Hoarding Cleanup & Restoration

Hoarding Before and After

Facing a hoarding situation can be overwhelming, but it's important to understand that it's not a matter of poor organization or laziness. Compulsive hoarding is rooted in a complex anxiety disorder that goes beyond mere clutter. People affected by hoarding struggle to let go of possessions, regardless of their actual value, due to deep emotional attachments.

It's crucial to recognize the potential dangers associated with hoarding. Tragic incidents involving fire, compromised air quality, and clutter-related hazards unfortunately claim the lives of numerous hoarders every year. While these cases are extreme, they underscore the serious risks. The accumulation of items and the resulting filth can lead to serious fire, safety, and health issues. In fact, in severe cases, homes may even face condemnation due to the unsafe living conditions.
