It includes blood cleanup, removal of soaked carpet, padding and drywall, disinfection, handling of debris and residue, and odor removal. Crews also sort personal property and document the work.

No. Many families set up access by phone through a key holder or manager. You can stay away, and the crew will call with questions about belongings.
