Safety is a top priority at Aftermath, which is why we require all cleanup crews to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) in homes that may expose them to biohazards including E. coli, MRSA, and Hantavirus.

What is hoarding?
The stigma around hoarding can prevent people from seeking the help they need for the disorder. However, it is important to understand how severe a hoarding disorder can be and how to respond if you know somebody who has one. A person with a hoarding disorder may compulsively acquire items and have trouble getting rid of them. They may also use objects in a way that is different from their intended purpose.
There’s a lot of stigma around hoarding. Despite that, it’s important to understand the severity of a hoarding disorder and how to respond if you know somebody with one. Symptoms of hoarding disorder include an intense emotional reaction to discarding items, a lack of control over acquiring objects, and not using objects for their intended purpose. Cluttered living areas are often a sign of hoarding, which is characterized by excessive amounts of objects and an inability to throw them away. Professional cleaning is required in cases where biohazardous waste is present as a result of the clutter associated with hoarding.

Aftermath Cleanup
"Following an unbelievable tragedy, I was met by a compassionate on site supervisor, who proceeded to assume responsibility for which I was unprepared and unable emotionally to handle. Was notified about every step of process being taken, and all was done in a professional manner. Matt still keeps in touch concerning the repairs and our emotional state. Through this horrible tragedy, I felt comforted by his professional manner and felt that I had also made a friend. I would highly recommend Aftermath."
