Extreme Property Clean Out & Biohazard Remediation: Geiser Home Buyers Project Case Study
Geiser Home Buyers safely restores severely distressed properties — biohazard clean outs, junk removal, and full prep for rehab and resale.
At Geiser Home Buyers, we don’t just buy houses — we solve problems. This project is a perfect example of how far our team goes to help property owners, investors, and property managers restore homes, no matter the condition.
The Property Assessment
We were called in to assess this property after previous issues made it unlivable. What we found inside was both unsafe and hazardous:
- Illegal and dangerous electrical wiring
- Unsafe gas connections
- Strong odors of animal waste upon entry
- Severe insect infestation
- Inches of accumulated animal feces in several rooms
The contamination was so extensive that entire sections of flooring had to be removed to address the underlying hazards.
The Scope of Work
✅ Over 120 cubic yards of debris removed (10+ tons)
✅ Four 30-yard dumpsters filled — interior debris only
✅ Basement filled nearly 4 feet high with soaked contents
✅ Extreme biohazard conditions from animal waste & mold
Even the basement was overwhelmed with wet, decomposing materials and food waste, including an entire freezer full of spoiled meat which we safely removed and disposed of.
Safety First — Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required
Because of the high level of contamination, our crew worked in:
- Full Tyvek suits with hoods and boot covers
- Puncture-resistant gloves
- Respirator masks (Vicks Vapor Rub highly recommended for comfort!)
- Eye protection
- Onsite first-aid for cuts or punctures to prevent infection
Our Clean Out Process
We approach extreme property clean outs methodically to ensure safety and efficiency:
1️⃣ Systematic Room-By-Room Clean Out
We start at one entry point and work systematically through the house, removing everything not attached to walls, ceilings, or floors.
2️⃣ Safe Debris Movement
Contaminated materials were loaded into heavy-duty garbage bins to minimize exposure and injury.
3️⃣ Broom-Swept Condition
Every cleared room was left broom-clean to prepare for final remediation.
Biohazard Remediation & Deep Cleaning
Once the initial debris removal was complete, we began biohazard remediation:
- Multiple rounds of disinfectant spraying
- Hand-scrubbing with bleach, soap, and water
- Moisture control by repairing broken plumbing lines
- Mold removal in the basement
- Complete floor removal in contaminated areas
Even after initial cleanings, air quality and surface readings were still elevated, requiring repeated deep cleanings before the home could be declared safe and ready for renovation.
Why Homes Like This Happen
Many of these extreme cases involve:
- Vacant properties left unattended
- Uncontrolled pet infestations
- Hoarding situations
- Unresolved maintenance issues that worsen over time
For real estate investors, property managers, and homeowners, these projects can quickly spiral into major remediation efforts that require specialized teams like Geiser Home Buyers.
The End Result
✅ The property was fully cleared, disinfected, and made safe for rehab.
✅ The investor had a clean slate for renovation.
✅ A once-dangerous property was stabilized, safe, and ready for its next chapter.
