The Human Side of Hoarding: How We Handle Cleanup with Care

Hoarding isn't just a problem that affects a person's physical space but can also impact their emotional and mental health. Efforts from those trying to help can pose challenges that go beyond organizing and sorting items. At Bio-One of Modesto, we understand the emotional complexities involved in a hoarding cleanup process, and our team is qualified to handle the human side of hoarding with care.

What do hoarders typically accumulate?

A hoarder's house may have a considerable amount of personal items: from books, papers, old clothes to satellite dishes, appliances, and furniture. It can pose significant risks for the individuals living there and even those around. Left unattended, these scenarios can become hazardous.

Our team of experts understands the need for a safe and healthy home environment and the consequences of letting go of precious items.

What is the cleanup process like?

Our first step is sitting down with the client to understand their story and offer a non-judgmental space. Our team puts ourselves in the hoarder's shoes, assessing the reasons for their behavior and understanding the emotional attachment they have to these items.

The human side of hoarding goes beyond looking at the clutter. It's the result of a traumatic life event or a difficult situation that triggered this behavior. As we walk with our customers through the process, we make sure they are comfortable every step of the way.

Why is professional help necessary?

The cleanup process can be overwhelming for a hoarder. Our team takes it slow, allowing for adequate time for sorting and organizing personal items, along with removing any hazardous materials. Since hoarding is a medical condition, it is not uncommon for clients to require more resounding support. We offer resources to help hoarders develop a comprehensive plan for continued support.
