Our Hoarder Cleanout Process

We approach each hoarding situation with care and sensitivity. Our process begins with a confidential consultation to understand your specific needs and concerns. We work collaboratively with clients, family members, and if appropriate, mental health professionals to develop a customized cleanout plan that respects boundaries and personal choices. Our trained team then implements the cleanout in phases, carefully sorting through possessions to identify items to keep, donate, or discard according to the client's wishes. We provide complete cleaning services as items are removed, addressing any sanitation issues with appropriate equipment and techniques. Throughout the process, we maintain open communication and adjust our approach as needed to ensure the experience is as stress-free as possible. Once the cleanout is complete, we can help arrange for ongoing maintenance services if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hoarder Cleanouts

How much does a hoarder cleanout cost?

Hoarder cleanout costs can vary significantly based on several factors, including the severity of the hoarding situation, size of the property, types of materials involved, presence of hazardous materials, and level of cleaning required. For example, a single-room cleanout with moderate hoarding might be at the lower end of the pricing scale, while a whole-house severe hoarding situation requiring biohazard remediation would cost substantially more. We provide detailed, no-obligation estimates after a confidential assessment of the specific situation. Payment plans and assistance options may be available for qualifying situations.

How long does a hoarder cleanout take?

The timeline for hoarder cleanouts varies widely depending on the scope of the project. An house with moderate hoarding might be completed in 1-2 days, while a whole house with severe hoarding conditions could require 2-3 days. Factors that influence the timeline include the volume of items, the decision-making process for sorting possessions, any structural or sanitation issues that need addressing, and the emotional readiness of the client. We work at a pace that balances efficiency with the emotional wellbeing of the client, and can adjust our approach as needed throughout the process. For especially large projects, we can work in phases to make the process more manageable.

How do you handle the emotional aspects of hoarding cleanouts?

We understand that hoarding is often connected to trauma, grief, anxiety, or other emotional health challenges. Our approach prioritizes the emotional wellbeing of our clients throughout the cleanout process. We work at a pace that feels comfortable for the client, take breaks when needed, and never force decisions about possessions. Our team is trained to be patient, non-judgmental, and supportive throughout the process. We can work in collaboration with mental health professionals when appropriate, and we're happy to accommodate therapy sessions before, during, or after our cleanout work. For family members arranging cleanouts, we provide guidance on how to support their loved ones through this challenging transition.
