Hoarding Disorders
Hoarding is when people feel like they need to save things, so they can’t throw them away. A person with hoarding disorder experiences distress at the thought of getting rid of the items.
Hoarding ranges from mild to severe. It can impact commercial and residential spaces, compromising areas and making them usable.
There are signs to help identify whether you or someone you know struggles with hoarding.
Signs of hoarding include:
- Not using rooms for their intended purpose
- Unsafe and unsanitary living conditions, including accumulation of trash
- Odors and extreme scents
- Indications of structural damage
- Evidence of inappropriate animal control, including animal population exceeding legal regulation
Dangers of Hoarding
As the number of items in your home or commercial space increase, so do the health and safety issues. The amount of clutter and trash overtakes the space making unsafe conditions.
Dangers of hoarding include:
- Increased Fire Risk. A space full of clutter can quickly turn into a fire hazard. Whether it’s stacks of materials inside a garage or an entire house, firefighters have difficulty putting out the fire.
- Limits Escape Routes. Hoarding limits pathways and blocks windows and doors, making it dangerous to experience a fire or medical emergency.
- Tripping Hazards. As clutter accumulates, it becomes more challenging to navigate spaces, increasing your risk of falling.
- Increased Pollutants. Radon, carbon monoxide, pollen, dander, and cigarette smoke are just some indoor air impurities hoarding causes.
- Biohazards. Hoarding often results in decomposing materials and rotting food. These attract rodents, which can spread diseases and cause unsanitary conditions.
- Mold Growth. Clutter can lead to mold and mildew growth.
- Poor Sanitary Conditions. Decomposing items, including food, trash, and human waste, release dangerous byproducts making people sick. These items also breed bacteria and potential diseases. Hoarding can be even more dangerous if it involves animals. Hoarding with animals can lead to the spread of diseases and create a hazardous situation.
Commercial and Residential Extreme Cleaning Services
Hoarding cleanup requires an effective strategy to accomplish. You need to decide which items to keep, what to donate, and what to discard. We work with you on a system to efficiently move throughout the space to accomplish the task.
Our cleaning service helps with:
- Debris Removal. Our specialists go through the space with you and determine what to discard. We also make recommendations on the salvageability of items. We note any mold or other toxins and remove all hazardous material and damaged items. We never discard anything without your permission.
- Locate Lost Valuables. We know items of importance and value could be below the clutter. Our hoarding specialists have compassion and pay special attention to detail.
- Distribute Donations. During the cleaning process, we organize and restore usable items. We donate salvageable items you no longer need to local charities.
- Coordinate Recycling and Shredding. Commercial extreme cleaning may necessitate going through paperwork. We facilitate paperwork shredding as required by government agencies. We also work to recycle appropriate materials.
- Deep Clean. Once we clear all items, we perform a deep cleaning to remove any stain and odors while disinfecting the space.
