It depends on the cause. Many homeowners policies cover sudden events, such as a toilet overflow, while some exclude long-term damage or neglect. Renters policies often cover the renter's belongings but not the building. Call the insurer before cleanup starts.
It depends on the amount of waste, the surfaces involved and how many rooms are affected. A small mess on tile is a short job. Waste that reached carpet, padding or subfloor takes longer because materials must be removed.
Urine soaks into padding, subfloor and mattress layers, and bacteria keep releasing odor from there. Surface cleaning does not reach it. Removing the soaked materials is usually what ends the smell.
Relatives or an estate sometimes cover the cost. Free help exists in some places for people with low incomes, and a local social services office may know of it. Ask the cleanup team about payment plans too.
Strong fumes can cause headaches, nausea and irritation, especially in a closed room. Long-term exposure in a heavily contaminated home is a health concern. Leave the room, ventilate it and have a cleanup team remove the source.
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt or ill. Keep people and pets out of the area, open a window if you can, and do not spray or scrub the waste. Take photos for insurance and note what the waste touched.
One call starts the removal, disinfection and disposal.
