Common Questions About Hoarding Cleanouts in Salt Lake City, UT

Is hoarding a mental health condition?

Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition. A cleanout team does not diagnose anyone and treats every home and every person with respect.

Do cleanouts include cleaning, or only hauling?

That depends on the plan. Some jobs end broom-clean, and others include deep cleaning, disinfecting and odor treatment. Ask the team to say exactly what the job covers before work starts.

Can the team work for an executor, landlord or real estate agent?

Yes. Cleanouts are often arranged by executors, landlords, property managers and agents. The team follows their access instructions and can note the condition of the property for their records.

Can a cleanout team handle a garage, shed or storage unit too?

Yes. Garages, sheds, porches and storage areas are often part of a hoarder house cleanout. Mention every space on the first call so the plan and the haul-away cover them.

What happens to the items that are removed?

Usable goods go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, broken or unsafe items go to disposal, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.

What comes after the cleanout?

Repairs, pest control or a final deep clean, depending on what the crew found. The team passes along notes on damage so the owner can plan. For an occupied home, a plan for upkeep and support helps keep the rooms clear.
