- Mattresses, couches and recliners that absorbed urine and cannot be saved
- Waste found outdoors, in garages, sheds or on porches
- A final check of the room, with notes for insurers on request
- Soaked carpet, rugs and bedding cut out and bagged as waste
- Odor removal from the affected area once the source is gone

What Highlands Residents Ask About Human Waste Cleanup
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.
Can I remove feces manually?
A small amount on a hard surface can be removed with protection and a disinfectant. Do not do it with an open cut on your hands, and do not sweep or scrub dried waste. For large amounts or deep stains, call a human feces removal team.
Is human feces toxic to breathe?
The odor is unpleasant and can irritate the nose, throat and eyes. Dried waste can release particles when disturbed, so avoid sweeping or scrubbing it. Open a window if you can and call a cleanup team for large amounts.
How long does feces and urine cleanup take?
It depends on the amount of waste, the surfaces involved and how many rooms are affected. A small mess on tile is a short job. Waste that reached carpet, padding or subfloor takes longer because materials must be removed.
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.
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.
