Questions Families in Academy Gardens, Philadelphia, PA Ask About Clearing a Hoarder House

How do you clean out a hoarder's house?

Plan, sort, remove and clean, in that order. Gather valuables and papers first, clear exits and hazards, then empty room by room into keep, donate, recycle and discard groups. You can get a cleanout team for the heavy lifting and a deep clean to finish.

What is a hoarder house cleanout?

A hoarder house cleanout is the full clearing of a home filled with belongings, followed by cleaning. A team sorts items, sets aside valuables and papers, hauls away what is released and cleans the emptied rooms.

Can a hoarder house be cleaned out in one day?

A small or lightly packed home sometimes can. A full house with heavy buildup usually cannot be done safely in one day. A larger crew can shorten the job, and the team can say what is realistic.

Is hoarding cleanout work safe for the crew?

It carries real hazards, such as unstable piles, sharp objects, droppings and mold. Crews use protective gear and follow worker safety rules, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, if blood or sharps are found.

How is a hoarder cleanout different from regular junk removal?

Regular junk removal assumes you point at items and they go. A hoarding cleanout includes sorting for valuables, hazard checks, protective gear, disposal of spoiled or contaminated items and cleaning afterward. It takes more care and more time.

What happens to the items that are removed?

Usable goods go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, broken or unsafe items go to disposal, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.
