 We'd come to an agreement on a contract. He actually called me and said, hey Ben, we've got a problem We've had a house fire. So fast forward a couple days The insurance adjuster comes out and she completely refuses to go into the house 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, I'm Ben Smith and spotting Decon in Raleigh, North Carolina It is a bright and beautiful Monday morning. Obviously a little rain overcast We're on the way to a hoard this morning that actually was a second time second chance type callback Was a hoard that the lady We'd come to an agreement on a contract and we're about to proceed in about three days before He actually called me and said hey Ben. We've got a problem. We've had a house fire So fast forward a couple days Insurance adjuster comes out and she completely refuses to go into the house The first thing that they want us to do and this is the first stage of what we're tackling today is She wants us to remove all the trash from the walkways Areas throughout the entire home She refused to enter into the home as an adjuster She said she's been doing it for 30 years and she's never seen something like this. But yeah, so we're looking forward to this one and Supposedly there's 10 cats four have been found. So we'll see what we find with the rest we're gonna do an initial walk-through just so the guys get our eyes on it and Also, just so we can sort of walk through the layout of the house and figure out what's the best plan of attack for stage one Obviously already have dumpsters on site. So we'll start there and walk through It looks like that's where that's where they think it started at was in the master bedroom Don't know exactly from what they say they think it's an electrical fire of some sort But I haven't seen the final report on that well right inside that door you have a reclining chair and Basically the garbage is going pretty much up the whole side of it to the armrest So to get access to this door, we basically have to remove the chair remove the garbage the door swings open Inwards so we'd have to clear a path to get that done Do you like a drink for the hard day? Do you like some kosher pickles? whoa Actually May 3rd, 2022 the mark of stuff so Just when you think you you've made headway You realize there's another two feet left in a horde and a fire Firefires come in and they dumped quite a bit of water on top of to put the fire out Now this is turning to just muck and grind so everything with the water just settled to the bottom So now we're finding just a sludge at the bottom as we shovel stuff out Pretty much. This is a total waste as far as what the adjusters you look at so this is the Everything in the way is pretty much trash as you can see here Animal species which is a big problem on hordes Especially cats. This is one of the many spots that they were probably using the restroom in Again in Raleigh, North Carolina This is the end of day one at the horde slash fire So as you can see we try to make sure we push all the contents into an area Just to make sure that when the contents adjuster comes they can see what actually is a value to the home But if you remember the horde was several feet deep Come all the way through here Obviously going into the liver area Just to have to finish the kitchen But move through Got it completely walk through worthy. Yeah, we can actually get out the front So that's where we're at today. Well, so tomorrow we'll come in we'll start on the living room We'll focus a hundred percent of the living room at the first of the day and then as we get done with that We'll mag right into the hallway try to get that finished and yeah, that should be a good full day Day two we clean through the dining room. Obviously a couple of access rooms. You can actually walk into the living room Thanks for watching guys.
