From old appliances like fridges to heaps of personal belongings, we diligently remove, discard, and organize the space, leaving it clean and ready for its next inhabitant.

Initial Assessment

The first step is thoroughly assessing the hoarder’s property. This involves evaluating the extent of clutter, the type of items accumulated, potential hazards, and the overall condition of the space. The assessment helps the experienced team devise a suitable plan for the cleanup process.

Empathy and Sensitivity

Hoarding disorder is a complex mental health condition, and individuals affected by it often have emotional attachments to their possessions. The team approaches the task with empathy and sensitivity, recognizing the difficulties the hoarder might face in letting go of their belongings.

Planning and Logistics

A well-organized plan is essential to tackle the cluttered space efficiently. The team strategizes the best approach for removing items while minimizing disruption and stress for the hoarder and their family if involved. They also consider safety measures to handle potential hazards, such as unstable piles or expired items.

Trained and Experienced Team

Dealing with hoarded properties requires a specialized team with experience handling such situations. The team members are trained to deal with challenging environments, understand the safety protocols, and follow ethical guidelines.

Sorting and Removal

The team starts by sorting through the clutter, identifying items that are no longer useful or have no sentimental value. They prioritize items that may have safety concerns or could be hazardous. For example, old fridge appliances might be removed first due to potential refrigerant leaks or electrical hazards.

Organizing and Categorizing

As items are removed, they are organized into categories based on their condition and relevance. Valuable items, sentimental belongings, or important documents are set aside for the hoarder’s review, ensuring that nothing with personal significance is discarded without permission.

Responsible Disposal

Proper disposal of discarded items is crucial to ensure environmental compliance. The team follows appropriate waste management procedures and local regulations for the disposal of different types of materials.

Cleaning and Sanitizing

Once the team clears the clutter, they thoroughly clean and sanitize the space. This step helps eliminate odors, potential allergens, and any remaining dirt or debris, making the property safe and habitable.

Final Inspection

After completing the cleanup, the team conducts a final inspection to ensure they have not left behind anything of value and that the property is in good condition.

Compassionate Support

Throughout the process, the team supports the affected individuals, connecting them with appropriate resources or counseling services if needed. They understand that dealing with a hoarded property can be emotionally overwhelming, and they aim to assist in a compassionate manner.
