What Is Hoarding Cleanup?

Hoarding cleanup involves the professional removal of accumulated items, debris, and biohazardous materials from properties affected by hoarding disorder. This process goes beyond ordinary junk removal, as it often requires addressing biohazards, such as mold, animal waste, rotting food, and other health risks. As a leading trauma remediation company in North Country, NY, Post Trauma Scene Decon is trained to handle all facets of hoarding cleanup with care and professionalism.
