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.
Usually not for the buildup itself, since many policies exclude long-term conditions. A policy may help with a specific event such as a fire, a leak or a sewage backup. Read the policy, call the insurer before work starts, take photos and keep receipts.
Usable items go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, damaged or unsafe items are disposed of correctly, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.
Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition in its own right. Only a doctor or mental health professional can say what applies to a particular person. A cleanup team does not diagnose, and it treats every resident with respect.
Hoarding is often described in levels, and level one is the lightest. Clutter is present but exits and pathways are open, utilities work and rooms can still be used. Higher levels bring blocked rooms, sanitation problems and safety hazards.
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.
