coordinate placement with HOA rules in communities like The Ponds and White Gables.
Industrial HEPA vacuums
Capture fine dust, mold spores, and animal dander during tear-out. Run continuously while crews work to keep the air in the unit and adjacent hallways clean.
Hydroxyl and ozone generators
Treat ammonia, smoke, and mildew odor at the molecular level. Hydroxyl units run safely in occupied buildings; ozone is used only in vacant units with proper clearance.
Negative air machines and air scrubbers
Maintain negative pressure in the work zone so dust and spores do not migrate into neighboring units. Standard on apartment evictions and any job with confirmed mold.
PPE: Tyvek suits, respirators, nitrile gloves
OSHA-compliant protection for every technician on a biohazard job. Sharps containers and biohazard bags are staged before crews enter the unit.
Moisture meters and thermal foggers
Moisture meters find hidden leaks behind walls and under subfloor. Thermal foggers apply deodorizing solutions into cavities that wiping cannot reach.

What Summerville Landlords Say

“I had a 3-bedroom in Sangaree that was packed to the ceiling after the eviction. Called on a Tuesday, walkthrough Wednesday morning, crew and dumpster Thursday. They pulled carpet, treated the ammonia smell, and handed me a photo packet I used for the deposit claim. Unit was re-leased in three weeks.”

“We manage 40 units in Nexton and Carnes Crossroads. Hoarding Cleanup Summerville is the only crew we call for eviction turnovers now. They stage the dumpster where the HOA allows, protect the hallways, and their paperwork is clean enough to send straight to our attorney. Flat pricing means no arguments at month end.”

“I inherited a listing near Historic Downtown that no one would show. The hoard was extreme and there was mold behind the kitchen wall. Their team cleared it, handled the mold under their license, and had the house photo-ready in nine days. Closed above asking two months later.”

The landlord or property owner pays upfront in almost every case. You can often recover part of the cost from the tenant's security deposit and, if the lease allows, through a civil judgment. Our photo packet and disposal log are built to support those claims. Some landlord insurance policies also cover biohazard cleanup, so check your policy before you write it off.
Yes. We run 24/7 dispatch and can usually have a crew and dumpster on site within 24 hours of your call, and same-day for smaller units booked before noon. Call (980) 829-0670 with the address and unit size. If the lockout just happened, tell us and we will prioritize the job.
In South Carolina, once the eviction is executed you can enter and clear the unit, but you cannot dispose of personal property without following the notice rules in your lease and state law. Document everything with photos, inventory any valuables, and use a licensed cleanup company for biohazard and mold. We handle the documentation side so your file holds up if the former tenant disputes the charges.
