If you are a hoarder and you feel embarrassed about the condition of your home, please realize that you are not alone. It is estimated that some three million individuals in the United States live with hoarding problems and need help. You may be surprised at this figure but hoarders generally do all they can to hide their clutter from the world outside their house.
Our dedicated crew realizes that not all possessions in your residence are trash. We know some items will have meaning to you. Thus, it’s important we create a plan with you before getting started on the job. That way, we are always considering your emotions and needs when cleaning out the space.
Our professionally trained experts follow a simple, yet proven 7-step hoarding removal process that looks like this:
1. Assess the situation: We get a layout of the home to create a safe space for working in kitchens, garages, bedrooms, basements, living rooms, attics, and bathrooms.
2. Pre-clean: We banish bacteria and viruses with disinfectant spray.
3. Hazard removal: We take waste and contaminated materials out of the house to keep the environment safe.
4. Bulk removal: We haul out large items like furniture, appliances, and electronics, as well as yard waste and storm debris from lawns.
5. Deodorize: We use spray, scrubbers, and more to get rid of nasty odors.
6. Disinfect: We sanitize and disinfect where needed.
7. Haul away: Unwanted items are properly recycled, donated or disposed of at local centers and landfills.
