Nationally, hoarding cleanup runs $1,500 to $5,000 for a typical home; severe cases run $10,000 to $25,000. Prices in Texas follow local labor and landfill fees. Companies quote by the day or by the truckload plus disposal, with a surcharge for biohazard. Get a written estimate after a walk-through; do not accept a phone price for more than one room. The 60 companys listed here will each give an estimate, so ask two.
Usually not for hoarding on its own. Most policies exclude damage from neglect. Insurance often does cover the biohazard portion after a death, and sometimes covers damage from a fire, burst pipe or animal infestation that the clutter made worse. For an unattended death, ask the company whether it bills the insurer directly; many biohazard firms do. Get the claim number before work starts.
Yes, and with hoarding it usually should. Experienced crews sort with the resident, set a "keep" area, and work at a pace the person can tolerate; clearing a home behind someone's back is the fastest way to make the hoarding worse. If Adult Protective Services or a case manager is involved, tell the company so they can coordinate.
In Texas, medical waste transport is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Hoarding and estate cleanouts themselves are not licensed; check insurance and how the company disposes of sharps and contaminated materials. Beyond state rules, look for OSHA bloodborne-pathogen training and, for trauma and death scenes, ABRA membership or IICRC certification. Certifications shown on a listing here were entered by the company owner.
Sorting (keep, donate, recycle, trash), removal and hauling, disposal fees, and a basic clean of the emptied rooms. Deep cleaning, deodorizing, pest treatment, carpet removal and repairs are usually separate lines. Ask whether the crew will look for documents, cash, jewelry and photos before anything goes in the truck; say so up front and expect to pay for the extra hours.
Junk removal hauls what you point at. Hoarding cleanup adds sorting with the resident, biohazard handling, protective gear, legal disposal of contaminated material, and a final clean. Many junk haulers now advertise hoarding cleanup; the test is whether they can explain how they work with the resident and where sharps, animal waste and mold go.
The Clutter-Hoarding Scale runs from level 1 (clutter, all doors and stairs usable, no odor) to level 5 (structural damage, human or animal waste, rooms unusable). Levels 1–2 are often a one-day job under $2,000. Level 3 adds visible clutter outside, one unusable room and some odor, typically $3,000–$6,000. Levels 4–5 need protective gear, biohazard disposal and sometimes repairs, and run $8,000–$25,000 or more.
Sometimes. Start with the county Area Agency on Aging or Adult Protective Services in Texas; several run hoarding task forces and can fund or arrange a cleanup for an older or disabled resident. Code enforcement can sometimes order and pay for an abatement, though that comes with a lien. Charities such as Catholic Charities and local senior services occasionally help. Companies on this page may offer payment plans; ask.
