Working With Landlords and Real Estate Companies

Our team is often called in when a hoarding situation is discovered, often after a person has passed. The family and neighbors didn't realize the magnitude of the problem, or perhaps never knew there was a problem. Trying to go through a hoarders home is overwhelming and dangerous for the family and friends, as they are not trained nor do they have the right resources. We work with real estate agents to help bring a home back into sellable condition by removing all of the accumulated items so that repairs can be done safely.

Many times what a hoarding situation contains is a lot of trash. Unfortunately, what most of us would discard, a hoarder hangs on to, convinced of the importance of it. Clothing is another item that is found in many hoarding situations, and while much of it is unusable, some might be able to be salvaged. Newspapers and magazines are another common item that is left, and these can often be dangerous in tall stacks, but are more often in disarray.

Decomposition of Animals

There are cases where, along with mold and mildew, the hoarder perhaps had a pet, or small animals made their way inside into the hoarding mess. Those animals died, and before death could also have left urine and feces. All of this makes the scene a major biohazard that requires specialized cleaning and sanitizing to ensure that the space is safe for habitation again. Spoiled food can also be in the mix, and it makes for a difficult cleanup without professional assistance.
