Belongings are sorted with the resident. Valuables and papers are set aside, and released items are bagged and hauled away.

Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Middletown, CT
How do you talk to someone about a hoarding cleanup?
Speak calmly, start with safety and ask what they want to keep. Avoid blame and surprises, and agree on a small first step. Many people feel more at ease once they know who will be in the home and what will happen.
How do you help a hoarder clean?
Offer help without pressure, ask what they want to keep and agree on one small area to start. Do not remove items they have not released. A cleanup team can take over the heavy lifting, disposal and sanitizing while you offer support.
Can a hoarder house be cleaned in one day?
A single lightly crowded room sometimes can. A whole house with heavy buildup usually takes several days or longer, and short sessions suit many residents. The team can give a realistic estimate after it sees the home.
Does the resident have to be there during the cleanup?
Not always, but it often helps. When the resident is present, sorting goes more smoothly and decisions are respected. If the resident cannot attend, the family or caller can set clear rules about what is kept.
What should you not say to a hoarder?
Avoid calling their belongings trash, saying the home is disgusting or telling them to just throw things out. Never move items without asking. Ask what matters most to them, listen, and offer to help at their pace.
Will insurance pay for hoarding cleanup?
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.
