Hoarding Is a Condition Requiring Professional Help
The fact is hoarding is a condition that is known about and has several stages of severity. When a property has a lot of junk on it the property owner or owners typically know that they do and they often have difficulty effectively cleaning up the property. Junk removal is something where the property owners will be willing to help and are okay with parting with the items that are making the property look junky. A hoarding situation is very different as the property owner is attached to the items and even though they do not have a logical reason for having them, they still cannot let them go.
Helping a hoarding situation needs to be done with care, and often done in conjunction with a mental health professional assisting and helping the hoarder work through the situation. One of the most important aspects for hoarding cleanup is the use of personal protective equipment and to ensure that the worst situations, such as involving rotting food or deceased animals, be addressed first.
The Hoarding Situation Can Be Dangerous
A hoarding situation can be dangerous for all people involved. In the more severe cases there could be issues with decaying or rotting food. spoiled food, animal or human feces or waste, deceased animals, or other biohazards. If there is a lot of items, this could prove to be a strain on the structure that they’re living in as well. Safety is of utmost concern, and once the biohazard factor has been properly dealt with then the remaining items need to be gone through with the help of the mental health professional and the hoarder.
