Hoarding

7/21/2023 (Permalink)

Hoarding disorder is an ongoing difficulty throwing away or parting with possessions because you believe you need to save them. You may experience distress at the thought of getting rid of items. You gradually keep on gathering a huge number of items, regardless of their actual value.

Hoarding is a disorder that may be present on its own or as a symptom of another disorder. Those most often associated with hoarding are obsessive compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depression.

Excessive hoarding can lead to unsafe living conditions. Extreme filth, reduced air quality, mold and pests are just some of the consequences of hoarding. 

SERVPRO of High Point is skilled at working in situations like this. We are very skilled at working in "challenged" environments. Dirt and grime can be cleaned fairly easily, and mold remediation is one of our main services. Air quality can be handled with a much needed duct cleaning. An exterminator will be recommended for the pests.
