 We just mobilized for the response of Hurricane Ian down here at Fort Myers, Florida. The neighborhood we're in right now has about two feet of water in about every single house. Anything that the water touches essentially needs to be removed. 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, my name is Andrew Janilak. I'm the owner of Spalling Decon of New Jersey. We just mobilized for the response of Hurricane Ian down here at Fort Myers, Florida. From what we've seen so far, it's pretty messed up down here. It's a little bit more than what we were expecting. The neighborhood we're in right now has about two feet of water in about every single house. So what we're doing, we're just kind of helping the families, making them feel comfortable about the situation. Coming in, providing estimates, quotes, and then gutting the interior of the homes essentially. 2,000 square feet. What you guys are seeing is the garage. We actually had about four feet of water here. This is the water line for here in the garage. So everything in here was completely destroyed. You'll see that we're just ripping up floor, removing all the doors, removing the sheetrock. The water line was about here inside of the house. A little less than two feet, and we're making about a four-foot flood cut around the entire house. Upstairs, fortunately, was unaffected. There was no broken windows. You know, roof wasn't leaking, so we don't even have to go upstairs at all. As you can see, this place is massive, and it's going to take days to dry this place out. If you want to loop back around here, you can see we're starting the demo on the kitchen. We've got to save all of these countertops. I think this four-homeowner just spent around $140k on this kitchen less than a year ago, so we're saving as much as we can and demoing the rest. Once we get this place cleaned up, remove the rest of the walls, flood cuts, flooring. We are going to have a vacuum, fog, spray antimicrobial, and then we're going to prep the equipment for the dryout portion. In the master bedroom, you can see on these sliding glass doors how high the waterline actually came, and you can kind of see it here on the pool fence. So, well above the line of the pool, and again, that's glass-free water, sewage, flood water. It's some pretty nasty stuff. You can smell it already. This is a massive house. Huge undertaking. We've got about 10 guys, 10 to 15 man crew with two project managers on each job site. That whole wing right here was the master. Like I said, it's about 3,000 square feet coming out of this huge living room. You've got another massive living room here, kitchen, and every single room requires just as much as pension, so every little detail needs to be addressed. Bathrooms here. This area goes back to another gym area, another bathroom, and then we've got two massive garages. This project's taking about probably four days of demolition, like I said, with about a 10-man crew each day, and then that is followed by a three-day dryout process. What you guys are actually seeing is pretty much day two, so we're just getting started on this project. It may look like a mess, and that's because it is. We still have two more days of cleaning and demo before we even start the drying process. We'll show you guys kind of a finished project here. It's an entire town, pretty much a county, still without power, so we have to have a power source to power our fans and de-communicators. So here we've got our generator, and then we'll take you inside. We'll quickly show you what's going on. So a very typical 4-foot quad route, demo on the bathroom, same thing. Power is part of what we're doing here. It's just going to be kind of just a quick route. Power, we've got about four-e-ish fans in here, several de-used because of the outside, many of the outside is outrageous. We've also got exterior walls that are sitting above, which give a hell of a lot more power to dry out, which is thicker, retains a lot more moisture, so it takes a lot more equipment to get this dry. So at the end of the day, it's about 5.30 right now. We're just prepping all of the properties for tomorrow, so getting generators in the right spots, making sure we have extension cords, all the shop facts, power washers, everything that we need. And then if you come over here, we're kind of just resetting, doing some accountability for equipment, cleaning the vans, just getting ready for tomorrow. So we're just finishing up here. We're actually backing in the generator right now, we want to see 32. We're going to run power into the house, get back to rock floors, all the walls in here, sand down the floors in here. A little bit different, I think, from what you guys have seen from the original walkthrough is a little chaotic when you guys are coming through right now, or yesterday. But as you can see, we pretty much just cleaned everything up, took all the nails off the 2x4s, swept everything, cleaned everything with floor cleaner, anti-microbial, sanitizing, ripped out all the rest of the bathrooms, and got the rest of the floor to look pretty good. So at this point, we're just getting more equipment. You can see all the D-hues are kind of daisy-changed together right now, or the air movers. We're still going to drop a few more D-humidifiers, but you guys can look around. There are a lot of fans. I think in this house we'll probably have around 80 on the first floor, and 70 on the first floor alone in a lot of D-hues. So this was the kitchen. You can kind of see it is no longer. Everything was cut out. All the countertops, thank God, were saved. The homeowner requested that we try our best to save the countertops and be actually able to save every countertop inside of this entire house. The fridge, fortunately, I think the motor's on top. It's a $20,000 fridge. We're able to save that too. This is the house that we're actually just finishing right now. We just got the relative humidity to the point that we need it to be, and we're going to move that equipment to this property, and we're done for the day. Thanks for watching, guys.
