Hoarding Cleaning for Dover, NH

RestorationMaster

Hoarding is a difficult situation to understand. A hoarder has a compulsion to keep items in their home, usually in a completely unorganized way. The items often have little to no monetary or sentimental value, like newspapers, plastic bags, or DVDs. As these items pile up, the stacks cut off access to parts of the home and attract dust, rodents, and mold. This is a fire hazard as well as a health hazard. The hoarder needs to understand the consequences of these actions, so going in with trash bags is only a temporary solution that creates resentment and no long-term changes. Hoarding is a condition based in anxiety and has nothing to do with laziness or poor housekeeping skills.

There’s much more to hoarding than just extreme clutter. Hoarders may want to seek help but not know where to look. They may be too embarrassed to have friends and family visit, so they withdraw socially. It may take family or friends to make arrangements for restoration because the hoarder may not realize there’s a problem, or they may be too overwhelmed. The caring experts at RestorationMaster will work with the hoarder and the family to create a comprehensive de-cluttering and cleaning plan.

Our Complete Approach To Hoarding Cleaning

We take a 3-step approach to hoarding cleaning. We realize there’s more to the process than just the actual cleaning, so we work to gain and maintain the trust of the hoarder throughout the restoration. By involving them in every step of the process, the hoarder feels a sense of control.

Step 1: Make a connection. We meet with the hoarder and the family to assess the situation and establish a feeling of trust. We work together to develop an agreement to clean and sanitize the home, and if necessary we can seek help from social services.

Step 2: Create and implement the cleaning plan. We’ll develop a comprehensive plan to address the hoarding and remove the unwanted items to be donated, given away, or discarded. Once the home is de-cluttered, we’ll clean and disinfect it, then reorganize it so the items stay that way.

Step 3: Follow up. We’ll create a simple maintenance plan to help the hoarder keep the home clean and organized. We offer short-term follow-ups to work through any problems that may arise. We make sure the individual will be able to keep up with the home, and is in complete control of the situation.
