Hoarding Disorder Cleaning: Clearance and Property Restoration

Our Services for Hoarding Disorder Properties

Clearance and Cleaning of Unsanitary Properties

When a home is in a state of advanced hoarding disorder, our first mission is a safe clearance: sorting recoverable items, removing waste, and clearing everything that makes the property uninhabitable. Our agents, trained and equipped with PPE, handle even the most complex situations — extreme accumulation, pest infestations, damaged floors or walls.

• Sorting, clearance and removal of accumulated objects and waste
• Pest treatment (rats, cockroaches, bedbugs)
• Deep cleaning and disinfection of the entire property
• Dusting, washing floors, ceilings and walls
• Restoration of kitchen, bathroom and living areas
• Discreet intervention, unmarked vehicles

Intervention in Co-ownerships — Common Areas

When a building occupant lives in a hoarding disorder situation, odours, pests and health risks affect the entire co-ownership. Défi Clean intervenes at the request of the managing agent to secure common areas and coordinate intervention in the affected property, in liaison with social services if necessary.

• Disinfection and odour treatment in common areas
• Pest control for the entire co-ownership
• Intervention in the hoarding disorder property with agreement or official notice
• Intervention report for the managing agent

Property Restoration After Hoarding Disorder — Individuals and Families

After clearance, a complete property restoration allows the person to return to a healthy environment. We carry out a thorough clean of each room, treatment of degraded surfaces, elimination of persistent odours and biocide disinfection where necessary.

• Cleaning and restoration of floors, walls and ceilings
• Anti-odour treatment and biocide disinfection
• Deep cleaning of kitchen, bathroom and sanitary facilities
