Hoarder House Cleaning: Your Questions, Answered for Lake Ronkonkoma, NY

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.

Is hoarding cleanup different from a regular house cleaning?

Yes. A regular cleaning assumes surfaces are reachable and the items stay. Hoarding cleanup includes sorting, hauling, hazard checks, protective gear and disposal, and then a deeper clean of kitchens, bathrooms and floors.

How much does hoarding cleanup cost?

The price depends on the size of the home, the level of buildup, hazards such as pests or mold, disposal, stairs and the pace chosen. The cleanup team sets a price after seeing the home. Be careful with any quote given sight unseen.

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.

Are pests and mold part of hoarding cleanup?

Yes, cleanup covers the mess pests and mold leave behind, such as droppings, spoiled food and damaged materials. Pest control and mold remediation are separate trades, and you can ask the team when they are needed.

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.
