Fecal Matter and Urine Removal for Homes, Rentals and Workplaces in Highlands

Human feces cleanup is the removal of fecal matter and everything it contaminated, followed by disinfection. Feces can carry bacteria and viruses, so the work is done with protective equipment and approved products.

If feces or urine has soiled your property in Highlands or elsewhere in Macon County, you can get a cleanup team for feces and urine cleanup. The crew works for homeowners, landlords, caregivers, property managers and businesses. Call Highlands Biohazard Cleanup Help to begin.

Homeowners make up a larger share of Macon County, so the owner usually decides on waste cleanup and deals with the insurer directly. About 47% of homes in Highlands were built before 1980, and older carpet, subfloor and wood trim absorb urine deeply.

What human feces & urine cleanup covers:

  • Mattresses, couches and recliners that absorbed urine and cannot be saved
  • Disinfection of every surface the waste touched, using EPA-registered products
  • Waste found outdoors, in garages, sheds or on porches
  • Bathrooms, hallways and bedrooms with waste on tile, grout and fixtures
  • Clothing, towels and small items that must be bagged or discarded

What Happens During Human Feces Removal in Highlands

1. Make the space safe

Everyone steps away. The crew sets up barriers and puts on gloves, eye protection, masks and protective clothing.

2. Soak-through check

Crews test how far urine and waste travelled into carpet, padding, mattress layers and subfloor, since the surface rarely shows the full picture.

3. Removal and disinfection

Waste is lifted and soaked materials are cut out and bagged. Hard surfaces are cleaned, then disinfected with EPA-registered products.

4. Waste out, space back

Bagged waste leaves with the crew. The room is checked and returned for normal use.

What Highlands Residents Ask About Human Waste Cleanup

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What is the best cleaner for human feces?

No single product is best for every surface. Waste is removed first, then an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label. Porous materials such as carpet and mattresses often have to be removed rather than cleaned.
