Fewer homes in Fort Bend County were built before 1980, about 12%, but newer carpet, padding and drywall still hold odor and need removal. Summer temperatures near 92 degrees in Arcola change how fast odor builds, which is why crews ask how long the home was closed up.

The work often covers:

  • Treatment or sealing of subfloor and other porous building materials
  • Packaging and hauling of biohazard waste to lawful disposal
  • Discreet scheduling around the family, other tenants and neighbors
  • Containment so odor and contamination stay out of other rooms
  • Cleaning and disinfection of floors, walls and hard surfaces with EPA-registered products
