1. Assessment

The team looks at how much waste is present, how far it spread and which materials it soaked into.

2. Soak-through check

Crews test how far urine and waste travelled into carpet, padding, mattress layers and subfloor, since the surface rarely shows the full picture.

3. Removal and disinfection

Waste is lifted and soaked materials are cut out and bagged. Hard surfaces are cleaned, then disinfected with EPA-registered products.

4. Waste out, space back

Bagged waste leaves with the crew. The room is checked and returned for normal use.
