Only about 8% of homes in Loudon County are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore. Loudon sees about 55 inches of rain a year, and damp air and leaks make urine-soaked flooring and walls more prone to mold and odor.
The work often covers:
- Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family
- Cleaning of doors, baseboards and walls stained or damaged by chewing and scratching
- Plain-language notes on damage found, useful for landlords, buyers and insurers
- Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture
- A final inspection of each room and a plan for repairs, pest control and upkeep

Questions Owners and Landlords in Loudon, TN Ask About Animal Waste Cleanup
What is the ammonia smell in the house?
It comes from animal urine breaking down. Ammonia irritates the eyes, throat and lungs, and it soaks into floors and walls. Opening windows helps only briefly, and the smell returns until the source is removed.
Will personal belongings and papers be saved?
Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside papers, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the owner can name items that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
What is animal hoarding?
Animal hoarding means keeping more animals than a person can care for well, often without seeing that the animals are suffering. Hoarding is a recognized mental health condition, and it is not a character flaw. It needs both animal and human support.
Who pays for animal hoarding cleanup?
Often the owner, resident or family pays. For a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Animal control or a rescue group takes care of the animals and usually does not pay for cleaning the home. Some communities offer help for older adults or people with disabilities.
How long does animal hoarding cleanup take?
A single room is often finished in a day, while a full house can take several days. Size, waste, soaked materials and odor change the timeline. Pest control and repairs come after the cleaning.
Will repairs be needed after cleanup?
Sometimes. Flooring, drywall, baseboards and paint may need replacing once soaked and chewed materials are removed. The team notes what it finds so a builder can plan the repairs.
