Hoarding: getting to the bottom of the pile

4/23/2019 (Permalink)

Hoarding cleanup requires thorough cleaning and disinfecting

Approximately 1 in 20 Americans have hoarding tendencies. There are five levels of hoarding, ranging from level one, which looks like a lot of clutter and is generally messy. Level five is the worst, typically having only one path to navigate, appliances and bathrooms aren't usable, and home itself has structural damage.

Some of the risks associated with these homes include water damage, mold growth, structural damage, and of course the increase of potential trips and falls.

Getting to the bottom of a hoarders home is not an easy task. At SERVPRO of Wichita Falls, our technicians are professionally trained in the use of personal protective equipment and cleaning products to ensure their health and safety on these sites.
