Your Safe Hoarding Solution in Fountain

Hoarding and clutter are not the same. Most of our homes have clutter. We simply do not weed out unused items like old clothes and outdated electronic gadgets as frequently as we should when they are replaced.

However, hoarders take the accumulation of items to the extreme. Eventually, the hoarded items fill up every inch of available space at the property and it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, pests, and more. At Trujillo's, we remove hoarded items in a safe & caring manner, making sure to leave the hoarder with his or her dignity in place while the property is returned to a habitable place once again.

Aspects of Hoarding Analyzed and Explained

Hoarding is a disorder. The disorder is described as difficulty with disposing of or parting with possessions. This difficulty is typically related to some sort of mental belief that makes an individual perceive that hoarded items are necessary to keep. Hoarded items are often organized into collections that are valuable to the hoarder but viewed as discardable by others. Common items hoarded include:

Newspapers
Old bottles or cans
Clothing
Food wrappers
Plastic bags
Boxes
Various trash Items

The Five Stages of Hoarding

Hoarding often has stages. As a result, the problem is not recognized or handled until it becomes out of control. However, it’s important to recognize that hoarding doesn’t just happen overnight. There are signs that lead to a hoarding mess. The best time to tackle a hoarding problem is when it starts to present itself. If you’re able to intervene by Stage 2, that is ideal. Of course, an intervention is much easier said than done. An informational look at the stages of hoarding:

Stage 1

Clutter starts to pile up here and there. At this point, the home starts to get messy but is typically still safe and probably relatively clean.

Stage 2

The clutter and hoarded possessions start to get out of hand. There might be limited pathways in the home, or perhaps certain rooms are starting to be overrun. Entries and exits become blocked and cleanliness starts to fail.

Stage 3

The home starts to become very limited. The clutter is taking over the home, denying access to many parts of the home and making rooms unusable or even inaccessible. Odors are likely presenting themselves from food and trash. Signs might be noticeable from the outside now.

Stage 4

The clutter begins to lead to infestations. This could include things like lice or fleas and other types of pests. If there are pets in the home, there is likely damage from those pets. Conditions are very unsafe to be in or reside in.

Stage 5

By this time, the home is completely overrun by hoarding. There are pests of all sizes, including rodents, and very little in the home is safely usable. There may be no functioning bathroom or utilities by this point and the home is not safe to navigate. It might even be inaccessible to most.
