Hoarding cleanup for building management clients

We had a building manager call us in a panic, after a client had a fire in their condo. The shareholder or owner of this unit was a "collector," or what psychologists are calling a hoarder. We are seeing many of these homes filled with everything from old clothing and food debris, to bodily fluids in jars. You would not believe it. Sometimes, these units flood or burn, due to neglect and a lack of maintenance because the property owner is embarrassed to have plumbers come in. The occupants are often OCD, as Hoarding is being identified now. Families, psychologists and attorneys are hiring us to help their clients, who collect things, but may need help with gently sorting, boxing and pack or discarding rooms filled with belongings. Our crews are considerate and discreet – and we’re all background checked at SERVPRO of Scarsdale/Mount Vernon.
