Questions Families in Downtown, Pittsburgh, PA Ask About Clearing a Hoarder House

Do cleanouts include cleaning, or only hauling?

That depends on the plan. Some jobs end broom-clean, and others include deep cleaning, disinfecting and odor treatment. Ask the team to say exactly what the job covers before work starts.

Can a cleanout team handle a garage, shed or storage unit too?

Yes. Garages, sheds, porches and storage areas are often part of a hoarder house cleanout. Mention every space on the first call so the plan and the haul-away cover them.

Does the resident have to agree to the cleanout?

When the resident is living in the home, yes, and hoarding cleanups hold up best with their agreement. Clearing without it can cause distress and the home often fills again. After a move or a death, the owner or estate decides.

What is a hoarder house cleanout?

A hoarder house cleanout is the full clearing of a home filled with belongings, followed by cleaning. A team sorts items, sets aside valuables and papers, hauls away what is released and cleans the emptied rooms.

Can the team work for an executor, landlord or real estate agent?

Yes. Cleanouts are often arranged by executors, landlords, property managers and agents. The team follows their access instructions and can note the condition of the property for their records.

What comes after the cleanout?

Repairs, pest control or a final deep clean, depending on what the crew found. The team passes along notes on damage so the owner can plan. For an occupied home, a plan for upkeep and support helps keep the rooms clear.
