Only about 5% of homes in Ventura County are vacant, so most cleanouts here involve a home that someone still owns or is about to sell. About 18% of residents in Santa Susana are sixty-five or older, so many cleanouts here follow a move to care or the passing of a long-time homeowner.

- Trash removal, including bagged waste, spoiled food and damaged or soiled items

Questions Families in Santa Susana, CA Ask About Clearing a Hoarder House
What if the resident is still living in the house?
Cleanout then becomes a shared project. The resident decides what is kept, the pace is set together and nothing is hauled without agreement. Support from a doctor, counselor or local group can help the progress last.
What if pests or mold are found during the cleanout?
The crew works with added protection and removes affected materials. Pest control and mold remediation are separate trades, and the team can say when they are needed so you can plan.
What is a hoarder house cleanout?
A hoarder house cleanout is the full clearing of a home filled with belongings, followed by cleaning. A team sorts items, sets aside valuables and papers, hauls away what is released and cleans the emptied rooms.
How do you clean out a hoarder's house?
Plan, sort, remove and clean, in that order. Gather valuables and papers first, clear exits and hazards, then empty room by room into keep, donate, recycle and discard groups. You can get a cleanout team for the heavy lifting and a deep clean to finish.
Can the cleanout happen before a sale or a rental turnover?
Yes. Cleanouts are often scheduled before a listing, an inspection, a closing or a new tenant. Tell the team about the date early so the plan can fit it.
Does the resident have to agree to the cleanout?
When the resident is living in the home, yes, and hoarding cleanups hold up best with their agreement. Clearing without it can cause distress and the home often fills again. After a move or a death, the owner or estate decides.
