In many cases no. Ask the team how access and keys can be set up. A landlord, property manager or representative can often meet the crew. You can ask the team to set aside photos, papers and keepsakes for you.
Crews work quietly and handle the job with discretion. Ask about arrival and parking details when you call. If a landlord needs to notify other tenants, that is the landlord's decision, not the crew's.

It is not recommended. Fluids can carry germs, and soaked carpet or padding holds odor deep below the surface. Cleanup technicians use protective gear and equipment you probably do not have. Leaving it to a team also spares you from the sight.
Usually not. Odor comes from fluids that soaked into carpet, padding, subfloor and walls. Opening windows or using sprays only covers it for a short time. The source has to be removed and the air and structure treated.
