When looking at a hoarder’s home, many people don’t think about the mental issues that the affected individual is facing. They may simply assume that the individual is lazy or neglectful and that the home needs to be cleaned. But the reality is that the hoarder is battling either anxiety or depression and they have developed an emotional attachment to their belongings. This attachment makes it very difficult for the affected individual to throw anything away, leading to the clutter buildup.
As the hoard of items continues to grow within the home, the potential for hazards arises. Slip-and-trip hazards, mold, biohazards, and pest infestations are all common among homes affected by hoarding.
While it is important to clean out the home as soon as possible, it can be difficult to get permission from the affected homeowner; they need to understand that their living situation poses a threat to their safety. After they have agreed to the cleaning service, contact RestorationMaster right away.

Approaching a Hoarder
Hoarders don’t usually reach out for cleaning services themselves because they are either too embarrassed or don’t realize the dangers of their living situation. So, they will need the help of a loved one to talk to them and help them understand why a cleaning service is needed. When doing this, be sure to have patience, be respectful, and do not force them to make a decision. As soon as they have accepted the cleaning service, you can take the next step.
