Hoarding

If you know someone who is a hoarder, you understand the anxiety they experience as well as the difficulty they have organizing their possessions. The Anxiety and Depression Association of America defines hoarding as the compulsive purchasing, acquiring, searching, and saving of items of little or no value. These items can include magazines and newspapers, paper and plastic bags, household supplies, food, clothing, and more. Hoarders are simply incapable of organizing and/or discarding their accumulation of possessions and, even though their behavior interferes with normal daily activities, retain everything on the belief that they will one day be useful, valuable, or needed.

Once a hoarder (or family member of a hoarder) has made the decision to clean up their home or property, the cleanup and remediation should be handled by a company with the experience to perform the specialized care and treatment required. GET RESTORATION EXPERTS recognizes that cleaning out a hoarder’s home is not just another cleaning job. We have the compassion and the expertise to take every step necessary to properly and thoroughly eliminate the clutter and return the home to a clean, safe, healthy living environment.

GET RESTORATION EXPERTS is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Our customer service representatives are courteous and caring, and take calls on an emergency basis. And GET RESTORATION EXPERTS is licensed, bonded, and insured to give you added peace of mind when you need it most.

Our team of professionals are highly qualified and credentialed, with certifications from the IICRC—the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification—which is the nationally recognized and acknowledged organization that sets the standards for the cleaning, inspection, and restoration industries.

We understand the clutter in a hoarder’s home can be dangerous and unhealthy, but we treat every hoarding issue with respect, dignity, and compassion. We fully know the decision to clean out a hoarding mess was probably a difficult one for the person involved. But you can trust GET RESTORATION EXPERTS to do more than just haul away junk. We clean and restore order where chaos once ruled.

Our Hoarding Cleanout Services Include:

• Sorting the contents of the home to determine what should be hauled away and what might be salvaged
• Preparation of a fully itemized inventory of the home’s contents
• Assistance in preparing items to be donated to a charity organization or store
• Recovering items of value and sentiment
• Collecting and sorting of important papers and documentation
• Removal and recycling of faulty appliances
• Properly disposing of unwanted items and fast furniture removal

Once the clutter has been removed, our cleaning experts will thoroughly clean every room in the home. We clean every surface, ensuring it is left fully decontaminated, sanitized, and deodorized. If necessary, we will remove items such as furniture or other contents to our facility for cleaning. And, if any structural repairs or renovation work such as painting needs to be done, GET RESTORATION EXPERTS will coordinate with the homeowner to have that work completed as well.

GET RESTORATION EXPERTS understands some circumstances require extra care, and has the training, equipment, and capacity to address any situation. In these cases, we take all necessary precautions: we utilize safety and biohazard gear and equipment.

• We handle even the most difficult of scenarios, those where pet and/or human waste or remains exist.
• We tackle rodent and insect infestations.
• We remove items that have accumulated elsewhere on the property such as in the yard, basement, or garage.
• We perform full mold removal and mildew remediation.
