Common Questions About Hoarder Cleanup in Center City East, Philadelphia, PA

What is hoarding cleanup?

Hoarding cleanup is the safe clearing and cleaning of a home that has too many belongings to use as intended. A cleanup team opens exits, sorts items with the resident, hauls away what is released and cleans and disinfects. It is done at the resident's pace.

What should you not say to a hoarder?

Avoid calling their belongings trash, saying the home is disgusting or telling them to just throw things out. Never move items without asking. Ask what matters most to them, listen, and offer to help at their pace.

At what age does hoarding usually start?

There is no single age. Hoarding behaviors can begin early in life and often become more noticeable over time, so many families only seek help later. A doctor can speak to an individual situation.

What mental illness do most hoarders have?

Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition in its own right. Only a doctor or mental health professional can say what applies to a particular person. A cleanup team does not diagnose, and it treats every resident with respect.

Can a hoarder house be cleaned in one day?

A single lightly crowded room sometimes can. A whole house with heavy buildup usually takes several days or longer, and short sessions suit many residents. The team can give a realistic estimate after it sees the home.

Can you hire someone to clean a hoarder house?

Yes. Hoarding cleanup services and hoarder cleaning companies do this work every day. The team brings protective gear, hauling and disinfecting, and works with the resident or the family. Residents, relatives, landlords and property managers can all make the call.
