Many Americans are affected by the serious mental disorder of hoarding. Those individuals affected by hoarding often are embarrassed by it due to the condition of their homes. As such, this can make them reluctant to seek help for their disorder. Usually, what they need to realize the dangers of hoarding is help from a trusted loved one.

Risks Associated with Hoarding
While the sight of a cluttered home is a sign of a hoarding disorder, this is a symptom of how the individual’s strong anxiety manifests as an inability to part with belongings. As the person accumulates more things, their home becomes much more dangerous. These items can block access to exits or even pose as fire or tripping hazards.
Talk with your loved one right away if they are affected by hoarding. You should discuss the hoarding situation with them and emphasize how dangerous the disorder can be. Convince them to get professional cleaning help for their safety. When they agree to receive help, reach out to RestorationMaster for help from our hoarding cleanup services.
Professional Deep Cleaning
To start our services, our technicians will come to the home to conduct an evaluation. We use the findings from the evaluation to come up with an estimate, which we provide for free. Once approved, our technicians proceed by developing a relationship with the affected individual to make sure they are comfortable working with us.
The affected individual is also placed in charge of the cleaning. What this means is we will only get rid of items that they are willing to part with. After ridding of approved items, our technicians will clean the home and eliminate dirt, stains, biohazards, and mold. We will also remove lingering odors and disinfect the residence so it’s restored to a clean and safe living space.
Within our hoarding cleaning services, the following procedures are included:
- Respectful and compassionate work: With proper training and years of experience, our technicians know to treat the affected individual with respect and compassion. We will place the individual in charge to ensure only items they approve of are removed.
- Unnecessary item removal: Our technicians sort items approved for removal by value and then suggest whether to throw them away or recycle them. Anything that is unwanted is put in a large trash bin.
- Decontamination: We will effectively eliminate mold, bacteria, and biohazards and then sanitize the home. This sanitization ensures the home is safe to live in again.
- Odor removal: Our technicians will eliminate odors that have been left behind by biohazards, mold, and cigarette smoke so that the breathing air is clean again.
- Working with insurance: To help make the claims process easier for the affected individual, we will work with their insurance provider.
- Review: We make sure that the home stays in a clean state by scheduling checkup appointments. If it is necessary, our technicians can set up additional cleanings.
