The Challenge of Hoarding

Hoarding can lead to serious consequences if left unaddressed, including health risks, fire hazards, and structural damage. Hoarders often isolate themselves, turning away loved ones and struggling with feelings of shame and guilt. At PuroClean of South Merced, we approach each case with empathy, providing cleanup services and support to those affected by hoarding.

Recognizing the Signs of Hoarding

According to the Mayo Clinic, common signs of hoarding include:

• Difficulty discarding items, regardless of value
• Clutter making spaces unusable (e.g., kitchens or bathrooms)
• Health hazards like mold, pests, and excessive trash
• Social isolation or conflict with others over clutter
• Persistent distress or impaired daily functioning

Hoarding often progresses in severity, ranging from light clutter to homes with significant structural damage or unusable living areas.

Hazards of Hoarding

Hoarding creates numerous risks, including:

• Health Hazards: Mold, bacteria, pests, and unsanitary conditions
• Fire Hazards: Blocked exits, flammable materials, and impaired access
• Structural Risks: Hidden water damage, roof leaks, and compromised integrity
• Access Issues: Emergency responders may face difficulties entering or exiting

How PuroClean of South Merced Works

1. Initial inspection – As every hoarding project is different and unique, so also is the requirement to create an intricate and powerful working plan that helps move the project forward fast and efficiently. Every job starts with a first inspection and assessment to establish Health and Safety as the main priority. Next, our professionals will establish a full schedule of remediation, repair, and cleanup according to your specific needs.
2. Safety – It’s imperative to be concerned about protection when conducting cleanup and remediation on a home. 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 kids readily available. PuroClean will also use the proper personal protective equipment for our techs.
3. Giving all the cleaning supplies – Our response vehicles are fully stocked with the necessary PPE, materials, equipment, and cleaning supplies along with all other tools that may be needed to complete the daily tasks of the project. There are many unique supplies used for cleaning as well as specialized equipment used for the entire project.
4. Staging a dumpster – When working on a hoarding cleanup project, dumpsters are a necessity. PuroClean will coordinate with the responsible party and agree upon an open area location for a dumpster to be placed. This location should be in as safe a position as possible to minimize any damage from placement and removal. Our technicians will work in a timely manner, placing all contents into the dumpsters that are to be discarded.
5. 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.
6. Sorting the contents – Local laws and regulations must be checked for dealing with items that have special handling. All trash and debris are bagged up and discarded according to guidance and local laws. Salvageable items are separated into two piles – items to keep and items to donate.
7. Repairing and cleaning the house – When the entire house is clutter-free, remediation and repairs are started if needed. These can include:
   • Restoration services (after fire, water, mold, or biohazard damage),
   • Forensic cleaning with application of disinfectant that includes the house and any salvageable items and contents.
   • Surface prep and repainting,
   • Re-carpeting.
