Case Study: How Restoration 1 Can Help Solve A Hoarding Problem

IMG_4868

We were recently called to help homeowners who were tasked with getting a house ready for selling. Upon arrival, we stepped into a very narrow hallway – narrow because of the collection of random objects that formed “walls.” There were stacks of books and newspapers, a collection of cardboard boxes filled with items that the previous owner didn’t want to throw away. You could see dishes, lamps and paper bags littering the floor. We could barely squeeze through doors to reach other rooms. There were mountains of clothes, towels and sheets on every bed.

While interesting, sad and a little funny at the same time, these piles can be crawling with rodents and cockroaches, or covered in mildew, mold, and bacteria. The presence of these mounds – whatever they are composed of – are a fire hazard to the property owner.

The excessive storage of goods can result in an urgent cleanup problem. Degradation of property and inhabitable spaces require a higher level of cleanup. This problem is too extensive for most people to tackle on their own. This is a situation that falls outside of the normal everyday experience. But the technicians at Restoration 1 are equipped with the right technology, tools and training to handle a hoarding cleanup situation.

There are other abnormal situations that Restoration 1 can handle. After death, a tragic accident, chemical spills, the fabrication of drugs, or in the case of infectious, communicable diseases, Restoration 1 can provide cleanup services quickly and efficiently. Our technicians are trained to expertly handle biohazards by isolating, cleaning, disinfecting and decontaminating each surface as needed. We hope this is something you never have to handle. But if you do, know that the technicians at Restoration 1 are trained to handle each situation in a respectable manner.

Restoration 1 also understands the emotional and physical difficulties involved with the cleanup of any of these situations. While we are trained to clean, deodorize, disinfect and decontaminate areas, we also exhibit a sympathetic attitude to all involved. We also use the right equipment and the proper cleaning compounds – cleaning components that are designed to handle specific problems.
