SERVPRO Hoarder Cleaners Needed at Falmouth Home

Hoarding situations are among the most difficult types of biohazard remediation that SERVPRO handles because every situation is different. The person who created the hoard often has their own reasons for filling with home with everything from trash, items, and pets. SERVPRO technicians manage these Falmouth job types with professionalism and compassion. 

SERVPRO Hoarder Cleaners Initial Inspection in Falmouth Property

When SERVPRO techs arrived at the Falmouth property for the biohazard remediation on the hoard, the collection of articles within the home proved to be massive. The Before Photo gives a small glimpse as to the size of the cleanup needed in the Falmouth home. SERVPRO techs found baskets, wires, fast food containers, and an overwhelming odor in the house. The resident piled the items on top of each other, leading to the need for hoarder cleaners on a hoard that was several layers in depth. 

Hoarding in Falmouth Needs Services of Disinfecting Companies 

No matter what type of items get piled up in a Falmouth home, a hoard is a serious health risk. The articles in the home can block potential exits in case of fire; leaving trash around can harbor many kinds of harmful elements such as Staphylococcus bacteria, for example. For this reason, SERVPRO techs wear personal protective equipment, including respirators, during the biohazard remediation in the home.  

Common Issues SERVPRO Sees as Hoarder Cleaners in Falmouth

Residents of properties with an ongoing hoarding problem in Falmouth often have issues with the home, such as the need for mold remediation due to plumbing problems or structural deterioration from water damage repairs that have not been done due to the reluctance of the property owner to allow anyone into the Falmouth home. SERVPRO does not judge; the technicians are there to help clean up the hoard and use their restoration methods for biohazard remediation to turn the house into a clean place for the resident to live. It is not unusual for SERVPRO techs to also perform rodent clean-up services or sewage cleanup as pests and plumbing problems are frequently present in hoarding situations. 

SERVPRO Hoarder Cleaners Gives Back a Falmouth Home

Among Falmouth disinfecting companies, SERVPRO techs work hard to make a property affected by hoarding into a residence the homeowner can safely live in again. SERVPRO technicians can inspect the home and determine potential areas of water or black mold damage repairs that need to happen in the house. Also, another frequently seen issue is soot on walls and ceilings from cooking mishaps. When the smoke damage stays on the walls, the odor can spread throughout the home and get absorbed by porous objects. A hoard with piles of clothing and other items can produce enormous odors. 

The After Photo shows a clean bedroom with a stripped-down bed and a few of the over 70 bags of blankets, clothing, and other washable items collected during the hoarder cleaner services in the Falmouth property SERVPRO. The technicians know that seeing the items get donated to charity or otherwise removed from the home is an important process in the cleanup of a hoarding situation. SERVPRO technicians work to make sure that the resident gets respected during the biohazard remediation process in Falmouth.
