Main Line stone, Norristown twins and everything in between
Montgomery County holds almost every kind of house we clean. Along the Main Line in Lower Merion, Bryn Mawr and Ardmore you'll find large stone homes with plaster walls, hardwood floors and finished attics. Norristown, Pottstown and Conshohocken are older boroughs full of brick twins and rowhomes built for mill and factory workers, where a party wall separates two families. Abington, Cheltenham and Willow Grove filled in after the war with brick colonials and split-levels.
Each one changes our plan. Plaster absorbs less than drywall, but its cracks and the lath behind them can still hold contamination, so we probe before deciding what stays. In a twin, we think about the family next door: containment goes up at the shared wall, and air scrubbers run so odor doesn't drift through the attic. In newer townhome developments around Montgomeryville, Blue Bell and Collegeville, engineered flooring and carpet over plywood usually have to be cut out and replaced.
Cleanup calls we answer most in Montgomery County
How our crews reach Montgomery County towns and offices
Most calls start on the Schuylkill Expressway. From Society Hill our crews take I-76 toward Conshohocken and King of Prussia, then pick up the Blue Route, Route 202 or US-422 depending on where you are. Lansdale, North Wales and Hatfield sit along Route 309 and the Northeast Extension of the Turnpike. Upper Montgomery towns such as Pennsburg and Red Hill are close enough to the Lehigh Valley that a crew from our Allentown head office may arrive first.
Business calls are common here too. King of Prussia's office parks, hotels and the mall area, plus the corporate campuses along Route 202, bring requests for blood and bodily fluid cleanup after an injury at work. Pottstown and Norristown see more apartment and rental turnover work. We schedule commercial jobs around shifts where we can, isolate the work zone, and leave you with records showing what was removed and how it was disposed of.
What to expect after a suicide at home in Montgomery County
Local police respond first, and the Montgomery County Coroner's Office investigates sudden deaths, including suicides, and arranges transport of the person who died. When the coroner's work is done, the home is released back to the family. No public agency cleans it. Many families tell us the hardest part is not knowing who to call or whether to go back inside, so our advice is simple: you don't have to see the room before we do.
We'll ask a few gentle questions by phone, then come out to assess. Our technicians work in white Tyvek suits, respirators and nitrile gloves behind closed doors, remove what can't be cleaned, and disinfect what can. We take photos for your homeowner's insurer and can help with paperwork for Pennsylvania's Victims Compensation Assistance Program when a crime was involved. When we leave, the room is clean, aired out and ready for whatever you decide comes next.
