FAQ

Hoarding cleanup questions, answered.

If you're looking into help for yourself, a parent or a tenant, you probably have questions you'd rather not ask out loud. Here are the ones we hear most.

01Before we start

What is the process for a large-scale cleanout?
Call or text 614-845-6117. We do a walkthrough or look at photos you send, give you a straight quote, then sort, haul, deep clean and treat odors, and finish with a final walkthrough together.
Do I have to be there while you clean?
No. Many families hand us a key and come back when it's done. Others want to be there to decide what stays. Either way works, and we set aside anything you want to look at before it leaves the home.
Will the neighbors know?
We keep it private. We don't discuss the job with neighbors or anyone but you, and we schedule around what works for you.
What level is my home?
You don't need to know. Our Hoarding Levels guide describes Levels 1 to 5 in plain language if it helps, but the easiest way is to text us a few photos for a confidential, judgment-free look. We've seen every level.

02Your belongings

What happens to my things?
Nothing leaves without a plan. We sort into keep, donate, recycle and haul. Photos, documents, jewelry, cash and keepsakes are set aside for you first.
How do you handle personal belongings?
We sort with you, item by item: keep, donate or haul. You decide what stays, and nothing leaves without your OK.

03Time, cost & payment

How long does a cleanup take?
It depends on the size of the home and how much has to be sorted versus hauled. After a walkthrough or photos we give you a realistic timeline before we start.
How much does a hoarding cleanup cost?
Every home is different, so we quote each job after a walkthrough or photos. The quote covers sorting, hauling, cleaning and disposal, so there are no surprises at the end. Proof of insurance is available on request before we start.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, payment plans are available. Ask us when you call or text and we'll walk you through the options for your project. Don't let the cost of a large cleanout stop you from asking for help.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Payment and financing options include Affirm, Afterpay and Klarna, subject to eligibility. There's no minimum project size set by us. Ask when you call or text and we'll walk you through the options.

04Safety & who we work with

Are you insured and bonded?
We're fully insured and bonded, with commercial general liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate. Proof of insurance is available on request.
Is your crew trained for biohazard work?
Select members of our crew have completed OSHA-10, Bloodborne Pathogens and Respiratory Protection training, plus training in proper PPE and respirator use. We bring protective gear suited to the job, and we'll talk through your situation honestly before we start.
Can you handle odors, mold, pet waste or biohazards?
Yes. Odor, animal waste, spoiled food and biohazard situations are a normal part of our work. We bring the right equipment and protective gear, and we deep clean and sanitize once the home is cleared.
Are your services safe for sensitive environments?
Safety is our priority. We use professional-grade equipment and protective gear, and we keep your home secure throughout the process.
Who do you work with, and where?
Families, caseworkers, Adult Protective Services, landlords, property managers and estate attorneys, anywhere in Ohio and in eastern and central Indiana. We're based in Newark and travel statewide. If the person living there isn't ready, we don't force anything; sometimes it starts with one room.
