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.
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.
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.
A small area may take a day, while a full house with heavy buildup often takes several days or longer. Access, volume, hazards and the level of cleaning all change the timeline. The team can estimate after a walk-through.
Questions about cost, access or timing are welcome in the first conversation.
