Hoarding Cleanup Services in Florida
Transforming Chaos into Comfort with Professional Hoarding Cleanup Services.
Compassionate, Professional Hoarding Cleanup
Hoarding situations are sensitive by nature. Whether you’re arranging services for yourself, a family member, or a property in your care, United Restoration approaches every hoarding cleanup with discretion, dignity, and genuine care for the people involved.
Our certified technicians are trained not just in the technical aspects of hoarding cleanup, but in the human side of it as well. We understand that behind every cluttered space is a story that deserves to be treated with respect.
What Is Hoarding Cleanup?
Hoarding cleanup involves the safe removal, sorting, and disposal of accumulated items in a living or commercial space, along with thorough cleaning, sanitization, and in many cases biohazard remediation of the affected areas. Hoarding environments often present serious health and safety risks including mold growth, pest infestation, structural damage, fire hazards, and biohazardous contamination that require professional handling.
Why Do People Hoard Things?
Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition affecting an estimated 2 to 6 percent of the population. It is not a lifestyle choice or a reflection of a person’s character. Family members and property managers seeking cleanup services often act on behalf of a loved one who may not fully recognize the risks their environment poses.
United Restoration’s team works with sensitivity and without judgment. We strongly encourage families to also work with a licensed mental health professional or social worker during the process to support the individual involved. Our role is to restore the physical environment — a therapist or counselor can provide the emotional support that makes lasting change possible.

Common Situations We Handle
Hoarding situations arise from many different circumstances; there is no single path that leads a family, property owner, or professional to make this call. What these situations share is the need for a team that can assess what’s there, work through it systematically, and handle whatever conditions are present safely and without judgment.
Taking the first step is often the hardest part. Whether you’re ready to move forward today or just trying to understand your options, a confidential conversation with our team costs nothing. Call United Restoration and we’ll walk you through what to expect from start to finish.
All inspections are performed by IICRC-certified technicians
Is It Time to Call a Professional Hoarding Cleanup Service?

If any of these conditions are present, contact our certified team for a confidential, no-obligation assessment.

What Our Hoarding Cleanup Process Includes
No two hoarding situations are identical in scale, content, or the underlying conditions present in the property. Our process is designed to be thorough and methodical while remaining flexible enough to adapt to what we actually find — and compassionate enough to account for the people involved at every step.
Confidential Assessment
We begin with a private walkthrough of the property to evaluate the extent of the cleanup needed, identify any biohazard or structural concerns, and develop a customized plan. All assessments are discreet.
Item Sorting and Salvage
Not everything goes. Our team works with you to sort items into categories: keep, donate, discard. We handle this process with patience and without pressure. Any items of potential value are flagged before removal.
Debris and Junk Removal
We safely remove and properly dispose of accumulated clutter, furniture, trash, and other materials in accordance with local regulations.
Biohazard Remediation (If Needed)
Many hoarding situations involve biohazardous materials such as animal waste, decomposition, or sewage. Our certified biohazard technicians handle these safely, using proper PPE and ensuring EPA-compliant disposal.
Deep Cleaning and Sanitization
Once the space is cleared, we perform a thorough deep clean of all surfaces, including floors, walls, and fixtures. We use hospital-grade disinfectants and odor-elimination treatments.
Mold and Moisture Assessment
Hoarding environments frequently develop hidden mold from moisture trapped beneath clutter. We assess for mold and moisture damage and address any remediation needs.
Restoration and Repairs
If the property requires structural repairs, flooring replacement, or further restoration work following cleanup, our construction restoration team can handle the full scope of work.

Who We Serve
Hoarding cleanup situations come to us through many different paths, a family member acting on behalf of a loved one, a property manager dealing with a difficult tenant situation, or a landlord preparing a unit for re-occupancy after years of accumulation. Whatever the circumstances, United Restoration handles every engagement with the same level of professionalism and confidentiality.
Regardless of how you came to need this service, our team is here to help move things forward; practically, professionally, and without judgment.
Does Insurance Cover Hoarding Cleanup?
Coverage varies depending on your policy and the extent of damage caused by the hoarding condition. In cases where the property has sustained water damage, mold, or structural damage as a result of the hoarding environment, those components are often covered under a standard homeowners or landlord policy. United Restoration works directly with insurance adjusters and provides full documentation using Xactimate to support your claim.
Certified Safety & Compliance Standards
United Restoration is an IICRC Certified Firm, meeting the highest standards for water damage restoration, safety, and documentation. Every technician follows OSHA and EPA protocols on every job site. Our certification means your restoration is performed to a standard your insurance provider recognizes and trusts — reducing disputes and speeding up claim approval.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about emergency response, insurance, and our hoarding cleanup process in Florida. If you need help now, call (844) 979-8500.
We follow the lead of the property owner or the family member coordinating the cleanup. Nothing is discarded without a sorting process first — our team works through items methodically, separating what will be kept, donated, or removed. We never make unilateral decisions about what stays and what goes. If the individual affected is present and able to participate, we work at a pace that respects their involvement. If they are not, we coordinate closely with whoever is acting on their behalf.
It depends on your policy and the specific conditions present. Standard hoarding cleanup itself is often not covered, but the damage caused by the hoarding environment frequently is — including water damage, mold remediation, structural repairs, and biohazard remediation. United Restoration works directly with insurance adjusters and provides full Xactimate documentation to ensure every covered component of the cleanup and restoration is properly included in your claim.
Yes. United Restoration treats every hoarding cleanup with complete discretion. Our team arrives in unmarked vehicles when requested, we don’t discuss client situations outside of the project team, and we conduct all work professionally and without drawing unnecessary attention to the property. We understand that these situations are deeply personal and we handle them accordingly.
Timeline depends entirely on the size of the property and the severity of the accumulation. A single-room situation may be resolved in one day. A full home with years of accumulation, biohazard conditions, and structural damage may take several days to a week or more. We provide a realistic timeline estimate during the initial assessment and keep you informed throughout the process. We don’t rush the sorting phase — that part of the process deserves the time it takes.
This is common in hoarding environments and something our team is fully certified to handle. Biohazardous materials — including animal waste, sewage, decomposition, and mold — require specific containment, removal, and disposal protocols that go beyond standard cleanup. United Restoration’s biohazard-certified technicians manage these conditions safely using proper PPE and EPA-compliant disposal methods, and we coordinate the biohazard remediation alongside the broader cleanup so the project moves forward as one integrated process rather than two separate engagements.
