 Do you ever wonder what happens when the police leave? Crime scene cleaners are private companies that handle the cleanup after the police are gone. Spalling Decon is one of the nation's largest cleanup companies handling the aftermath of homicides, suicides, decompositions, hoarding, and much more. These are our stories. Hey guys, Steve Wolf here at a house that we actually purchased that was a hoarding house that the homeowner was here to get their loved one out of the house and decided that due to the state of the house they wanted to actually give the house to us so we ended up purchasing it and I say give but we purchased the house and right now we're doing a clean out so that we can do our restoration work so that we can flip the house and make it a new scene. What I would love you to do is come along with us, see the cleaning process so that we can walk you through what we do to bring the house back to life so it's livable again so that we can put a new tenant inside. That's the situation. But one thing about sparring is we get the job done so that's what we're doing. In another situation we're going to get it right. We're going to quarantine the scene and try to clean this place up. As you guys see it's a level five, it's a heck of a mess but we're going to get it done. We are making a little progress. As you guys know this was a real in-depth situation that we have to address and so we're working with. It's a slow progress but it's a progress, we're making progress but we're just tipping away inch by inch until we get to the house until the whole thing gets done. I'm going to mend it until the roll comes out. Let's put it to the side. All the key is, as you can, it comes from the nose. I think these are prescription glasses. I'm going to put this with the stuff. You know at the end of the day this is what it turns into. Yeah. Cool. Try to save it. All you see in this corner now. I don't know. It's trying to figure it out. That's double. This will make you go to the car parking. You put these little electrodes on your back, on your shoulder and you put it to the machine and it sends a little electricity pulses and it sizes the muscle. Today's video is sponsored by Keen. Keen is the world's largest network of psychics. They reached out to me and offered me a free reading. To be honest I was a little skeptical at first but I decided there's no reason not to give it a try. After sitting with one of their readers they were able to answer all of my questions. I asked the reader about my grandmother who passed away unexpectedly. I was so worried about her and I just wanted to know if she was okay. My reader was able to tell me her name and how she passed. It was comforting to know that she's in a better place. Since then I can sleep soundly knowing she is at peace.

As you guys know once we got here you couldn't even open the door because it was so compact with trash and so like a chisel we just chiseled our way through. We got the living room for the most part secured and so we're just moving on back to the remainder of the house and we're just going to knock this out today. And this is just from the entryway. Yeah. And that's not even all of it. Yeah I know. It's sad and unfortunately we found a cat car. A cat die. And I'm pretty sure it was just a slow painful death. Sorry for the cat and those cat lovers but you know we would like for the people to call and we got the cat taken care of but we don't know the circumstances so it's a sad reality. But we want to take the cat and dispose of him. All right and so yeah we can dispose animals like they're regular trash and so that's what we're going to do right now. You get the cat man. Uh huh. I'll pull that whole ****. Holy cow. That's a lot of cat poop. Hey everybody. This townhouse is a two-story, two-bedroom, two and a half bath and it's a hoard obviously. And I have purchased this property so the burden of cleaning it out is on me. I mean a two-bedroom, two and a half bath sounds small but when you have this amount of items it's brutal. It really is. It's just, it's a lot of work. Luckily she doesn't want to save much so the majority of it will be disposed of or whatever can be recycled will recycle. This is a level five because you can't walk in it. It's got bugs everywhere, mold. I mean she just gave up. I don't know how long ago but she gave up. This is the fridge, don't you? Yeah. Look at the eggs. Show them the door. The inside. Oh look at all those eggs. Okay. This is how you do not live. Yeah. This is what you do not want in your house at any time. It's like a antique. I don't know why but it's desirable. So I think there's a little bit we can donate in this place because there's a lot of like cat food and cat litter. So I can donate that to the Humane Society. And then canned food. I can donate to the homeless shelters. So but unfortunately it looks like she just never threw anything away for whatever reason. Sleeper sofas are the devil and they are so heavy. Five. I can't hold up. Take all those five. You're taller than me. You're so good. That's not heavy at all. This ain't shit. That's hard to work. Nice job guys. It's a heavy load too boys. This is a joke. The next size I'll come out. You know, just go ahead and let it go that way. Pull it that way and I'll go that way. Hang on. So as I was cleaning all this stuff up and I'm finding, you know, old monitors and floppy disks and stuff. I was thinking, you guys can comment below and see if you think it's a good idea or not. But what about if we created at our office a museum of hordes where we just collected maybe the rare items or the weird items that we find and kind of keep it in our office in, I don't know, some type of display or something just to kind of show the crazy stuff that we come across. I don't know. What do you guys think? That is Robert Redford in his sexy days. It's crazy. Oh my God. When I was a kid, this is what we used to watch. And then when our parents were kids they used to watch black and white. Yeah, I'm going to cut it so I can access the plumbing and make sure it's not leaking because the whole bottom of the vanity caved in. So this has been a leak that's been going on for a long time and she didn't even notice it because she has so much f***ing here. Quality furniture made in America. There was