Hoarding Cleanup

Steady Help for a
Difficult Situation

Hoarding situations build up over years, and by the time someone calls us the home often feels impossible to start on. Our job is to make it manageable. We bring a structured plan, the right protective equipment, and a team that treats the people involved with respect.

Before any work begins, we assess the property in person or remotely through photos and video, then agree on a written scope with you. You decide what is kept, what is donated, and what goes.

If the home belonged to a family member who has passed away, our estate cleanout service covers the full process, from sorting belongings to the final clean before listing.

Who Calls Us

Different Starting Points,
the Same Careful Approach

Family Members

Often a son, daughter, or sibling helping someone they care about. We plan the work with you and keep you updated, so you always know where things stand at the property.

Homeowners

If it is your own home, reaching out is usually the hardest part. We talk it through privately, agree on what matters to you, and carry the physical work from there.

Landlords & Property Managers

Units left in serious condition at the end of a tenancy. We clear and clean the property so it can be repaired, re-rented, or sold, and a service report is typically provided when the work is complete.

Scope of Work

What We Handle

Every job is scoped individually. This is the full range of what our team is trained and equipped to take on.

01

Sorting to Your Guidelines

You set the rules for what is kept, donated, or discarded, and we sort to them. Nothing is thrown away without your authorization.

02

Bins, Hauling & Donations

We coordinate bin rentals, hauling, and donation runs as part of the scope, so you are not managing separate contractors.

03

Biological Contamination

Bodily fluid contamination and other biohazard conditions, handled safely by GBAC-trained technicians with correct PPE and remediation protocols.

04

Rodent Activity

Droppings and nesting material need wet-method protocols to clean safely. If there is an active infestation, pest control comes first; we handle the cleanup and sanitization afterward.

05

Kitchens, Bathrooms & Appliances

Inside appliances, plumbing fixtures, cabinet interiors, and built-ins, restored to a clean, functional state regardless of their prior condition.

06

Overhead & Vents

Ceiling fixtures, vents, and vent covers, which collect contamination over time. We clean vents and vent covers, not interior ductwork.

Before you book: the home must be vacant

No one can stay in the home for the duration of the work. We will plan the timing with you before anything is scheduled.

Our Process

One Room at a Time,
Start to Finish

Hoarding cleanups follow the same four-stage process as all our work, scaled to what the property needs.

1

Assess

We assess the property in person or remotely, noting soiling levels, biological conditions, and what needs to happen to the items inside. The scope is confirmed in writing before we start.

2

Sort & Remove

Items are sorted to your guidelines and removed before cleaning begins. Bins, hauling, and donation runs are coordinated as agreed, and contaminated material is handled appropriately.

3

Clean

Once the space is cleared, we work top to bottom, room by room, with the correct products and PPE for each surface and condition. Biological contamination gets GBAC-level protocols.

4

Clear

Before we leave, every space is checked against the agreed scope. If anything falls short, we fix it before closing out the job.

Common Questions

Questions People
Ask Us

Do I need to be there while you work?

No. The home needs to be vacant for the duration of the work, so most clients are not on site. We agree on the scope and your sorting guidelines beforehand, and keep you updated throughout.

Does the home need to be empty of people?

Yes. The home must be vacant for the duration of the service. We will work out the timing with you before anything is booked.

Will you throw things away without asking?

No. Items are sorted to the guidelines you set: kept, donated, or discarded. Nothing is thrown away without your authorization.

Can you deal with mice or rats?

Yes. Our technicians are GBAC-trained for biological contamination, including rodent droppings, which require specific wet-method protocols to clean safely. For an active infestation, pest control comes first; we handle the cleanup and sanitization afterward.

What does hoarding cleanup cost?

Every property is scoped individually after an assessment, in person or remote, and you receive the full scope and cost in writing before work begins. Quotes are free and carry no obligation.

Will the neighbours know what is going on?

Our team works quietly and professionally, without drawing attention to the property.
