Hoarding is a complicated disorder that is still becoming better understood and the more we learn about this disorder, the more we can improve the help available to those effected. The main behaviors associated with hoarding stem from more complex anxiety disorders and include the collection of all types of objects along with an inability to throw anything away. These behaviors can lead to dangerous living conditions inside the home. RestorationMaster provides hoarding cleaning services to help clean and restore homes in Carson City, NV affected by hoarding. Our technicians can safely cleanup all hoarded items and disinfect the home to provide a cleaner and healthier environment.
The most common hoarding behavior is the collection of any objects from newspapers, food containers, and trash, to animals and affected individuals are also incapable of parting with anything they have collected. The collected hoard can lead to several dangerous living conditions including blocked off areas of the home, increased fire risks, and unsanitary conditions as the hoard can harbor mold, bacteria, and other gross filth. People that are affected by hoarding rarely reach out for help because they are too embarrassed by the situation to draw attention to themselves. In most cases, a close friend of family member intervenes and contacts a professional to help clean out the home.
