A single room is often finished in a day, while a full house can take several days. Size, waste, soaked materials and odor change the timeline. Pest control and repairs come after the cleaning.
Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.
Urine soaks through carpet and padding into the subfloor, where it keeps producing odor. Removing soaked materials takes out the source. Hard surfaces that can be cleaned are scrubbed and disinfected instead.
