For those with a family member or loved one suffering from a hoarding disorder it can be difficult to know how to help a hoarder clean up. What is Hoarding? Simply defined, hoarding is the extreme collecting of anything from trash and animals to clothing and toys. It makes no difference what the hoard is made up of, but to be considered true hoarding it has to be large enough that it disrupts the functionality of a home.
How to Help a Hoarder Clean up
A hoarder’s overwhelming mess and clutter can be made even worse by the odor, dust and mold inside the hoarder’s home. Because the hoarder still has an attachment to the things they own, it is extremely important to approach the hoarding situation with care and compassion.

Review by Nicole H., Punxsutawney, PA
"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."
