Gross Filth / Distressed Properties
Some examples of Gross Filth include:
  • Trash left about the property (inside or out).
  • Multiple pets that have been allowed to defecate inside a residence.
  • Wild animals that have gotten inside and created messes and/or defecated.
  • 'Pack Rat' behavior  (Hoarding) -- uncontrolled collecting of newspapers, clothing,
    etc.
  • Any unhealthy living situation or condition that puts the resident or others at risk or
    makes the property unsafe.


Removing the rubbish from a neglected property is a large and dangerous task,
especially when there are potentially infectious substances and other unknown exposures
buried within the contents of the general filth.  A few examples from a very long list are
hypodermic needles, broken glass, weapons or anything saturated with blood or bodily
fluids.  Bowdecon Biohazard Management staff is properly trained and fully certified to
safely remove and properly dispose of the unwanted items (furniture, garbage, carpet,
sharps, drugs, etc.).

We will then clean, decontaminate and remove any applicable biohazards to make the
property habitable and/or ready for resale.  To the best of our ability, discarded items
will be recycled rather than simply disposed in a landfill.  The staff of Bowdecon truly
cares about our clients and their specific needs.
