Compassionate Hoarding Cleanup Services in Oregon

Hoarding disorder is a complex behavioral health condition, and the resulting environment—often referred to as a distressed property or gross filth scene—presents unique hazards. It’s not just about clutter removal; it’s about addressing severe sanitation issues, pest infestations, mold, and hidden biological contaminants that make the property unsafe. Our approach is built on empathy and discretion, working with families and property owners to create a fresh start safely and respectfully.

The Hidden Dangers of Hoarding and Gross Filth

Homes affected by severe hoarding or gross filth pose a myriad of health and safety risks that go far beyond what standard cleaning services can handle. These conditions often require the expertise of a bio-hazard team to ensure proper decontamination. If you know someone that is struggling with hoarding disorder here is a good article

Major Risks in a Hoarded Environment:

• Respiratory Hazards: Accumulated dust, mold, mildew, and airborne particulate matter from decaying waste can severely impact indoor air quality, leading to chronic respiratory issues.
• Biohazard Exposure: Areas of the home may contain human or animal feces and urine, rotting food, or bloodborne pathogens, creating a breeding ground for dangerous bacteria and viruses (e.g., Hantavirus from rodent droppings).
• Structural and Fire Risk: Excessive weight from hoarded items can compromise the building’s structure. Furthermore, stacks of paper, clothing, and other debris can block exits and serve as extreme fire fuel, dramatically increasing the risk of a fatal fire.
• Pest Infestations: Rodents (mice, rats) and insects (cockroaches, flies) are drawn to the unsanitary conditions, compounding the health risks as they spread disease-causing pathogens.

Do not attempt to clean these environments yourself. Our team is equipped with full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and specialized tools to manage these biohazards safely.te cleanup. Don’t risk the health of your family, tenants, or future buyers—let our experts ensure the air and surfaces are safe.

The Olimpia Biohazard Hoarding Cleanup Process

Olimpia Biohazard and Restoration provides a structured, compassionate, and thorough process for Hoarding Cleanup to ensure the entire property is restored to a safe, sanitary condition.

1. Non-Judgmental Assessment: We start with a discreet on-site evaluation to determine the Hoarding Level (Level 1-5, with Level 5 being the most extreme and dangerous) and the extent of biohazard damage. We listen to the client’s needs and establish clear goals.
2. Safety & Sorting Plan: Before removal begins, we work with the client or family to identify and salvage items (sentimental belongings, important documents, valuables). The rest is categorized for recycling, donation, or proper disposal.
3. Hazard Removal & Debris Cleanup: Using proper protective gear, our team systematically removes all unwanted items, trash, and accumulated debris. All biological and potentially infectious waste is bagged, sealed, and disposed of in accordance with strict Oregon biohazard regulations.
4. Deep Cleaning & Decontamination: Once the property is cleared, we perform a forensic-level deep clean. This includes scrubbing and washing all surfaces, including walls, ceilings, and floors, with EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectants to kill all remaining bacteria and viruses.
5. Odor Removal & Sanitization: Hoarding scenes often have severe, penetrating odors. We utilize advanced odor removal techniques such as HEPA air scrubbing and hydroxyl/ozone treatments to neutralize deep-set smells, not just mask them.
6. Restoration Recommendations: We provide recommendations for necessary structural repairs (e.g., subfloor replacement, drywall repair) caused by moisture, mold, or long-term neglect.
