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.
Yes. The resident decides what stays, what is donated and what is removed. Valuables, documents, photos and medicine are set aside first, and nothing leaves the home without agreement.
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.
There is no single age. Hoarding behaviors can begin early in life and often become more noticeable over time, so many families only seek help later. A doctor can speak to an individual situation.
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.
A single lightly crowded room sometimes can. A whole house with heavy buildup usually takes several days or longer, and short sessions suit many residents. The team can give a realistic estimate after it sees the home.
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.
Ask about sorting, hauling, cleaning and a pace that fits the resident.
