Cleaning Services for Hoarding

A person with a hoarding disorder will hold on to items for sentimental or emotional reasons. They keep things that cause clutter in the home. For people with a hoarding disorder, the act of decluttering their home seems impossible and can be a very taxing task. Restoration companies help take the cleaning process off your hands so that you can tackle the emotional and psychological effects that may come of it. Here is what you need to know about hoarding cleanup.

Sensitivity When You Need It

More than 3 million Americans are suffering from a hoarding disorder. A restoration company will come to work without any judgment. In order to prevent causing emotional harm, the company will work directly with their client as well as family and/or a psychologist. Having a service to help can make the process go smoothly and prevent you from putting yourself in a difficult situation alone.

Getting Rid of the Clutter

The first thing a restoration company will do is physically remove the goods that need to be removed. No matter why you hire the company, be it for safety, moving or cleaning an estate, they will do it all. This is the hardest step in the process, and it’s understood that just removing the clutter won’t prevent future hoarding. A restoration company can also help to find long-term solutions, including safeguarding your home against damages that can occur from hoarding.

Disinfect and Restore the Home

Hoarders are probably unaware of any damage in their home. Even just a few years of piling goods into a room can promote moisture or pressure to the structure. A restoration company can disinfect the area and survey for mold, stains, offensive odors, and other biohazards. They also have the correct tools to respond to the damage, leaving your home cleaner than they found it. Damage likely hiding in the floors or walls will affect the integrity of your home and can only be seen after hoarding cleanup.
