We’ve all seen the realty TV shows about hoarding. But, the reality is, who do you turn to for help in your local community when you have a friend or family member that is a hoarder? Each case Is very different, and hoarding jobs are often sensitive situations, but SERVPRO of Edgewater/Deale-Churchton/Lothian is here to make it “Like it never even happened.” 

Reality TV show, Hoarding: Buried Alive has been around since 2010. On the documentary show, with the help of experts, men and women fight to find a way to defeat their unhealthy obsession, hoarding.  

People with hoarding disorder excessively save items that others may view as worthless. They have persistent difficulty getting rid of or parting with possessions, leading to clutter that disrupts their ability to use their living or work spaces.   

Hoarding can lead to homes filled with extreme clutter to full capacity from years of accumulation, making living conditions unsanitary and crowded. Bugs, fleas, rats, and other vermin may be present, at which point an exterminator would need to be called. At times, hoarding may spread to outside the home as well, to storage facilities, or even the garage or yard. 

Hoarding is a serious situation and our team treats each case with respect for the individual. When you need us, SERVPRO of Edgewater/Deale-Churchton/Lothian is here to help.
