Frequently Asked Questions About Hoarding Cleanup

Does the customer need to be home during cleanup?

While we prefer to work with the customer in the home, there are specific circumstances (usually medical) that would allow us to work without them present as long as we have their permission and input. We do not clean out homes without the customer's consent and understanding of the situation.

Does the customer need to be involved in the cleaning process?

We do not require the customer to physically move items. All that we ask of the customer is to provide guidance regarding what they want to throw out and what they want to keep. However, the customer is free to be more involved in cleanup and decision-making and will have a better experience this way.

Can members of the community such as neighbors and church groups help?

Because hoarding cleanup can be a highly sensitive and emotional situation that the customer may not be comfortable with others witnessing, we find that community members are better suited for post-cleanup support groups after the process is done.

How do you approach and handle a resistant customer?

Our goal is to be highly communicative throughout the hoarding process. It is normal for customers to be pushed beyond their comfort zone, but we are trained to help the customer to get through these challenges as they happen.

Is hoarding cleanup covered by insurance?

Coverage for hoarding cleanup varies depending on the customer’s insurance policy and provider. It’s recommended to contact your insurance company directly to determine if this service is covered.

How do you handle sensitive items or personal belongings?

We understand the emotional attachment to items, even in a hoarding situation. Our team works closely with clients to ensure that sensitive items are handled with care. We offer sorting services to identify valuables and important documents.
