At JunkDoctors, we understand that a hoarding cleanout in Delaware is much more complicated than a standard house cleanout. As a hoarder’s home accumulates more and more junk, it can go from dirty and cluttered to dangerous. An advanced hoarder situation is highly likely to contain biohazardous materials, and stacked junk has the potential to injure a person if not removed carefully. Due to the risk involved, it’s highly important to hire a professional hoarding cleanup service like JunkDoctors. Not only do we have the knowledge and expertise to remove a hoarder’s junk safely, we also understand that the person who created the issue never intended for it to spiral out of control, and we treat them with the compassion they deserve. For a free, no-obligation estimate, simply fill out our contact form or give us a call. We look forward to helping you put an end to this problem.
Hoarding is the excessive accumulation of items, even if the items are of little or no actual value. The hoarder has a difficult time discarding or parting with these items, regardless of how much space they may take up or how cluttered their living area becomes. The hoarder may also feel a need to save these items for future use, even if they have no intention of ever using them.

When individuals hoard, they are at risk for a number of health and safety hazards. These hazards can be present even if the individual is not currently living in the home. Some of these hazards include: fire risks, trip and fall risks, biohazardous materials, and pests.
Fire Risks: One of the biggest dangers associated with hoarding is the increased risk for fires. This is due to a variety of factors including cluttered pathways which make it difficult to evacuate in the event of a fire, as well as an increased likelihood of electrical fires due to overloaded outlets. In addition, hoarders are often reluctant to throw away anything that could potentially be useful, leading to a build-up of flammable materials such as newspapers and magazines.
Trip and Fall Risks: Another hazard associated with hoarding is an increased risk for trip and falls. This is due to cluttered floors and walkways which make it difficult to navigate through the home. Hoarders may also have difficulty moving around their own belongings, increasing their chances of falling. In addition, stacked items can topple over, leading to serious injury if someone is underneath them when they fall.
Biohazardous Materials: When individuals hoard, they may accumulate large amounts of garbage and food waste. This can lead to unsanitary conditions which can attract vermin and other pests. In addition, rotting food can produce mold and mildew which can cause respiratory problems for people with allergies or asthma. Finally, hoarded homes may contain hazardous materials such as cleaning products or chemicals which can be harmful if inhaled or ingested.
Pests: Hoarded homes provide an ideal environment for pests such as rodents and cockroaches. These pests are attracted by the clutter as well as the food waste that may be present in a hoarded home. In addition, these pests can spread disease-causing bacteria throughout the home which can pose a serious health risk for occupants.

Those who do the hoarding cleaning must be prepared for animal (rats, mice, vermin, etc.) droppings and the animals still alive running through the items and trash. The droppings contain all types of diseases, and unless you have your hepatitis (A, B, and C) shots, tetanus shots, RBI shots, and other array of shots dealing with harmful and deadly diseases, you might be taking a chance when cleaning up after a hoarding.
Please also be careful for sharp objects (knives, broken glass, and sharp objects of any kind) that will cut you. Hypodermic needles can also be a concern.
Please call us at 973-336-8083 for assistance in hoarding clean up.
JunkDoctors personnel are trained to put aside all valuables and any items that may have a monetary value. These items are shown to the responsible party and boxed up for further evaluation by the responsible party.
Timing differs for each home depending on volume, size, hazards, and more. Our professional cleanout experts can clean out a home in 3-5 days. Depending on the person who is hoarding, the process can easily be extended for several weeks.
The vast majority of those who contact us are in the midst of attempting to declutter/liquidate an estate after the death of a family member or in cases where they are legally appointed guardians or conservators.
We are also contacted by seniors themselves—or their legal representatives—needing assistance with downsizing the estate or with packing and making all needed arrangements to ensure a safe, smooth transition to an alternative residential environment.
There are two ways that hoarding clean out service is priced (volume vs hourly). The price difference depends whether or not the person that collected the items would be present during the clean out. Pricing for hoarding cleanouts include bagging, dismantling, loading, hauling, disposal or recycling fees.
