When spring cleaning reveals more than just dust bunnies, it’s time to call in the professionals. That’s exactly what happened to a Plymouth Meeting family who discovered an unwelcome mouse infestation in their basement a situation that required immediate attention and specialized expertise.
The Challenge
What started as a routine basement inspection quickly became a concerning discovery. Mouse droppings throughout the basement indicated a significant rodent problem that had gone undetected for some time.
The contamination affected two distinct areas: a back room measuring approximately 16 by 22 feet and a front room spanning 22 by 8 feet, both with 7-foot ceilings.
The scope of the contamination meant this wasn’t a simple cleanup job. Mouse droppings can carry serious health risks, including diseases like Hantavirus, making proper remediation essential for the family’s safety and peace of mind.
Our Professional Approach
Understanding the health implications and the need for thorough decontamination, our team developed a comprehensive remediation plan.
The process would require specialized equipment and techniques to ensure complete elimination of contaminants while protecting the family’s health.
Our approach included:
- Complete Content Removal: All items in the affected areas needed to be removed before cleaning could begin, ensuring no contamination was missed
- HEPA Filtration: Advanced air filtration systems to capture microscopic particles during the cleaning process
- Surface Treatment: Thorough treatment and wiping of all exposed surfaces including floors, walls, and ceilings
- Thermal Fogging: A final decontamination step using thermal fogging technology to reach areas that traditional cleaning might miss
The Execution
The remediation required a dedicated team of three specialists working methodically over two days. Each team member brought eight hours of focused expertise daily, ensuring no corner was overlooked and no surface left untreated.
The systematic approach meant starting with the larger back room before moving to the front area, maintaining strict contamination protocols throughout the process.
Every exposed surface received individual attention, from floor-level corners where droppings typically accumulate to ceiling areas that might have been affected by airborne particles.
A Successful Resolution
By early April, the work was complete, and the family’s basement was restored to a safe, clean condition. The thorough decontamination process eliminated all traces of the rodent infestation, giving the homeowners confidence that their basement was once again a healthy space.
The project wrapped up smoothly with the family’s full satisfaction, payment processed promptly, and the job officially closed by mid-May. Most importantly, the family could once again use their basement space without health concerns.
