Advanced Bio Treatment handles a lot more than just crime, blood, suicides and accidental deaths.

 

We also handle foreclosure cleanups. We don’t usually have these as much as crime scene cleanups but we do have to deal with them quite often. In this particular case a bank called us in Florida in regards to a foreclosed home left in uninhabitable living conditions. Her exact words were that the home was “sickening”.

 

Unfortunately homes are foreclosed on more than you would imagine and banks have to take over the home.

Most of the time the families are pushed out of the home quickly and leave belongings. They are usually frantic about having to leave on such short notice and the fact that they might not have anywhere to go they leave the house is disgusting shape.

This was exactly what was going on from what the bank was explaining to us. The home was inspected once the family had left and the home itself was in horrible, filthy and in unlivable conditions. A home being foreclosed on is a stressful time not just for the family being evicted but for the bank, realtors and property managers. They are the ones who have the responsibility in ensuring the home is in habitable conditions and that the home is sold quickly.

We made sure to arrive to the home the next day and we knew that the home was in bad shape but we had no idea it was going to be as disgusting as it was. Once we walked in the first thing that we noticed was the awful urine smell. The previous owners did not take care of the home at all and we assumed it was because they stopped caring once the foreclosure process began.

Not only did the entire home smell of urine but the carpets were so heavily stained that they needed to be completely removed and disposed of. The home itself was a three bedroom home and all three bedrooms had random pieces of furniture that were either broken or missing pieces. All of the furniture in the home was removed and disposed of as well.

The kitchen was the worst of the entire home. It had feces, urine and dirt stained on the tile floor. It was hard to even distinguish where the tile began and where it ended. It was repulsive and took us hours to sanitize and deodorize the kitchen alone. ABT understands that foreclosed homes are basically a mystery and we don’t know what we might find.
