Hoarding Cleanup.
Hoarding is a serious behavioral condition characterized by the excessive accumulation of items and difficulty discarding them, resulting in cluttered and potentially hazardous living environments. If you or someone you know is affected by hoarding, professional help is available. The cleanup process is both mentally and physically demanding, and you do not have to face it alone. Our skilled technicians are not only equipped to handle the physical aspects of cleanup but are also trained to approach the situation with sensitivity and understanding, recognizing the emotional challenges involved.
Why is Hoarding So Dangerous?
Hoarding situations can harbor several biohazards, including:
1. Mold and Mildew: Cluttered environments can hide water damage and moisture buildup, leading to mold and mildew in unseen areas.
2. Pest Infestations: Accumulated items, such as paper, food and organic materials attract pests like rodents and insects.
3. Human and Animal Waste: Hoarded homes can accumulate human and animal waste. This leads to the creation of dangerous bacteria and viruses that can make us very sick and in some cases can be life threatening.
4. Decaying Food: Spoiled or rotting food can develop bacterial and pathogenic dangers.
5. Dust and Debris: Cluttered spaces accumulate dust and debris, leading to poor air quality.
6. Dead Animals: In severe cases, deceased animals may be found, adding to the biohazard risk.

First, if this is due to a crime or accident, you will need to call 911 and report the situation.

We may be able to come right away, however in some cases where there is an investigation in process, we cannot begin cleanup until the scene has been released.
