Questions Families in Chalmette, LA Ask About Clearing a Hoarder House
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.
What comes after the cleanout?
Repairs, pest control or a final deep clean, depending on what the crew found. The team passes along notes on damage so the owner can plan. For an occupied home, a plan for upkeep and support helps keep the rooms clear.
Can a cleanout team handle a garage, shed or storage unit too?

Can the team work for an executor, landlord or real estate agent?
Yes. Cleanouts are often arranged by executors, landlords, property managers and agents. The team follows their access instructions and can note the condition of the property for their records.
