Contaminated debris and soaked materials come out first. Floors, walls and fixtures are then scrubbed, rinsed and treated with a hospital-grade disinfectant.
The crew goes through the finished space with the owner or manager. Waste leaves in sealed containers and the property is ready for the next step.
