Hoarding Cleaning Services

Hoarding is a complex and challenging condition that involves the accumulation of items to the extent that it can make a home unsafe and difficult to live in. This situation often requires the compassionate intervention of trained professionals to assess and address potential hazards. In some cases, hoarding can involve the presence of animal waste, human waste, or decomposition, which may pose serious health risks due to pathogens that can cause illness.

At ITS Environmental Services, we approach these situations with empathy and understanding, recognizing the emotional and psychological struggles faced by individuals who hoard.

How Do You Start Cleaning When You Are a Hoarder?

1

Assessment

Conduct a thorough assessment of the hoarder house to determine the extent of the clutter, hazards, and any underlying issues such as mold or pest infestations.

2

Safety Precautions

Prioritize safety by equipping our team with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, masks, goggles, and coveralls, to protect against exposure to contaminants and allergens.

3

Containment

Seal off the affected areas to prevent the spread of contaminants to other parts of the property, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination.

4

Debris Removal

Begin by removing large items of clutter and debris, working systematically to clear pathways and access points throughout the house.

5

Sorting and Organizing

Sort through the clutter to identify items that can be salvaged, donated, or discarded, following the client's preferences and guidelines.

6

Cleaning Surfaces

Thoroughly clean all surfaces, including floors, walls, and countertops, using specialized cleaning agents and disinfectants to remove dirt, dust, and biological contaminants.

7

Odor Neutralization

Address any lingering odors using odor-neutralizing agents and air purifiers to improve indoor air quality and create a more pleasant environment.

Odor Neutralization

Sanitize the entire house using EPA-approved disinfectants to kill bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, ensuring a safe and hygienic living space.

9

Restoration

Repair any damage to the property, such as holes in walls or damaged flooring, and restore the house to its pre-hoarding condition as much as possible.

10

Follow-Up

Conduct a final inspection of the cleaned house to ensure that all clutter and contaminants have been effectively removed, addressing any remaining issues or areas of concern.

11

Ongoing Support

How much does it cost to clean out a hoarder house?

The cost of cleaning out a hoarder house can vary significantly depending on various factors, including the size of the property, the level of clutter and hoarding, the extent of cleaning and restoration required, and any additional services needed, such as odor removal or repairs.

On average, professional hoarder house cleanup services can range from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. However, it's essential to note that each hoarder house cleanup is unique, and the cost will be determined based on the specific needs and circumstances of the property.

Government Help for Hoarders

In the New York, Long Island, and Tri-State area, there may be limited government assistance available for hoarder house cleanup, but it varies depending on the specific locality and circumstances. Local health departments, community agencies and non-profits, social services, housing programs, and even insurance coverage are all possible sources of support.

ITS Environmental Services can provide guidance and assistance in navigating available resources and developing a comprehensive cleanup plan.

Cleaning Ladies

Doug explained the process clearly and made us feel that it was going to be “OK”. He told us which rooms he felt needed immediate attention for the safety of our family member, and to deal with the other later. We asked only have the dumpster dropped off a few days early so we could get started ourselves as well as removing the trash bags already filled.


When the team arrived, they went thru the house to see what was in store for them. Never once did they embarrass us, make us feel uncomfortable or appear the task was beneath them. I actually think some enjoy it. They could see our pain and embarrassment as well as feel our anxiety. They let us know the house was in good hands and they would take good care. We were told just to let them know what to look for, if anything specific, and then hang out. We could not. They allowed us to work beside them because we felt this was our job too. This was our family member, but they were helping with the big stuff.

​

They don’t just come to do a job, they care about their clients. They see that it’s a grieving process, not just stuff. Every day they were there they checked on us as we the job progressed.
If anyone is looking for a caring, honest company to help them with any random project to a full on remediation, this is the team.
