How does professional hoarding cleanup work?

Professional hoarding cleanup usually starts with a private conversation and a walkthrough, then sorting belongings into keep, donate and discard, with the person or family making the decisions. Debris is removed, the home is cleaned and sanitized, and related damage like water, pests or odor is addressed. The pace and decisions should stay with the resident.

Who calls about hoarding cleanup?

Usually someone who cares about the person in the home, or someone responsible for the property. Every situation is different.

  • Family members worried about a parent or sibling
  • People ready to reclaim their own home
  • Landlords and property managers after a move-out
  • Executors clearing an estate
  • Social workers or case managers, with the resident's permission

Want someone to come look at it?

The on-site inspection is free, with no obligation, within our service area. Call any hour, or send a short request and our office will call you back.

Hoarding Cleanup: questions people ask us

Don't see yours? Call 515-216-4293 any hour and ask.

Will the neighbors know?

Tell us your concerns when you call, and we'll talk through them honestly.

Do we have to throw everything out?

No. The usual goal is a safe, livable home, not an empty one. Keep-or-go decisions belong to the resident or family.

What if there's also water damage, mold or pests?

Hidden damage is common in these situations. Pest control is usually a separate licensed provider.
