Do You Have A Hoarding Problem – The Solution For Clearing A Hoarded Property Is Only A Phone Call Away

March 10, 2016 By Avery Associates

The Solution To Clearing A Hoarded House

The first step being the phone call seeking help, the second step is the visit on the first day then organising and tidying at a pace that suits you, and the last step is the day you takeback control of your life and look at your accomplishments and the sense of relief for what you have achieved.

Problems With Decision Making

Many people with a tendency toward “hoarding” struggle with the necessary decisions involved with seeking and effecting change, a change that can begin from the first phone call and concludes with a clean or tidy or cleared home, returned to the condition it was before clutter overwhelmed it. This may have happened over a long period of time and become more and more difficult to tackle alone.

Don’t Be Afraid Make That Phone Call

For many this first phone call to discuss the problems that have built up within their home can be a terrifying yet crucial step. It is very difficult to open up to a complete stranger, the seriousness of the conditions within a property or the personal stresses that have led to the items or disarray within a home becoming an overwhelming burden. This burden may render the occupant unable to receive visitors or service people, creating enforced isolation and furthering depression or loneliness unnecessarily. We understand that an individual feels very vulnerable when making first contact and are mindful of this when you call.

Many Of Your Possessions Are Important To You Of Course

All of the items within a property may in fact be important to an individual and perhaps the risk of losing anything when receiving help to restore a property may prevent one from making that first initial phone call to explore the levels of help available. We can assure people that all care will be taken with individual items, personal effects and documents and the saving of these is routine.

Pick Up The Phone And Call Us

This initial phone call is a first step in gaining advice and support from people who are used to clearing and sorting homes in chaotic and unsanitary condition. Often there is a great deal of concern that a stranger is coming into your home, when no one else has for some time, and a lot of shame is felt at the state of the property being seen after being hidden so long. The arrival of a friendly and sympathetic helper will reassure you that this is more common that anyone imagines. An individual needing outside assistance with their problems is quite common so don’t feel alone, guilty or ashamed because we know that your situation has arisen from any number of circumstances that were beyond your control.

Immediate Results

From the first day of receiving help you will be back on track and your home will be on its way to change and normality. The difference between a home where you cannot invite visitors and one you can be proud of again, with all your personal effects restored, is only a matter of days. These days needn’t be consecutive, they would normally be spaced apart, at a pace to suit yourself. We are pleased to offer specific and practical advice around clearing and sorting a property whilst reducing any anxiety or stress for the individual concerned.

Back To Normal Living Conditions

It is reassuring for yourself and your home to be treated with respect and care, dispelling any unnecessary worries and although it can be an exhausting process, going from start to finish, clearing each room and making a decision on each and every item found, it can be an incredibly postitive and cathartic process. This process is so much easier when you have someone with you to share any thoughts or worrys or feeling as things are found or disposed. Finally, relief as you sit down and relax after the task has been successfully completed by you – Yes you as we are purely their to assist guide and support you all the way.
