Will I be able to live in my home while specialty cleaning takes place?

This depends on the nature of the contamination, its extent, and its location. For some types of contamination, you can simply close the doors to the contaminated area before and during cleaning.

However, in other cases, you will have to vacate your home during cleaning. Either the contaminant or the cleaning techniques used might be toxic and hard to contain.

Additional Recommended FAQs

Can you clean the contents of my home as well as the structure itself?
Why should I choose a restoration company over a specialty cleaning company?

A specialty cleaning company can seem like an attractive option, because they are dedicated to cleaning. However, many specialty cleaning projects require the removal of damaged or contaminated components, including drywall, structural supports, flooring, and more. In these cases, a cleaning company might either stop short rather than cause damage they can’t repair or else leave you with a new problem to deal with.
