Many Americans are affected by hoarding in one way or another, whether they are hoarders themselves, live with a hoarder, or know someone who hoards. Some may view hoarding as a refusal to throw anything away, but it goes much deeper. Hoarding is classified as a mental disorder with a high level of anxiety that prevents those affected from throwing anything away, resulting in a huge buildup within the home. This buildup of materials can become dangerous by restricting access throughout the home and creating conditions for mold, bacteria, and other harmful substances. ServiceMaster NCR provides hoarder cleaning services to clean and restore the homes of hoarders in Lorton, VA. Our technicians will remove unwanted items and sanitize the home while keeping the affected individual involved in the process.
People affected by hoarding do not have the ability to throw anything away which causes their homes to gradually fill up with items such as newspapers, food containers, broken items and appliances, and general trash. As the condition of the home gets worse, the hoarder often becomes embarrassed by the condition and will not let anyone inside the house. This is why a close friend or family member whom the individual trusts must intervene and help them understand that they need to get help to clean their home. The technicians of ServiceMaster NCR understand how difficult this situation is for the individual and we make sure to treat them with a sense of compassion and respect. We also make the individual an important participant in the process, giving them the final say on the fate of the hoarded objects.
