Causes for Hoarding Cleanup
Pests
In homes impacted by hoarding, piles of debris can include food or biological matter that create a perfect storm for infestations. Small animals, bugs, and all sorts of bacteria can live off of this kind of debris. And worse, pests often bring with them diseases and damage. Beyond the obvious hygiene concerns, certain pests can jeopardize a home’s infrastructure by chewing through wires, insulation, and wood.
Mold and Rot
The same conditions that allow pests to thrive are also prime for the growth and spread of mold. Mold can eat through hoarding-damaged belongings and lead to structural breakdowns and rot. These dangerous byproducts of hoarding damage can also give off spores that can compromise breathing and exacerbate respiratory conditions. One of the most insidious issues of mold damage is that it can go unseen in severe hoarding situations. That means you can be exposed to mold for a long time without realizing it.
Instability and Structural Issues
All of the preceding hoarding side effects can ultimately lead to unsafe structural conditions in a home. Hoarding cleanup and restoration doesn’t just address the surface level issues, it also takes into account the impact that hoarding damage leaves on the entire house from top to bottom.
