Hoarding Cleanup

Understanding the Challenges of Hoarding

Hoarding is more than just clutter—it’s a complex issue that can lead to health risks, safety concerns, and strain on personal relationships. According to the Mayo Clinic, signs of hoarding include:

  • Excessively acquiring items that are not needed or for which there is no space.
  • Persistent difficulty discarding possessions, regardless of their value.
  • Clutter building up to the point where rooms become unusable.
  • Significant distress at the thought of discarding items.
  • Difficulty organizing or managing belongings.

Hoarding can result in dangerous conditions, such as:

  • Health Hazards: Unsanitary conditions, mold, and infestations.
  • Trip and Fall Risks: Cluttered walkways and blocked exits.
  • Fire Hazards: Excessive items that can fuel a fire and block emergency exits.
  • Structural Damage: Hidden damage caused by water leaks, mold, or pests.

The Levels of Hoarding

Hoarding is categorized into five levels of severity:

  1. Level 1: Minimal clutter, all rooms accessible, and no significant odors.
  2. Level 2: Overflowing garbage bins, light odors, and clutter in multiple rooms.
  3. Level 3: Structural issues, strong odors, and rooms becoming unusable.
  4. Level 4: Mold, unusable kitchens and bathrooms, severe odors, and visible structural damage.
  5. Level 5: Nonfunctional utilities, rampant pests, and extreme structural damage.

At PuroClean, we are equipped to handle all levels of hoarding cleanup with professionalism and empathy.

The Hazards of Hoarding Cleanup

Cleaning up a hoarder’s home can be hazardous without professional help. Hidden dangers such as mold, biohazards, structural damage, and infestations can pose significant risks to health and safety. Additionally, the emotional toll of parting with belongings can make the process even more challenging.

PuroClean’s Hoarding Cleanup Process

Our trained professionals follow a compassionate, step-by-step approach to hoarding cleanup:

  1. Initial Inspection and Planning
    We begin with a thorough assessment of the property to identify hazards and create a customized cleanup plan. Safety is our top priority, and we ensure that all necessary precautions are taken during the process.
  2. Decluttering and Sorting
    We work closely with individuals and families to sort through belongings. Items are categorized into “keep,” “donate,” and “dispose of” piles. Our team ensures that all actions are carried out with respect and sensitivity.
  3. Safe Removal of Clutter
    Using dumpsters and specialized equipment, we safely remove excessive items and debris from the property. We follow all local regulations for the disposal of hazardous materials.
  4. Cleaning and Sanitizing
    Once the clutter is cleared, we perform deep cleaning and sanitizing of all affected areas. This includes PuroClean RapidDefense™ Program program, which applies hospital-grade disinfectants to eliminate harmful bacteria and pathogens.
  5. Repairs and Restoration
    If necessary, we address structural damage, water leaks, mold remediation, and other repairs. Our team can also assist with repainting, re-carpeting, and other restorative services to bring the home back to a livable condition.

Testimonials

What Our Customers Say:

What a mess we had. A sump pump failure left us with 3 - 4 inches of standing water in our finished basement. It was a stressful and heartbreaking situation to find the basement flooded and so much of our lives floating. The Columbus Office of PuroClean did an amazing job from the time Nick M. arrived to assess the situation and provide the quote to when Terry and Nick left with the fans and dehumidifier. All staff were very professional and so helpful in removing furniture, flooring, drywall as well as other ruined contents and just being reassuring. They kept us informed at every step and called prior to arriving which was so helpful given we were working remotely. I certainly hope we dont have to use their services again but if in the same situation - we know who to call first. We highly recommend the Columbus PuroClean Team. Be sure to ask for Nick M, Terry and Nick - these guys went above and beyond!
