LocationSan Antonio, TX
Property TypeCommercial Property
TechniciansNoah Lawless, Johnny Mayberry, Landon Antee, Chase Grubbs
Equipment Used
Commercial air scrubbers, HEPA vacuums, antimicrobial cleaning agents, containment and work area protection materials, PPE, ceiling tile replacement materials, and commercial restoration equipment.
Mitigation Focus
Work area protection, contamination removal, ceiling tile replacement, HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial cleaning, air filtration, and final project stabilization.
Outcome
Bio-cleanup completed, affected ceiling tiles removed and replaced, ceiling grid cleaned and treated, air scrubbers stabilized throughout the project, and the commercial property prepared for continued use.
Problem
A commercial property in San Antonio, TX required professional bio-cleanup after a rat infestation affected the building. The impacted areas needed to be protected, cleaned, disinfected, and stabilized before the space could return to normal use.
When Frontier arrived, the concern extended beyond the visible signs of infestation. Rodent activity can leave behind droppings, urine, nesting materials, odor, and biological contaminants that may affect ceiling materials, exposed surfaces, furniture, and indoor air conditions.
The property owner needed a trained restoration team that could protect the work area, remove affected materials, clean the ceiling system, apply antimicrobial treatment, and maintain air filtration throughout the project.
Solution
Frontier responded to the commercial property and performed a structured bio-cleanup service designed to address contamination concerns and stabilize the affected areas.
The team protected the work area and furniture before removing and replacing all affected ceiling tiles. Once the ceiling system was exposed, Frontier HEPA vacuumed and wiped the entire ceiling grid using a professional antimicrobial agent.
Commercial air scrubbers were stabilized and operated for the duration of the project to help filter airborne particles while cleanup and restoration work was completed.
Frontier began by inspecting the affected commercial property to understand the scope of the rat infestation cleanup and identify impacted ceiling areas, surrounding furniture, and work zones that needed protection.
Frontier documented the affected areas and reviewed the ceiling system before cleanup began. This helped the team establish the project scope, confirm which materials needed removal, and support a clear remediation plan for the commercial property.
Although this was not a water extraction project, Frontier removed affected ceiling materials as part of the bio-cleanup process. All impacted ceiling tiles were removed so the ceiling grid and surrounding areas could be properly cleaned and treated.
Frontier protected the work area and nearby furniture before active cleanup began. This helped reduce cross-contamination risk and kept the remediation process focused on the affected commercial space.
Frontier stabilized commercial air scrubbers for the duration of the project. These units helped filter airborne particles while the team performed ceiling tile removal, HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial wiping, and replacement work.
Frontier HEPA vacuumed the entire ceiling grid to remove fine debris and contaminants from exposed surfaces. This step helped prepare the ceiling system for detailed antimicrobial cleaning.
After HEPA vacuuming, Frontier wiped the ceiling grid with a professional antimicrobial agent. This helped treat exposed surfaces affected by the infestation and supported a cleaner, more stable work environment.
Frontier replaced the removed ceiling tiles after the ceiling grid had been cleaned and treated. This helped complete the restoration of the affected ceiling system and prepare the space for continued use.
Once cleanup and replacement work were complete, Frontier reviewed the finished areas and confirmed the project was stabilized. The customer later left a 5-star review recognizing the team’s outstanding work.
