A family recently entrusted Scene Cleaners with the task of cleaning out a property that had been in their family for years. The home, located in McHenry County, required a thorough clean-up due to its condition. After conducting our initial inspection, we re-entered the property to ensure that no valuable items had been overlooked. During this process, we discovered and safely removed important possessions, including insurance documents, cash, and several jewelry boxes, all of which were promptly returned to the family members waiting outside.

Our responsibilities extended beyond a basic clean-up. We were tasked with deep cleaning and disinfecting the entire structure, as well as identifying and resolving a water leak that posed additional complications. The property presented significant biohazards, including extensive droppings from mice and raccoons, spoiled food in the refrigerator, and unsanitary conditions throughout the house.

At Scene Cleaners, we understand that cleaning a family home often involves more than just removing debris. It’s a sensitive process that requires compassion and discretion, especially when dealing with personal belongings and family memories. We take great care to handle each item thoughtfully, recognizing that the spaces we clean often carry emotional significance. Our team operates with the utmost professionalism and respect, ensuring that the family’s privacy is maintained and that all sensitive matters are handled delicately.

After completing our work, we coordinated with the McHenry County Health Department for an official walkthrough of the property. Thanks to our team's attention to detail and commitment to quality, the home successfully passed the health inspection, meeting all necessary standards.

For Scene Cleaners, this was a typical "trash-out" job, one we handle regularly with professionalism and efficiency. Despite the added complexity of the family living two states away, we managed the entire project smoothly. Not only did we meet the deadline imposed by the county, but we also exceeded the customer’s expectations by completing the job ahead of schedule.

At Scene Cleaners, we specialize in assisting out-of-town clients with challenging projects like this one. Our experienced staff and project managers work closely with families, offering constant communication to ease any concerns. Through regular updates and progress images, we ensure our clients feel involved and informed every step of the way, allowing them to trust that their property is in capable hands.
