The team can note the condition of rooms before and after. This helps with insurers, buyers and landlords.

3. Empty room by room

Crews move through the house in a set order, loading as they go. Each room is checked before the next begins.

4. Clean the emptied rooms

Once cleared, floors, counters, kitchens and bathrooms are cleaned and disinfected. Odor is treated where it is found.
