Hoarding Care from SERVPRO

6/10/2019 (Permalink)

Hoarded items are often things others would throw away or look at as junk or garbage such as old newspapers, junk mail, or packaging.

"Hoarding disorder is a persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions because of a perceived need to save them. A person with hoarding disorder experiences distress at the thought of getting rid of the items. Excessive accumulation of items, regardless of actual value, occurs." - according to The Mayo Clinic

At SERVPRO of Chelmsford/Westford, we encounter these situations in many different forms. While we may be working in the home due to a water, fire, or mold loss, there may become a point in the cleaning that the SERVPRO professionals need to change their focus. Handling a situation in which someone is a hoarder takes care, compassion, and sensitivity from all involved. Our team is trained to handle these situations with the utmost care at all times. 

If you have concern for this situation in your home or property, please call us at SERVPRO of Chelmsford/Westford. We will help you make it "Like it never even happened."
