Hoarding conditions are complex environments that often extend beyond clutter.

Hoarding situations often extend far beyond excessive clutter. Over time, accumulated materials can create layered environmental conditions that impact not only the usability of the space but also the safety of the structure and the health of occupants.

Our hoarder cleanup and hoarding cleaning services address both visible clutter and the underlying conditions commonly found in hoarder homes and distressed properties.

In many cases, hoarding environments may involve a combination of:

• Mold growth caused by trapped moisture

• Rodent droppings and contamination requiring rodent control dropping cleanup

• Animal or pet waste requiring animal feces cleanup

• Insect infestation and nesting

• Human waste contamination in severe cases

• Airborne dust and particulate buildup

• Blocked pathways creating fire hazards and safety issues
concerns

Materials that have been stacked or left undisturbed for extended periods often conceal contamination beneath the surface. This may include affected subflooring, drywall, insulation, and other structural components.

Moisture trapped between layers of debris can accelerate microbial growth, while waste contamination can lead to persistent odor and air quality issues if not properly addressed.

In more advanced hoarding situations, cleanup may require junk removal, distressed property cleanup, and removal of contaminated materials to fully restore safe living conditions.

Our hoarding cleanup process is designed to go beyond basic hoarder cleaning… addressing both the visible conditions and the underlying environmental concerns so the property can be safely restored.

  • They made a very difficult situation much easier to deal with. Kimberly and her team were very communicative, informative, and flexible with us. Pricing was transparent and fair, much better than other companies who bid the work. Would absolutely call them again.

    Amazing, quite thorough in their work. We called them to cleanup rodent droppings. Left the garage very clean and prestige. Very professional. They cleaned the inside of all the garage cabinets. Every step was explained and photographed and shared with us. Look no further.

  • The 911 crew, from Kimberly and Sean to the clean-up crew, led by Alejandro, were professional and thorough. Kimberly kept me up-to-date regarding scheduling and necessary documents. The clean-up crew was very thorough and even had time to add another small section of flooring. I highly recommend 911 Hazmat Clean-up for any task!

  • Stop your search right here! You do not need to go any further. 911 Hazmat Cleaners will take care of you for a very reasonable price in a very difficult situation. I had an unattended death and level 4 hoarder clean up. I was overwhelmed! 911 Hazmat Cleaners was $7,000 cheaper than the other bids. They were perfect in everyway. You couldn’t believe the before and after photos. And the smell afterwards was amazing! They also bought lunch for my husband and me everyday we were there with them. Just mention to the other companies that you are going to talk to 911 Hazmat and watch their faces fall because they know. We were so happy we tipped the guys a hundred dollars each. You will be happy too if you have to use them!

    Everyone with whom I worked with at 911 Hazmat was above expectations in satisfaction for the client, consideration for the neighbors, efficiency in their work, positive and supportive throughout the 18 days to complete the cleanup, trustworthy, and so thoughtful to me while I was grieving for my sister and dealing with a toxic cleanup. The documentation of work they did every day with pictures and amounts of trash dumped was especially helpful since I could not physically be onsite once worked started on the property. They give an estimate and stick with it. This company is the BEST.
