Hoarding can start when individuals start to find it hard to part with possessions. This is why cleaning up and remediating a hoarder’s property can be a hazardous job. At Puroclean, we offer hoarding cleanup in Edison, to help manage the problem for you.
Hoarding presents a high level of danger and risk to property and more importantly life.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), up to 5 percent of the world’s population display traits of clinically diagnosable hoarding. Below is The National Study Group on Compulsive Disorganization guideline for understanding the level of hoarding.
Hoarding Level 1: The following conditions are considered safe and sanitary: All doors and stairways accessible, light clutter, no smells, and no more than three locations with animal waste.
Hoarding Level 2: At least one blocked exit, clear signs of malfunctioning heating, cooling, or ventilation system for at least half a year, clutter is ensconced in 2 or more rooms, slight smells, signs of mildew in kitchens and bathrooms, garbage bins spilling over, visible pet waste on the floors, and unclean food prep surfaces.
Hoarding Level 3: Clutter becomes a problem inside and outside of the house at hoarding level 3. There are some major problems such as structural damage, strong smells, and rooms becoming entirely impossible to use.
Hoarding Level 4: During hoarding level 4, social problems become markedly more apparent. There will be extreme problems like sewer backup, kitchens and bathrooms becoming nearly impossible to use, animal waste all over the floor, and much more. Everywhere you look mold and mildew are easily visible, and it is nearly impossible to live in multiple rooms.
Hoarding Level 5: Hoarding Level 5 is the most extreme level of hoarding. Structural damage around the property is quite extreme and the foul odors are substantial and inescapable. The property is in a state that needs extensive restoration to be liveable again. The basic necessities like water and electricity are not operational. Extreme clutter and garbage makes it nearly impossible to access certain areas and rooms. Pests are very noticeable throughout.

Hoarding cleanup in Edison is another division of PuroClean’s biohazard remediation services. We know how to restore homes and make them as great as before, even after hoarding problems.
Forensic cleaning is defined as the removal of biological contaminants to prepare surfaces for professional disinfecting. There are two phases to the forensic cleaning process.
First, all surfaces are dry cleaned with disposable microfiber pads to prepare them for wet cleaning.
Next, wet cleaning process involves the application of an EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant/cleaner dispensed through a foaming unit.
Initial inspection – Every hoarding situation is different. All hoarding cleanups begin with a first inspection and estimation to focus on Health and Safety and establish it as top priority. We will arrange a complete scope of cleaning, remediation, repair, and cleanup according to the project’s requirements.
Safety – It’s important to be concerned about protection when conducting hoarding cleanup in Edison. Part of our responsibility will be to implement emergency solutions to possible developing situations, such as having fire extinguishers, flashlights, insect repellants or control solutions, and first aid kits readily available. We will also use the proper personal protective equipment for our techs.
Expert cleaning supplies – There are many unique cleaning supplies and equipment used during the entire procedure. Our response vehicles are supplied with all necessary materials, equipment, cleaning supplies, PPE, and other tools necessary to complete the tasks at hand daily.
Staging a dumpster – As dumpsters are essential when dealing with hoarding cleanup in Edison, we will consult with the person(s) responsible for the property in locating an open area for a dumpster to be placed as safely as possible to minimize any potential damage from placement and removal. Dumpsters allow our technicians to put all contents that require discarding into a place to be removed from the property in a timely manner.
Decluttering – It takes time to complete the decluttering process for each and every area of the property. Gradually, the progress becomes noticeable and inspires the individuals to keep going. Once the communication with all parties is in place and clear, removing all the clutter from each area becomes an easy procedure.
Sorting the contents – Local laws and regulations should be followed when managing items that require special handling. All debris and garbage are bagged up and disposed of following guidance from local laws. Salvageable items are split into two separate piles: keep and donate.
