That depends on the plan. Some jobs end broom-clean, and others include deep cleaning, disinfecting and odor treatment. Ask the team to say exactly what the job covers before work starts.
Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition. A cleanout team does not diagnose anyone and treats every home and every person with respect.
It carries real hazards, such as unstable piles, sharp objects, droppings and mold. Crews use protective gear and follow worker safety rules, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, if blood or sharps are found.
A small area may take a day, while a full house with heavy buildup often takes several days or longer. Access, volume, hazards and the level of cleaning all change the timeline. The team can estimate after a walk-through.
Usually the owner. For an estate, the estate pays or the cost comes from the sale of the house. Family members sometimes share it. In a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant.
