Hoarding Clean up Safety Issues

Hoarding is a disease that is being identified more since it’s becoming more common. Some homes have piles and piles of stuff packed to the ceiling. These piles are often not organized at least to the outsiders and sometimes look like a dumpster that has been emptied inside the home. To worsen the whole issue, these piles can also cause structural damage to the home and be a breeding ground for diseases.

The harboring of mass materials and/or trash in a home can also lead to mold growth, fire hazards, plumbing issues and rodent infestations.  Individuals suffering from hoarding conditions, can’t let go of items for they feel the need to keep them or they have some sort of value. But most of the items in a home of a hoarder are just trash, and living conditions can become so deplorable that illnesses develop.

Sadly, some people have even lived in homes without running water or electricity and resort to using bottles to relieve themselves. The result always leads to some health and safety issues. In fact, some hoarders have caused fires which has led to death because the fire service could not even locate the hoarder and family members in due time because of the massive amount of items in the home. We have also seen issues where tall piles of materials have fallen on the hoarder and they were seriously injured. This is unfortunately a dangerous scenario especially when hoarding clean up is not taken seriously.
