Staring in the face of a hoarding cleanup project can be beyond daunting. Imagining the amount of time and energy it will take to make the space safe and presentable is enough to send most Chester Springs, PA, homeowners and managers running for the hills. In situations where deep cleaning may be necessary, relying on the hoarding cleanup experts with ServiceMaster Professional Cleaning and Restoration is a great way to save a lot of time and even more grief.
Hoarding cleanup can be broken down into two basic steps: bulk item removal and deep cleaning. Our cleaning professional will often follow some variation of this process to make the cleanup experience organized and manageable.
Bulk Item Removal During Hoarding Cleanup
This is the process that most people picture when planning hoarding cleanup in a home. Bulk item removal involves carefully and systematically removing all of the piles of collected items from the home’s premises. This part of the hoarding cleanup process can take a lot of concentrated effort depending on the severity of the hoarding situation.
For a home that has been in a severe hoarding condition for a long time, breaking down and cleaning out the hoarded collections may reveal additional messes and structural issues that need to be addressed. Once the majority of the items have been removed, hoarding cleanup experts can then move on the second major step—deep cleaning.
Deep Cleaning
After the hoarded items have been removed, the “bones” of the home can finally be addressed. Depending on the type of hoarding habits that preceded the restoration, several types of deep cleaning may be necessary with mold removal, stain removal, pest removal, and surface sanitizing being some of the most common.
Hoarding has the potential to create pockets of dirt and spores that grow and fester over time. Our deep cleaning teams will address any lingering residue or stains left behind by hoarding and even can provide repairs in the event of direct hoarding damage.