one, two, four of us cleaning this out and for such a small place it was a lot, a lot of stuff. We filled up a 40-yard dumpster we filled up my 28-yard dumpster and then we filled up two 8-yard dumpsters just in one day today. So there's a lot of stuff, a lot of stuff here. So I haven't even thought about the design yet on this place. I can't even focus right now until we get this done. So I will think about that and over the next few days I will write it out and then start getting some quotes on the rehab. So stay tuned for that. Hey guys, welcome to my newest renovation. This townhouse behind me was an extreme hoard where we actually found the owner's cat deceased inside under a bunch of stuff. So this is a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath that was really just stuck in the 80s. So we're doing a lot of renovation here to kind of modernize it and bring it to what 2022 is and we will put a long-term tenant in here. So let me show you around. One of the biggest things here that really dates the unit is the popcorn ceiling. So as you can see we've already started trashing that down, smoothing it out. We'll put a nice more modern texture on the ceiling so that it's ready to go. Now this fireplace behind me was super outdated like white tiles and stuff like that. So we're gonna put some really cool stone on it and modernize it. And we'll hang a TV up there for the future tenant. This bathroom right here is the half-bath downstairs and it is covered and mold. So there was clearly a leak that was going on for a really long time that the prior owner just wasn't aware of. So we're gonna replace all of that drywall plumbing and then put everything brand new back in. We're gonna take LVP which is Luxury Vinyl Plank and we're gonna take it throughout the entire place including the staircase. So this kitchen really bothered me for more ways than one. But one of the biggest things was the ceiling was hanging really low. It was lower than the rest of the house so I knew that we can elevate it up to make it consistent. We do have one area right here kind of a soft-fit type area that we can encase and just make it look a little more modern. So we're gonna put quartz countertops here, all new cabinets and appliances obviously stainless steel. Paint this a more modern color. The only thing that we're really keeping in this house that is in stellar condition is the AC. The AC surprisingly was pretty new and it's a very expensive brand so we're gonna keep that. That is one cost savings that we'll have here. It's almost done. Yeah almost done. Just this right? Just this and that's it. Wow nice job. Yeah. Very nice. Let's look at this nasty house bathroom. Oh it's gone already. Wow. Look at this. Now I'm standing in the, what I'm calling the master bathroom bedroom. This bathtub was really, really bad beyond any salvaging. So we've got it as you can see and this bathroom will be redone as well but what I've decided to do here is instead of replacing the tub we're actually going to make a stand-up shower. No tub at all. So I've got some really cool tiles some pebble floor that we're going to put in here and some updated lighting to get rid of 1975 over here and you know with the new grab bars and all this stuff and even the light switch panels here are the really old like beige ones that we used to use when I was a kid. All that stuff will be traded out for white, bright white so it'll make everything look awesome. This is bedroom two and if you remember this used to be the home office. It was extremely courted. It took me by myself almost a day to clean this out completely. So this is going to be a really cool bedroom and I'm going to utilize the height of the ceiling to kind of make it feel bigger than what it really is. You've got a closet here and an own private bathroom which is awesome because essentially that means that you have two masters because the bathrooms are attached to both so I'm looking forward to really designing this room. We've got some new porcelain tile. Here, give me the whole door. Wow, I like that. This is nice stuff. Porcelain tile for the bathroom. It's got some... some maintenance in it and stuff so it looks very nice. So these are the floors that I went with. I thought they were going to come out a little more brown but they're kind of a combo between brown and gray but I think they favor the gray a little more. So the reason that I went with these was a couple of reasons. One, it has the waterproof top to it but also if you can see here it has a silence barrier. So if kids are playing around upstairs you're not going to be able to hear it here and also Shaw floors is a really good brand so I typically get my stuff from floor and decor. They're putting in the floors today which is awesome. There is a couple things that some shoddy work that I'm not happy about so I'm going to get them to redo and I'll show you what that is. So it's weird because the painting was already done but yet you have still holes in the drywall so that stuff should have been fixed prior to painting and then we still have the mold here in the bathroom where this leak is so this is a substantial amount of mold. That should have been... also the mirror should have come out. So it seems like some of the work is being done in the wrong order so this has got to go right away but the upstairs looks good. Let's go over to the kitchen. So in the kitchen here I decided to lift up the ceiling. It was that old kind of 70s style so we lifted it up but they did a really crappy job on the taping so I'm going to make them redo that because it just looks terrible. You should not be able to see tape and they've already textured it they've already painted it so that's going to have to be redone completely but the kitchen's been gutted the floors will go in today and then we should be able to start with kitchen cabinets and then counter costs next week. Hey guys! I wanted to go over the final rehab cost with you. The purchase price of this town home was just $125,000 and the rehab was $31,000 my holding costs were only $750. The property was appraised at $240,000 and we got tenants in there in under 72 hours at $1,900 a month. All in all, I'm so happy to turn this place around. I'll be keeping this town home in my rental portfolio. Thanks for watching.
