Abandoned property clean up must be carried out by certified, highly-trained technicians to stop the spread of diseases. PPE or Personal Protective Equipment like N95 respirators, gloves, goggles, boot slipcovers and coveralls should be used when an abandoned property is being entered.
Along with possible biohazards, other dangers to the atmosphere inside the property, like gas leaks, could result in severe illness or death if an individual becomes overexposed. Therefore, hiring a reputable abandoned property clean up contractor is vital to the health, safety and general welfare of anyone who will reside in the formerly abandoned home.
