If you have ever watched reality television, then you already know that cleaning up after a person with a hoarding disorder is much more than a simple de-cluttering job. It is a massive undertaking that should only be done by highly trained and certified professionals.
Hoarding cleanup can pose several health threats, from bacteria growth to animal feces and rodent infestation. By hiring a hoarding cleanup service, you can protect yourself and your loved ones from these health hazards and trust that the job is handled thoroughly, professionally, and discreetly.
Hoarding disorder is a complex psychological condition characterized by the excessive acquisition of possessions and an inability to let go. Those caught in the grip of hoarding may struggle to recognize the dangers lurking in their homes due to emotional attachments and fear of parting with their belongings. Understanding the psychological struggles behind hoarding behaviour is crucial as we approach this issue with empathy and compassion.
We have over 25 years of experience with hoarding cleanups, and we are prepared for the very worst.

“We recently hired Local when faced with an extreme hoarding + bedbug situation in our building. Pest control couldn’t enter until the unit was cleared out and we were at our wit’s end as the residents would neither clean nor vacate. In the first visit, the team heat-treated the unit. They donned full body coveralls and face masks, dragging out infested furniture and filling what appeared to be a 20-yard disposal bin over approximately 12 hours. They returned in the coming days to fill a second bin, strip the entire unit down to the drywall (cupboards, flooring, appliances etc), and then began pest control treatments.
They had to juggle the enormity of the trauma clean, as well as neighbours who complained about the Dumpster (which forced them to quickly relocate it) and an EXTREME bedbug infestation. Both office personnel and the on-site crew were honest and easy to communicate with. They did what they promised in the time that they promised. In short they were heroic!”
Hoarding and Mental Health
A clean home is important to your mental health. Research has shown that living in a cluttered environment increases stress.
In some ways, clutter and mess are linked to negative emotions like confusion, tension, and irritability, while an organized home produces more positive emotions like calmness and a sense of well-being.
Devoting just a few minutes to organizing things around you and clearing away any mess may make it easier for you to concentrate. Limiting the number of possessions you own can have the same impact because it reduces the number of things vying for your brain’s attention.
Most people put off cleaning because the task seems way too big to tackle. It can feel like their life is out of control and they don’t know where to start. That’s when it’s time to call in the experts at Local Trauma Clean.
The Dangers of Hoarding
A cluttered house poses a threat to your home and your neighbours. If your living space is cluttered with items, they could unknowingly serve as kindling for a fire. Piles of newspapers, cardboard boxes, and excess furniture, all become dangerous fuel, turning a spark into an inferno within seconds. Clutter may also obstruct escape routes and could impede the efforts of firefighters.
With an experienced hoarding cleanup company, the clean up process will go smoothly and efficiently. Hoarding cleanup not only entails clutter clean up, but the recovery of all the items in the home that are still useful, valuable and sentimental.
Local Trauma Cleanup is committed to completing this task quickly and compassionately.
