It depends on the size of the home, the amount of waste, soiled materials, odor, pests and access. The cleanup team gives a price after seeing the home. Be careful with any quote given sight unseen.
What health risks come from living in filth?
Spoiled food, waste, pests and mold can spread germs and trigger breathing trouble. They can also lead to falls and injuries. Anyone who feels unwell should see a doctor, and a cleanup lowers the risks in a clear order.
Can a landlord require squalor cleanup?

What is the difference between squalor and hoarding?
