Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Franklintown, Baltimore, MD

What happens to the items that are removed?

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.

Is hoarding cleanup different from a regular house cleaning?

Yes. A regular cleaning assumes surfaces are reachable and the items stay. Hoarding cleanup includes sorting, hauling, hazard checks, protective gear and disposal, and then a deeper clean of kitchens, bathrooms and floors.

Can a team clean after the resident has moved or passed away?

Yes. A cleanup team can sort, clear and clean a home once the resident has moved, entered care or died. The family can set rules for photos, papers and keepsakes, and the work moves at the family's pace.

At what age does hoarding usually start?

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.

What does a level one hoarder house look like?

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.

Who pays for hoarding cleanup?

Most often the resident or the property owner pays, and family members sometimes share the cost. In a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Some local aging services or housing agencies help in some places, so it is worth asking.
