Assessment – Each hoarding cleanup requires its own personalized assessment. The work can sometimes be drawn out over weeks depending on the scope of buildup that need to be removed, and the willingness of the parties involved. Some people need help from a professional organizer to go through a home, item by item, to assess each item’s personal value. Our focus is on reducing the volume of items and debris in a home to return it to a safe, livable space.

Safety & Cleanup – Due to the unknown nature of each hoarding cleanup, our team will utilize personal protective equipment including masks, gloves, and hazmat suits where necessary. The physical act of removal can uncover unexpected hazards that will need to be addressed accordingly. Some of the things we are concerned about during this service: infestations, mold, dead animals, drugs or drug paraphernalia, and anything else that may pose a risk to our health or safety.

Waste Disposal – Everything that is removed is transported and disposed of at the appropriate waste treatment facilities. The removal phase of the work can be mentally and emotionally exhausting for the resident and family. At the point that the volume of accumulated items has been reduced, a further assessment will be provided regarding the cleaning and sanitization needs of the property.
