Hoarding Cleanup and Squalor Homes
BioSpecialists is the Expert in New England for Hoarding Cleanup
Compulsive hoarding (or pathological hoarding or disposophobia) is the excessive acquisition of possessions (and failure to use or discard them), even if the items are worthless, hazardous, or unsanitary. - Wikipedia
While it may not be clear whether compulsive hoarding is a condition in itself or a symptom of other related mental health disorders, it is apparent that the problem is more common that most would like to believe. The compulsive hoarding center estimates that as many as three million americans suffer from some form of disposophobia.
Hoarders may be homeless persons occupying abandoned structures. Hoarders may be ill and physically incapable of caring for themselves. Animal hoarding is another aspect of the same illness. Afflicted persons may keep more animals than they are able to care for, as many as 3500 new cases of animal hoarding are reported to the SPCA every year.
There have been many instances where a site becomes so fouled by rotting food, human and animal feces, fungus, sick or dead animals, that public health authorities are forced to take direct action. At the least, hoarding increases the risk for fire, unsanitary and unhealthful conditions that can lead to mold, rat and roach infestation.
Hoarding Cleanup is Labor Intensive
Hoarding cleanup often requires long hours of careful labor, and insurance policies may not pay for it. Indeed many people call for help only after trying to clean the mess themselves, finding the task to be far beyond thier means. In the most severe cases there have been used needles, accumulation of gross filth, vermin, and communicable disease. All these materials must be containerized, sealed and removed. Only then can the walls and floor be santized and disinfected. The only cost savings can be found by hiring the right company with the experience and capabilities to remediate the hoarding situation as quickly and efficiently as possible.
