Frequently Asked Questions About Squalor Cleaning

What is considered “squalor” or extreme cleaning?

Squalor generally refers to living conditions that are unsanitary or unsafe due to clutter, waste, or neglect. This can include:

  • Accumulated garbage

  • Animal or human waste

  • Mold and rot

  • Severe pest infestations

  • Overwhelming odors

  • Contaminated food or biohazards

You don't have to diagnose the situation yourself—if it feels overwhelming or unsafe, we're here to help.

Will I be judged for the condition of the space?

No. Never. Emdecon was built on compassion and respect. We understand these situations often come from trauma, mental health challenges, illness, or hard times. We are here to help, not to judge.

Can you help if someone is still living in the home?

Yes. We can work around someone living in the space, and we do so with extreme care and sensitivity. We’ll make a plan that respects their space, comfort, and emotional state.

Are you certified to handle biohazards?

Yes. Emdecon is certified in biohazard remediation, which means we can safely clean and dispose of waste, bodily fluids and contaminated items according to health and safety standards.

How do I know if this qualifies as a squalor situation?

If you're not sure, that’s okay. If the space feels unsafe, overwhelming, or beyond what a regular cleaner can handle, it may qualify. 

How much does squalor cleanup cost?

Pricing depends on the size of the area, the level of contamination, and the time required. We’ll give you a clear, honest quote after assessing the situation, and we never start work without your approval.
