Who Are Hoarding Specialists?

A hoarding specialist assists with a deep cleaning project. They ensure that the project is respectfully and efficiently completed. A hoarding specialist works intimately with the individual with the hoarding disorder supporting and guiding them through the de-cluttering process.

A hoarding disorder is triggered by the constant difficulty of throwing or discarding belongings of any type, even when they are not needed or are of any value. Excessive accumulation of things in the house must be addressed as it can lead to severe disasters, which many hoarders don’t realize unless costly damages are done.

Getting rid of accumulated items may be a problem. It is best to consult a therapist who can help your loved one understand they have an issue and navigate them through how to get rid of the clutter safely by organizing a deep cleanup.

How Does a Hoarding Specialist Help After a Disaster?

A hoarding specialist ensures that discarded objects are sorted out carefully during the cleaning process. This ensures the owner that their valuables and keepsakes are actually of high value are not displaced or dumped in the process.

The cleanup project begins by categorizing objects into groups. Some items are disposed of, while others are kept for donations. Items that pose health risks or risks to the property are discarded in conformance with the OSHA regulations. This includes things like:

• Soiled materials
• Spoiled boxes
• Containers
• Wrappers
• Rotten food
• Hazardous items

When the biohazard cleaning process is underway, all hoarded items that expose homeowners to life-threatening risk or their environment are disposed of responsibly.

The next step is to assist homeowners with picking items that they don’t need but can be donated. Hoarding specialists ask homeowners to select a charitable cause and then sort things for donations.

Moreover, after a disaster like fire or water damage, hazardous or other items already of no value and are not wet or burned must be disposed of as soon as possible. Allow our specialist team at 911 Restoration of Connecticut to work by your side for a deep cleanup and restoration job.
