Working in a large neglected building around Verviers means extreme sanitary conditions. Opening the loft doors, transformed over years into a true pigeon nest strewn with droppings, while cellars suffered stagnant water infiltration.
Here handling bulky items demands drastic sanitary precautions.
The real challenge: major respiratory risks and degraded structures
- Toxicity: dried droppings, mould and histoplasmosis risk demanding professional respirators.
- Damp: boxes and wooden furniture totally stuck, waterlogged, crumbling at the slightest touch.
- Smells: closed environment demanding ventilation and heavy disinfection before any action.
⚠️ Dry-sweeping droppings means poisoning yourself
Without filter masks or prior decontamination, every move spreads toxic spores and dust. Full respiratory protection is non-negotiable.
Our approach on site
- Full respiratory protection: professional filter masks and sealed suits for every team.
- Prior decontamination: treating pigeon droppings and sanitising damp zones to neutralise bacteria.
- Sealed-bag removal: secured packing to avoid any spread in stairwells.
💡 Same protocol as our damp jobs
FFP3, sealed batches, disinfection: see our Mons and central Verviers cases.
The result
The house was fully sanitised, rid of its biological scourges and left clean for future insulation works.
