What Is Hoarding Cleanup?
Hoarding cleanup involves the safe removal of accumulated items and debris from a property that has become unsafe or unlivable.
But in many cases, hoarding cleanup overlaps with biohazard remediation.
When contamination such as:

Mold
Decomposition
Food waste
is present, the situation becomes more than clutter removal.
It becomes professional biohazard cleanup.
