Feces and Urine Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Cedar Rapids, IA

What happens if human feces gets in an open wound?

Wash the wound with soap and clean water right away and contact a doctor. Bacteria in feces can cause infection. This is general information, not medical advice, so do not wait if the area looks red, swollen or painful.

Does homeowners insurance cover feces and urine cleanup?

It depends on the cause. Many homeowners policies cover sudden events, such as a toilet overflow, while some exclude long-term damage or neglect. Renters policies often cover the renter's belongings but not the building. Call the insurer before cleanup starts.

Why does urine smell keep coming back?

Urine soaks into padding, subfloor and mattress layers, and bacteria keep releasing odor from there. Surface cleaning does not reach it. Removing the soaked materials is usually what ends the smell.

Is there a chemical that dissolves human feces?

Not one that is safe to pour on a floor or carpet. Dissolving waste spreads it deeper into materials. The right method is to lift the waste, remove soaked porous items and disinfect the surface.

Can you get sick from cleaning up human feces?

Yes. Touching feces or contaminated surfaces and then your mouth, nose or eyes can spread germs. Wear gloves and eye protection, wash your hands well afterward and keep children and pets away.

Is urine a biohazard?

Urine is treated with caution, especially when it is mixed with blood or other fluids or has soaked into flooring and mattresses. It can leave bacteria and strong odor behind. A cleanup team removes the soaked materials and disinfects the area.
