Biohazard Clean-Up
Situation
Moisture Control Services (MCS) was requested to attend a unit which required substantial decontamination. Occupant always attended to family functions and friends ensuring nobody entered her unit. Unfortunately the occupant was a hoarder and over time the premises resulted in a very unhealth state. When the occupant was eventually hospitalised the extent of the living standards was discovered by family members.
MCS made a detailed list of all items of sentimental value to ensure these were retained.
Affected areas and initial remediation

Upon entry a strong odour existed and majority of all the floors were covered with rubbish/ food / items purchased by the occupant which was half a meter deep in numerous places. As you moved towards the combined bathroom / laundry the stench was like sewage. Upon getting to the bathroom doorway the toilet was blocked and filled to the top. Faeces/ body fluids / pads surrounded the floor of the toilet.

Bathroom, hallway, bedroom, lounge, dining and kitchen were all affected.
