Water Damage Restoration in a Home With Hoarding

8/24/2023 (Permalink)

Water damage from floodwater is considered a biohazardous situation, as the water can contain dangerous pathogens. When a home is a hoarding situation, the work becomes a bit more complicated, with several more layers of clean up involved.

In many hoarding situations, the floors and walls of the home cannot be accessed so its possible that there existed unnoticed water or mold damage prior to the flood.  

The contents of the home need to be removed prior to the restoration work beginning. Our team always takes the upmost precautions when we work in such a home. Our crew wears protective gear to prevent exposure to pathogens and items must be disposed of properly.  When the affected area is clear, we can better assess the situation and create a water damage restoration plan that we leave the home clean and safe for those who live there.

We understand that hoarding can be a delicate situation to address and our team approaches our work with empathy and consideration in such cases.
