Which parts of a hoarded property can your team clean or decontaminate?

The scope is based on the areas affected, the materials present, and the priorities agreed with the responsible person. Work may include removal of accumulated items and, when indicated, cleanup of biohazards, decontamination, and regulated disposal. An assessment is needed to confirm what applies.

Is professional cleanup safer than asking family members to clear the property?

Professional assessment is advisable when suspected biohazards or hazardous materials may be present. Certified technicians use appropriate PPE and follow applicable handling and disposal standards. The team can discuss the observed risks before you decide how to proceed.

Can you help with insurance paperwork for hoarding cleanup?

Code Three Trauma Clean can assist with insurance claims and documentation when applicable. Whether a policy covers the work depends on its terms and the insurer’s decision, so confirm coverage directly with your provider.

What should I expect after the cleanup is complete?

The team reviews the completed work with you and discusses any remaining concerns related to the agreed scope. If insurance documentation applies, assistance may be available. Follow-up needs depend on the property condition and work performed.
