What is hoarding?

Hoarding is the excessive collecting of trash, personal items, food, etc. and without being able to throw anything out. Eventually the hoarder buries himself or herself leaving only small pathways to get by. Hoarders can also hoard animals such as cats and dogs leaving large amounts of dog and cat urine and feces and animal hair.

How long does hoarding clean up take?

Every hoarding situation is different. Although most take a day to clean up , some take as much as a week. Hoarding Cleanup is divided into two ways:

  1. Removing all items from the home and then the option of cleaning all surfaces to have a fresh start.
  2. Paying hourly to have a hoarding specialist sift through the items to organize and find important papers.

What are the dangers of hoarding?

Those who do the hoarding cleaning must be prepared for animal (rats, mice, vermin, etc.) droppings and the animals still alive running through the items and trash. The droppings contain all types of diseases, and unless you have your hepatitis (A, B, and C) shots, tetanus shots, RBI shots, and other array of shots dealing with harmful and deadly diseases, you might be taking a chance when cleaning up after a hoarding.

Please also be careful for sharp objects (knives, broken glass, sharp objects of any kind) that will cut you. Hypodermic needles can also a be concern.

Why hire a bio-hazard clean up company to do hoarding clean up?

Although many cleaning companies might clean up after hoarding , many will walk away when their is an excessive amount of bio hazard issues (animal dung, old and bacteria food, etc ). Please also aware that most likely mold will be present, and, if removed or even touched incorrectly, the mold can spread.
