Estimates only, not a quote. Sources: Dropcurb, Lifecycle Transitions. Price drivers include level of accumulation, home size, whether exits and rooms are blocked, pests or animal waste. Call (877) 812-4220 to talk through the job.
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.
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.
Start with safety, then sort, remove and clean in that order. Exits and fire hazards come first, then spoiled food and unsafe items, then deep cleaning of kitchens and bathrooms. The resident decides what stays, and a cleanup team can handle the heavy parts.
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.
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.
A lightly crowded room with a willing resident can be a do-it-yourself project with gloves, a mask and a helper. Beyond that, hidden hazards, heavy items and the emotional strain make a team the safer choice.
No pressure and no judgment, just a clear conversation about the next step.
