Someone describes the home, the rooms affected and any deadline. No one needs every answer before calling.

2. Agree on a pace

Some people prefer short visits, others long days. The plan is set around the resident, not around the clock.

3. Sort, pack and haul

Items go into keep, donate and remove groups. Spoiled food and unsafe items leave first.

4. Finish and walk through

The home is walked with the resident. The team points out what changed and what still needs attention.

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.

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.

What does a level one hoarder house look like?

Will the resident get to keep their belongings?
