People will tell you that they are just collectors in Chuluota, Kissimmee, Orlando, Oviedo, Winter Park, FL, and the surrounding areas, but what they really are is a hoarder. People who can’t let things go that have no value, are keeping it ‘just in case’, have a condition knowing as hoarding. HAZstat has helped many such situations with our specialized cleaning equipment as well as personal protection gear. Hoarding can involve handling unattended death cleanup, rotting food, animal and/or human feces, and other biohazardous issues that necessitate people stay away unless they have protective gear. Many times people are dealing with a deceased family member that was a hoarder and they are now dealing with the aftermath, but sometimes the hoarder is still alive and may have issues with cleaning up their space. Contact us today to learn more about how we handle hoarder cleanup.
Hoarding Situations Provide Numerous Hazards
A hoarding situation presents a number of issues that affect not only the hoarder themselves but also anyone else working to clean up the situation. Many items that the hoarder has will be paper-based and dry, which is a fire hazard. Often times there is rotting food, deceased animals, feces and/or urine, and all of this can be a health hazard for everyone. And in some cases, the structure of where they live may be compromised as the hoarded items add weight to the floor which may not have been designed for the sustained added weight.
Every hoarding situation is different, from the level of hoarding to the items that have been hoarded. Even hoarding situations that don’t seem to be too bad can have things like mold, expired food, as well as difficulty even navigating through the spaces. While much of what is being hoarded is of little or no value, there may also be items that have great personal value or financial value.
