When Your Lost Loved One Was A Hoarder—How Can You Recover the Family Home?

The death of a loved one deeply affects families, but when the person lost was a hoarder, the surviving family members face an additional and unique trauma. If the hoarding behavior developed later in life, they’ve watched helplessly as their family home slowly descended into unhealthy chaos. They’ve seen their treasured heirlooms and family photos disappear under piles and piles of clutter, while they are left with a home that is both unlivable and unsellable.

At Clutter and Hoarding Pros, we offer hoarding estate cleaning services that specialize in helping families not only restore a home to clean, livable condition, but we also help tame the clutter in respectful, conscientious fashion.  

Many estate cleanout services approach a hoarder’s home as a total loss, treating it more as a trash dump than a family property. While much of a hoard truly needs to be disposed of safely, our contents management specialists understand that your family may still have important or valuable items buried beneath the clutter. We focus on a carefully planned strategy that appreciates the restoration potential of the home’s contents, as well as the overall goals of the surviving family members. When clients partner with us, they gain a trained, experienced team, not just contract laborers. 

Rather than simply an estate removal service, Clutter and Hoarding Pros offers a one-call solution for taming a hoard, recovering what can be saved, and restoring the home to clean condition. Even if a hoarder’s home has become a biohazard, our team can manage it in a safe, effective fashion. 

Beyond our professional experience, our team also has extensive training and understanding of hoarding behavior and its connection to mental illness or emotional trauma. We know that families often feel embarrassed to have an outsider assess the home, or fear judgment of their lost loved one.

​We believe in treating our clients, their properties, belongings, and memories with genuine caring and compassion. We want them to feel heard, and also empowered to move forward in a constructive manner. 

 If you need help clearing an estate of a hoarder loved one, we encourage you to contact us for an on-site assessment so that your family can develop a plan for recovering his or her home. 

Don’t let a hoard ruin your memories; we’ll help you restore your family home so that you can heal and move toward a hopeful future.
