Cleaning Up Human Feces and Urine Across Johnston and Polk County

Human feces and urine cleanup is different from sewage cleanup. It deals with waste left on surfaces and in materials, while sewage backup involves contaminated water from pipes and drains.

Need human waste removal for your home, apartment, vacant property or workplace in Johnston, Polk County? Cleaners wear PPE and use EPA-registered disinfectants. To start, call Johnston Biohazard Cleanup Help.

Most homes in Polk County are occupied, so waste cleanup is usually tied to illness, aging or a household in crisis, not an empty property. Many homes in Johnston are newer, but urine still soaks into carpet padding, drywall seams and grout lines.

A typical human feces & urine cleanup job includes:

  • Mattresses, couches and recliners that absorbed urine and cannot be saved
  • Vehicle seats, floor mats and panels contaminated by human waste
  • Waste found outdoors, in garages, sheds or on porches
  • Disinfection of every surface the waste touched, using EPA-registered products
  • Bathrooms, hallways and bedrooms with waste on tile, grout and fixtures

Human Feces and Urine Questions Answered for Johnston, IA

How do you clean up human feces outside?

Wear gloves, lift the waste with a disposable tool and bag it. Hose down only hard surfaces away from drains, wells and play areas. For large amounts, near a home or on a worksite, a cleanup team can remove and disinfect.

How long is human feces dangerous?

There is no safe rule for how long. Germs in waste can remain on surfaces and in dust after the waste has dried. That is why aged waste is still cleaned and disinfected with protection.

Is there help paying for cleanup for a family member's home?

Relatives or an estate sometimes cover the cost. Free help exists in some places for people with low incomes, and a local social services office may know of it. Ask the cleanup team about payment plans too.

What should I do before the cleaners get there?

Call 911 first if anyone is hurt or ill. Keep people and pets out of the area, open a window if you can, and do not spray or scrub the waste. Take photos for insurance and note what the waste touched.
