Feces and Urine Clean Up in Des Moines, IA

Feces and Urine Clean Up in Des Moines

Feces and urine cleanup is a specialized service that goes far beyond standard janitorial work. In Des Moines, properties can suffer from contamination caused by human or animal waste, whether from a hoarding situation, a pet accident in a rental unit, a sewage backup, or an unoccupied building that has been used as a restroom. The biological hazards in these materials — bacteria such as E. coli, salmonella, and viruses like hepatitis A — can persist in porous surfaces and spread through the air as microscopic particles. Simply scrubbing with household cleaners is not enough; the waste must be physically removed, the affected area contained to prevent cross-contamination, and every surface treated with hospital-grade disinfectants that are effective against pathogens. Our process begins with a thorough assessment of the space, identifying all soiled materials, including those that have soaked into flooring, drywall, or subflooring. We then remove all contaminated items, bag and dispose of them according to Iowa biohazard regulations, and use HEPA vacuuming to capture airborne particulates. After deep cleaning, we apply an enzymatic cleaner that breaks down uric acid crystals — a key step for eliminating odors that standard products cannot remove. Finally, we seal the area if needed, ensuring the property is safe for reoccupancy.

Why does this matter for Des Moines properties? The local climate — with humid summers and cold winters — can accelerate the breakdown of waste, leading to stronger odors and faster microbial growth inside homes and businesses. Older housing stock in neighborhoods like Beaverdale or Brook Run may have porous concrete basements or hardwood floors that trap urine deeply. In commercial spaces near landmarks like 801 Chophouse or 300 Craft & Rooftop, a lingering smell from a restroom overflow or pet accident can drive away customers and damage a business’s reputation. Our service is designed to address these specific challenges, restoring both hygiene and property value. We also handle the emotional weight of these situations — no judgment, just professional, discreet work that leaves your Des Moines property clean and habitable again.
