Plan, sort, remove and clean, in that order. Gather valuables and papers first, clear exits and hazards, then empty room by room into keep, donate, recycle and discard groups. You can get a cleanout team for the heavy lifting and a deep clean to finish.
Usable goods go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, broken or unsafe items go to disposal, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.

The crew works with added protection and removes affected materials. Pest control and mold remediation are separate trades, and the team can say when they are needed so you can plan.
Not always. If access can be arranged, the owner or a family member does not have to stay on site. Clear instructions about what to keep and a way to reach someone help the job go smoothly.
Ask about sorting, hauling, donation runs and cleaning after the rooms are empty.
