A typical hoarding cleanup job includes:
- Hauling and disposal of trash, spoiled food and items damaged by pests or water
- Odor removal and treatment of affected areas using EPA-registered products
- Safe handling of sharp objects, broken items and household chemicals found under piles
- Donation and recycling runs so usable items go on to be used again

Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Lower Moyamensing, Philadelphia, PA
Will the resident get to keep their belongings?
Yes. The resident decides what stays, what is donated and what is removed. Valuables, documents, photos and medicine are set aside first, and nothing leaves the home without agreement.
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.
Does the resident have to be there during the cleanup?
Not always, but it often helps. When the resident is present, sorting goes more smoothly and decisions are respected. If the resident cannot attend, the family or caller can set clear rules about what is kept.
How do you talk to someone about a hoarding cleanup?
Speak calmly, start with safety and ask what they want to keep. Avoid blame and surprises, and agree on a small first step. Many people feel more at ease once they know who will be in the home and what will happen.
How do you help a hoarder clean?
Offer help without pressure, ask what they want to keep and agree on one small area to start. Do not remove items they have not released. A cleanup team can take over the heavy lifting, disposal and sanitizing while you offer support.
Why is a hoarded home dangerous?
The main risks are fire, falls, pests, mold and trouble getting help. Blocked exits slow escape and slow firefighters and paramedics. A cleanup lowers these risks in order, starting with exits and fire hazards.
