In many cases no. Owners, family members and property managers can set up access with the crew, and the team can work while you are away. Say so when you call if staying elsewhere is easier.
Soaked carpet, padding and mattresses are usually removed and sealed for disposal. Germs and odors sink deep, and disinfectant cannot reach them all. Hard surfaces can usually be cleaned and kept.
Specialized biohazard cleaners do the work, not police, firefighters or ordinary cleaning services. After law enforcement releases a scene, the owner, family or property manager hires a cleanup company. The crew takes care of removal, disinfection and waste.
Usually not. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep details private. Tell the team at the start if discretion matters, and it will plan the work around that.
