That depends on the plan. Some jobs end broom-clean, and others include deep cleaning, disinfecting and odor treatment. Ask the team to say exactly what the job covers before work starts.
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.
Usually the owner. For an estate, the estate pays or the cost comes from the sale of the house. Family members sometimes share it. In a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant.
Cleanout then becomes a shared project. The resident decides what is kept, the pace is set together and nothing is hauled without agreement. Support from a doctor, counselor or local group can help the progress last.
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.
Usually not, because many policies exclude long-term buildup. A policy may help with a specific event such as a fire, a leak or a sewage backup. Read the policy, call the insurer before work begins, take photos and keep receipts.
Call and ask how valuables, papers and keepsakes are kept safe during the haul-away.
