This week

This part is a genuine health matter rather than a tidiness one, both for the person living there and for anyone in adjoining units.

Two things override everything on this page. Blocked exits and heavily loaded floors are genuine safety risks rather than tidiness ones, and they should be raised right away. And the biohazard part — waste, spoiled material, pests — is not something family should take on: it needs protection, containment and a licensed disposal route.

Signs to look for

  • Animal or human waste in the property
  • Spoiled food or standing organic material
  • Pest activity through the building
  • A smell affecting neighboring units
  • Conditions that make the property unsafe to occupy

How the work is done

  1. Contain and work in full protective equipment
  2. Remove contaminated material through a licensed disposal route
  3. Decontaminate surfaces and structure rather than only clearing
  4. Verify afterwards, and document it for a landlord or agency where needed

In California specifically

California's Mediterranean on the coast, hot and dry inland climate and its housing stock — stucco ranch and bungalow, tile or composition roofs, slab in the south and raised crawlspace through the Bay Area and the north — decide what is worth doing first. California is also the one state where duct leakage is routinely tested: Title 24 requires a HERS-verified duct test on most furnace or air-conditioner changeouts, so a duct problem here often surfaces as a failed test rather than as a complaint.

Before the technician arrives

Four things worth doing — and the first one is usually the thing people get wrong.

  1. Do not attempt this part yourself, and do not let family do it. It needs protection, containment and a licensed disposal route.
  2. Tell the company what they will find, as far as you know. Nobody will judge it and it decides what equipment arrives.
  3. If there are animals in the property, say so — welfare comes first and it may change who needs to be involved.
  4. Mention anyone in the building with asthma or a compromised immune system.

How it works

Three steps, and you decide at the end of them.

  1. 1

    You call and describe the problem

    Tell us what you have noticed and where — the room, the smell, the noise, how long it has been going on. Give us your ZIP code and we will match you to a licensed company covering your area. There is no form to fill in.

  2. 2

    A local company takes it from there

    They discuss the problem with you directly, arrange a time to inspect, and agree the work and the price with you before anything starts. That conversation is between you and them.

  3. 3

    You decide whether to go ahead

    You are under no obligation. If the quote or the approach is not what you wanted, you are free to say no and call someone else.
