Hoarding Cleanup

Hoarding disorder is understood as a mental disorder that may be a symptom of more complex anxiety issues and the habits that form as a result of this disorder can cause dangerous and unsanitary living conditions. As a hoarder collects more items, the hoard will continue to grow and eventually block access to areas of the home as well as potentially harbor mold, bacteria, and other harmful materials that can negatively affect their health. RestorationMaster takes a realistic approach to hoarding and estate cleaning to help clean out hoarders’ homes in San Jose, CA, and the surrounding areas. Our three phase approach to hoarding cleaning helps us earn the trust and respect of the individual before even stepping into the home.

Those that struggle with hoarding disorder rarely reach out for help on their own out of embarrassment and it usually takes a friend or family member to help start the cleaning and recovery process. It is important to help the individual understand that hoarding is a manifestation of anxiety disorders which means that there is no reason to be embarrassed. Hoarders are incapable of disposing of anything and collect unnecessary items such as newspapers, food containers, trash, and sometimes animals which creates clutter and unsanitary living conditions.
