Extreme Hoarding Cleanup in Detroit, Lansing, Novi, Sterling Heights, Troy, MI, & Nearby Areas

Support for Level 4 and 5 Hoarding Cases with Safety and Dignity
There’s a point where clutter becomes something more. Maybe you’ve walked into a home and realized you couldn’t see the floor. Maybe the smell hit you before you even opened the door. Maybe you’re not sure where to begin, or if it’s even safe to start. That’s where we come in.
T.A.C.T. Detroit specializes in hoarding cleanup at the most extreme levels. We're talking about homes that have been shut off, buried in items wall to wall, or left with conditions that could seriously affect someone’s health. We know these situations carry weight, both emotionally and physically. We treat every call with compassion and absolute respect.
What is Level 4 or Level 5 Hoarding?
Not every hoarding situation is the same. Some are quiet and hidden. Others are dangerous and visibly overwhelming. Here's how we define the more serious levels:
-
Level 4 Hoarding: Entire rooms are blocked off by items. There may be rotting food, mold, animal waste, strong odors, and limited access to water or electricity. Often, plumbing or appliances no longer work.
-
Level 5 Hoarding: The home may be uninhabitable. Trash, biohazards, structural damage, or the presence of pests is common. These cases can involve long-term neglect, utilities being shut off, or even unnoticed deaths. They require full PPE, specialized gear, and a team trained to handle both the environment and the emotions involved.
Why Extreme Hoarding Cleanup Requires a Professional Team
Trying to clean up a severe hoarding situation alone can be overwhelming. And dangerous. Beyond the emotional strain, there are physical risks you might not see until it’s too late.
We often find:
-
Hidden mold growing under piles of wet items
-
Structural damage from years of accumulated weight
-
Rodents, insects, or other infestations
-
Sharp objects, broken furniture, or glass
-
Human waste, spoiled food, or biohazard exposure
-
Blocked exits, fire hazards, or collapse risks
These homes need more than a deep clean. They need skilled, certified help. And that’s exactly what we offer.
Our Process for Level 4–5 Hoarding Cases
We approach every job with a focus on safety, empathy, and results. No one is rushed. No one is judged. Here's what to expect:
1. On-Site Assessment
We inspect the space with full discretion and take time to listen to your concerns. Photos are never taken without permission.
2. Hazard Identification and Planning
We identify anything dangerous such as biohazards, structural concerns, pests, or sanitation issues. Then we build a plan that works for your situation and your pace.
3. Cleanup and Containment
Using professional-grade equipment, we remove debris, sort items when appropriate, and carefully dispose of contaminated materials. We use PPE, HEPA vacuums, and sanitation treatments throughout.
4. Support and Communication
We keep you informed. Whether we’re working with family, a landlord, or mental health support staff, we’re careful about how we communicate and what steps we take next.
5. Final Cleaning and Walkthrough
We sanitize surfaces, flag any repairs, and walk you through the finished space. If requested, we also offer air purification, mold checks, and follow-up support.
