Lifting the load: Maine Hoarding Cleaning Services

Hoarding is characterized by difficulty throwing stuff away, regardless of its value. As items build up, safety issues can arise.

Hoarding cleanup may involve rotting food, animal or human waste, non-functioning bathrooms, poor navigation throughout the house, animal carcasses, and unsanitary surfaces. Any of these situations can be hazardous to your health, creating an unsafe living environment and dangers during cleaning.

Professional hoarding cleanup services are performed by technicians who are equipped with safety equipment, professional tools, and in-depth knowledge of safe and effective cleaning services.

Technicians can typically clean your home safely while occupants remain inside. They can also eliminate hazards and improve navigation to make your home safe.

Professional services are especially crucial in the following situations:

• Limited access to doorways or fire exits
• Inability to use appliances
• Blocked ventilation or the inability to heat/cool your home
• Non-functioning bathrooms
• Unsanitary conditions involving food or waste
• Inability to safely navigate the home

Professional hoarding cleanup services can help with clutter removal, deep cleaning, odor removal, search and recovery of essential items and valuables, and more.

Types of Hoarding

Each hoarding situation is different, and collecting or failing to get rid of certain items can lead to unexpected hazards. While general hoarding is common, some specific types of hoarding exist.

• Animal hoarding: An individual acquires many animals or pets, usually more than the person can effectively care for.
• Compulsive shopping: A preoccupation with shopping and purchasing unneeded items can lead to excessive clutter and ultimately lead to a dangerous environment.
• Object hoarding: This can mean hoarding specific items or a combination of objects, including paper, books, food, clothing, and even garbage.

Any type of hoarding can lead to an overwhelming situation that compounds an initial problem with additional issues until it feels out of one's control.

Our Process

Most people feel shame and embarrassment related to hoarding and the condition of their homes. These feelings make it challenging to seek the help you need.

Our process is designed to develop a trusting relationship in which you feel confident and secure. To ensure every client is comfortable, we tailor our process to your needs.

We're open to scheduling an initial visit to give you an estimate and discuss the process of cleaning your home. We ensure discretion and can use unmarked vehicles or take any other measures you deem necessary to maintain your privacy.

When we arrive for cleanup, our technicians arrive at your home, introduce themselves, and talk with you about the cleaning process and a plan that will meet your needs.

Occupants can usually stay in the home while we clean, and you'll have the final say in which items are removed.

Over the course of the cleaning, technicians will categorically clear clutter from impacted sections of the home and clean and sanitize cleared areas.

We consider our job complete when your home environment feels safe. However, to ensure you're satisfied and your ongoing needs are met, we stay in touch to see if there are additional services we can help you obtain.
