What is a hoarder house cleanout?

What comes after the cleanout?
Repairs, pest control or a final deep clean, depending on what the crew found. The team passes along notes on damage so the owner can plan. For an occupied home, a plan for upkeep and support helps keep the rooms clear.
Are there companies that clean out hoarder homes?
Yes. Hoarding clean out services and hoarder cleanout companies do this work. Look for a team that sorts for valuables, explains how waste is disposed of and works with the owner or family.
Will insurance pay for a hoarding clean out?
Usually not, because many policies exclude long-term buildup. A policy may help with a specific event such as a fire, a leak or a sewage backup. Read the policy, call the insurer before work begins, take photos and keep receipts.
Can the team work for an executor, landlord or real estate agent?
Yes. Cleanouts are often arranged by executors, landlords, property managers and agents. The team follows their access instructions and can note the condition of the property for their records.
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.
