Hoarding

This means that the rooms within a home cannot be used for their intended purpose, as the excessive amounts of clutter have made living conditions impractical and unsanitary for the sufferer, dependents, and pets.

This can have far reaching effects for the sufferer; often leading to embarrassment and reclusion. Having guests into the home no longer becomes an option, the ability to physically move throughout the residence becomes obstructed and unsafe and sanitation and odour creates serious health risks. The professional team at Urge to Purge Inc. will begin by educating the client and their loved ones in order to initiate the decluttering process. Once the decluttering process begins, Urge to Purge Inc. will support the client in their decisions and create a trusting relationship between them and our team.

Hoarding remediation is a specialized cleaning and restoration process that involves safely clearing, sanitizing, and restoring spaces affected by excessive accumulation of items. Unlike standard cleaning, hoarding situations often involve biohazards such as mold, pests, or human waste, making professional intervention critical. Remediation teams work with compassion and discretion, often in coordination with mental health professionals, to ensure the affected individual feels supported rather than judged. The process typically includes decluttering, sorting salvageable items, deep cleaning, odor removal, and sometimes structural repairs. Successful hoarding remediation not only restores the physical space but also creates a healthier, more livable environment that can significantly improve quality of life.

Hoarding remediation involves clearing out cluttered or unsafe living spaces caused by compulsive hoarding. It requires trained professionals to safely remove debris, address health hazards, and clean the area thoroughly. The goal is to restore the home to a safe, livable condition while treating the situation with empathy and respect.

Our caring and patient technicians provide intense attention to detail so that we can confidently guarantee that all items and personal effects in the home will be handled according to our clients’ wishes. After the decluttering process is completed Urge to Purge Inc. will work diligently with the client to organize and label their remaining belongings and donate gently used items from our warehouse to replace those that have been discarded due to contamination.
