|---|---|
| Level 3 | $2,000 - $5,000 |
| Level 2 | $1,000 - $3,000 |
| Level 1, light | $500 - $1,500 |
| Most homes, per square foot | $1 - $2 per square foot |

Hoarding is often described in levels, and level one is the lightest. Clutter is present but exits and pathways are open, utilities work and rooms can still be used. Higher levels bring blocked rooms, sanitation problems and safety hazards.
A lightly crowded room may take a day, while a whole home with heavy buildup can take several days to a few weeks. The resident's pace, pests, mold and repairs all change the timeline. The team can estimate after seeing the home.
Yes. A cleanup team can sort, clear and clean a home once the resident has moved, entered care or died. The family can set rules for photos, papers and keepsakes, and the work moves at the family's pace.
Not always, but it often helps. When the resident is present, sorting goes more smoothly and decisions are respected. If the resident cannot attend, the family or caller can set clear rules about what is kept.
Start with safety, then sort, remove and clean in that order. Exits and fire hazards come first, then spoiled food and unsafe items, then deep cleaning of kitchens and bathrooms. The resident decides what stays, and a cleanup team can handle the heavy parts.
Hoarding cleanup is the safe clearing and cleaning of a home that has too many belongings to use as intended. A cleanup team opens exits, sorts items with the resident, hauls away what is released and cleans and disinfects. It is done at the resident's pace.
