Compulsive Hoarding: The Worst Case Scenarios

November 21, 2011 By Avery Associates

Jeffrey Avery & Associates offer assistance if you are experiencing a problem with compulsive hoarding anywhere in the UK, then you should give us a call to deal with your house clearance. We are London house clearance specialists and professionals at clearing properties where hoarding has been a problem and we can help you to deal with your property if it has been affected by compulsive hoarders.

Hoarding can become a serious problem for a number of reasons. Here are some of the worst case scenarios which can develop with a serious hoarding problem.

Animal Hoarding

Animal hoarding is one of the most serious types of hoarding that exists. When someone has a problem with animal hoarding, residents nearby are often alerted to the problem due to the noise and the smell. Animals often get into very serious health problems as well because it becomes impossible to give them the care that they need. Also, the build up of faeces can be very harmful for the health of any inhabitants.

Decomposing Food

When there is a severe problem with hoarding, it can often become difficult to clean up food and other decomposable waste. Food and biological substances can also pose a real health risk when they start to decompose and it becomes a lot harder to clean up these things in a hoarding situation.

Dangerous Materials

Quite often dangerous materials such as chemicals can get collected by someone suffering from hoarding. Things such as asbestos and other such dangerous materials which were legal many years ago can sometimes get stored away, and these can have a harmful effect on anyone living in the property.

Structural Damage

When items build up to serious levels, structural damage can become a problem. The sheer quantity of objects becomes so great that the floors can actually collapse or suffer damage. This is when hoarding can become dangerous and the cost of fixing a problem can be prohibitive.

Get Your Property Cleared

We can deal with a property clearance when there has been a problem with hoarding. Clients can give us a call and we can clear a property even when the problem is very serious. All in all, hoarding can be a very serious issue. As a house clearance firm dealing with hoarding throughout the UK, give us a call to sort your problem out.

Our House Clearance Services

We provide a full house clearance and property management solution:

  • We clear hoarded houses, regardless how big or how cluttered
  • We clear all types and sizes of property, irrespective of location, or access is restricted or where parking is difficult or not available.
  • We can help avoid water damage by draining the central heating system.

As well normal house clearances we specialise in clutter clearance and we can clear a hoarded house which may contain years of accumulated possessions, or which have abnormal amounts of general household items, sometimes as a result of compulsive hoarding syndrome.

Equally we can help to clear a property where the occupants were previously unwell and unable to care for themselves or their property which sometimes results in insanitary, dangerous or just plain unpleasant conditions.
