When the home is no longer safe
Hoarding cleanup in Athens
A packed home becomes a health problem when waste, spoiled food or pests are part of it. A biohazard company handles that part safely and at a pace the person living there can accept.

When it counts as a biohazard
- Animal or human waste on floors or furniture.
- Spoiled food, insects or rodents.
- A death or a medical event in the home.
- Mold from leaks that have gone unrepaired.
If none of these apply, a regular clear-out service may be what you need. The company can tell you on the phone.
Going about it kindly
If the person is still living there, involve them. Ask the company how it agrees in advance what is kept, what is searched for (papers, cash, medicines, keepsakes) and what goes.
Ask too whether the work can be done in stages, and whether rooms can be finished one at a time so part of the home is usable sooner.
Renters and landlords
When the home is rented, the landlord usually has to be part of the plan. Our page for landlords covers that side.

When you are ready
One call, no pressure
You can call before you have decided anything. Ask what the work involves, how long it may take and what the company needs from you.
Talk it through first
Say what happened and where, and whether the police or the coroner have finished. The company will explain what it would do and what affects the cost. Nothing is agreed until you say yes.
