Hoarding Clean Up Services
Serving San Diego, Southern Orange, Riverside, and Imperial Counties
The knowledge of working with hoarders has been passed on for generations.
Keith Davis, his son Joe, and staff have been cleaning up hoarding situations in Southern California for decades.
We know that hoarding not only affects the lives of the hoarder, but it also impacts family members, landlords, property owners, and neighbors. Most situations need professional help to rectify. Some hoarders come forward on their own, but most don’t. Many times someone steps in and helps initiate the clean-up process.
Our team will remove all waste, sterilize the area, and return the property to a normal condition.

Most people that have become hoarders feel their possessions hold more value than they really do. Or they may attach a sentimental value to an item that has no true meaning or sentiment, feel it’s irreplaceable, or is too good of a “deal” or “bargain” to throw away.
Hoarding is most associated with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and depression. This disorder can either be a stand-alone issue or present a symptom of another disorder.
