CLEANOUT EXPRESS KNOWS HOW TO HELP HOARDERS IN NEW YORK
In a city where most people co-exist in close quarters, and in tight spaces, hoarding is a concern that impacts everyone — but Cleanout Express makes handling the hoarding process as smooth and simple as possible.
Hoarding has long been a challenge in New York City, where many live in close proximity to other residents. The unmissable drips and smells — and the hygiene and safety concerns that appear alongside them — can mushroom into a dilemma for an entire building or home environment.
Our employees know how crucial it is to collaborate with the hoarder, the landlord, family members, and special staff, all in the service of rectifying hoarding clean-up scenarios.
By and large, it is simply a bad case of a cluttered dwelling. However, we frequently encounter truly severe hoarding situations. Yet with over twenty years of experience, we have seen it all.
Whether it be an apartment, condo, co-op, single family home, or a multi family residence, we have come upon many different levels of hoarding.
WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES OF HELPING HOARDERS TO HEAL?
On the whole, most hoarder scenarios aren’t too different from one another. They all seem to stockpile items that seem completely useless and worthless to most of us all.
Whether it be discarded food, newspapers and magazines, clothes, plastic empty bags or even random new and broken old items, ultimately… It’s clear, from the outside looking in, that someone’s well-being is at great risk.
Sometimes it’s just the hoarder at risk. Yet more often than not, the hoarder situation is putting other people, whether other live-in family members, or total strangers that live nearby, in an unsustainable environment.
The danger ranges from risk of fire to inhaling pathogens from mice and roach droppings. We have even seen raccoons, squirrels, and skunks invade some of the adverse hoarder homes.
We hear plenty of excuses from the hoarders themselves, the most common of them being, “What if I need [a certain item] one day?”, or “I don’t want to risk throwing out something that may be valuable.”
Yet once the bedroom is packed from floor to ceiling, and the bathroom fixtures, such as the sink, toilet and shower, become completely buried and unusable, the situation has irrefutably devolved into a serious health hazard.
That said, our work at Cleanout Express can do so much to provide emotional relief for everyone, as well as to restore the hoarder’s home to a hygienic, safe, and organized state.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT HOARDING IS A VERY SENSITIVE EMOTIONAL CONCERN
To be sure, hoarding represents a psychological condition that causes people to compulsively collect things. Hoarders can suffer from varying levels of anxiety that can make it difficult for them to throw things away. Because of this, we always approach every client with compassion and respect in a judgement-free environment.
What’s more, every hoarding cleanup service that we provide is custom-tailored to the needs of the client on an individual basis. It is this flexibility that allows us to provide the kindest and most thoughtful cleaning service possible.
Lastly, waste prevention is especially important to people in the midst of a hoarding concern. That’s why Cleanout Express makes every effort to pinpoint items that could be recycled and repurposed.
What is more, Cleanout Express will dedicate a special area to organize all of your items. We can categorize your items (furniture, plastic, electronics, etc.), so that we can better specify which items can be retained for you or to otherwise have removed for you.
