Discretion is part of the work. Vehicles are unmarked, the crew keeps its voice down and nothing about the job is shared with neighbors. Coverage includes Walla Walla, Walla Walla and the surrounding area of Walla Walla County.
Renters live in about 43% of homes in Walla Walla, so landlords and property managers often need to get cleanup done and sort out who pays with tenants and insurers. Homes in Walla Walla have a median build year of 1967, older than most homes across Washington. Older carpet, wood subfloors and trim take in fluids deeply, so more material may need removal.
Protective equipment is the first thing a crew puts on and the last thing it takes off. Respirators, gloves, face protection and disposable suits keep technicians safe, and OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) is the guide for how it is used.
Real decontamination reaches what the eye cannot see. Fluids travel under flooring and into baseboards, so crews check beneath and behind surfaces, remove affected materials and disinfect the exposed area before odor treatment begins.
