Hoarder Cleanup & Hoarding Cleaning in Oak Ridge, TN

We’ve likely all been involved in a large cleanup effort for a friend or family member in Oak Ridge, TN, but those usually pale in comparison to hoarding cleanup or estate clean outs. These situations call for more experience and, in some cases, specialized cleaning, which is where Bio Solutions Tennessee excels. Collecting things is a nice hobby many enjoy, but hoarding takes this concept to a new extreme and often involves keeping things that are no longer valuable. This accumulation makes the living situation more hazardous to anyone who enters the space, and the hoarding location can harbor other issues like deceased pets, rotting food, and worse. Contact us whenever you have a hoarding cleanup situation so that you can have the help you and they need.

People have a tendency to accumulate things without getting rid of them, and then when they pass on, the family is left having to deal with all of these things. It is overwhelming, to be sure, and what is needed is some organization to help deal with it all. Part of the process of an estate clean out is to determine what has value beyond sentimental and familial, and then separate those items from the trash and deal with both accordingly. Our team can help go through a large estate quickly, partly due to the number of people we bring and partly because we have no partiality to the items in the estate.

Not everything a hoarder has is immediately garbage, but it takes skill and patience to go through everything and put it into three piles: sell/donate, keep, or throw away. While the psychological aspect of hoarding needs to be addressed by a mental health professional, we can help with the physical part and ensure the space is safe again. In some cases, we need to use our specialized training and skills to decontaminate and deodorize an area.

Hoarding still has a stigma attached to it for many in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, so we work discreetly with clients. Bio Solutions Tennessee will take the time to help sort through everything, making sure that safety is paramount for all involved. It isn’t uncommon for us to have to do some remodeling of spaces after the decontamination and biohazards are removed, along with odor neutralization. Most people are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things that need to be addressed, but our team can help by handling the situation quickly.

Cleaning up a property that was owned by a hoarder or a large estate is intimidating, but our team is ready to take on the task. In October 1942, the United States Army Corps of Engineers began acquiring approximately 59,000 acres in the Oak Ridge area for the Manhattan Project. The location and low population helped keep the town a secret, though the settlement grew from 3,000 to 3,750 in 1942 to about 75,000 by 1945. Two years after World War II ended, Oak Ridge was shifted to civilian control, under the authority of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. Contact us today to learn more about hoarding cleaning.
