Clearing hallways, stairs, garages, sheds and storage areas as well as living spaces

How Crews Clear a Hoarder House in Estero, FL

1. Talk through goals

Is the house being sold, rented, repaired or kept? The answer sets the level of cleaning and the order of work.

2. Photograph and document

The team can note the condition of rooms before and after. This helps with insurers, buyers and landlords.

3. Remove, donate and recycle

Trash goes to disposal, usable goods go to donation, and recyclables go where they belong. Spoiled and unsafe items leave first.

4. Sanitize the space

Hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected with EPA-registered products. Soaked or ruined flooring is flagged for removal or repair.

Who pays for a hoarder house cleanout?

Usually the owner. For an estate, the estate pays or the cost comes from the sale of the house. Family members sometimes share it. In a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant.
