Hoarding

WE HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO DEAL WITH THESE SENSITIVE SITUATIONS

Hoarding is a complex mental health disorder that makes it difficult for a person to discard or part with possessions, regardless of actual value. A home affected by hoarding can be dangerous, unhealthy, or both—and dramatic action is required to address the problem and help the customer get on the road to recovery. ServiceMaster DSI in Tampa, Fl., has developed a successful hoarding clean-up services program that uses a proven process to help resolve hoarding situations, large or small.

ODOR ELIMINATION

Unpleasant odors are unsettling, and they can negatively impact your health and the value of the affected property. Some offensive particles can remain airborne for hours, days or weeks after the actual event. At ServiceMaster DSI in Tampa, we use air scrubbers and thermal fogging to clean and deodorize the air for safe and healthy breathing. Whatever the source of the problem may be, we have the products, equipment, and training to remove the odor, so the air will be clean and fresh smelling.

Some of the odors we address include the following:

• Junk and accumulated clutter in a hoarding environment involve cleaning the building and removing the filth, debris, and unusable items previously stored inside. This can include fecal matter, trash, bodily fluids, mold, fungi and rotting foodstuffs. In extreme situations, only a trained professional has the equipment and personnel protection required to enter and restore the site safely.
