Hoarding Level 1: The following conditions are considered safe and sanitary: all doors and  stairways accessible, light clutter, no smells, and no more than three locations with animal  waste. 

Hoarding Level 2: Dirty food prep surfaces, noticeable pet waste on the floors, garbage bins  that are overflowing, signs of mildew in kitchens and bathrooms, light smells, 2 or more rooms  inhabited by clutter, over 6 months of a malfunctioning heating, cooling, or ventilation system,  and at least one blocked exit. 

Hoarding Level 3: Clutter becomes a problem inside and outside of the house at hoarding level  3. There are some major problems, such as structural damage, smells that are very strong, and  rooms becoming entirely impossible to use. 

Hoarding Level 4: A number of rooms are barely livable, mold and mildew are noticeably  present throughout the home, animal waste is in many places on the floor, kitchens and  bathrooms are almost unusable, and sewer issues along with other extreme problems are  apparent. Also, social problems become very noticeable at level 4 hoarding. 

Hoarding Level 5: This level of hoarding is the most extreme. There is a substantial amount of  structural damage around the premises, and foul odors are uncontrolled. Basic needs like  electricity and running water are not functioning, and the property needs severe restoration to  become safely inhabitable again. Pests are present, and trash makes it very difficult to access  certain areas of the home.

Our Hoarding Cleanup Process:

The goal of every hoarding cleanup job in Doylestown for us is to bring the home back to a safe, clean, and healthy environment. Our hoarding cleanup team in Doylestown is specially trained in not only dealing with decluttering a home but also identifying and remediating any sources of water damage and mold growth. We keep an open level of communication with all parties involved in the hoarding cleanup process and separate any potential valuables in the process. Our hoarding and cleanup approach is as follows:

Assessment:

Evaluating the conditions of the space and safety concerns is the first step in building a remediation scope.

Estimate

This step gives a detailed list of what services will be performed and the final cost associated with the cleanup.

Sorting

We will sort through the items, ensuring not to throw away any valuables and which items may be donated aside from those that will be discarded.

Removal

The items marked as trash will then be placed either into an on-site dumpster or into a vehicle for disposal.

Cleaning

The structure will then be cleaned, sanitized, and brought back to a suitable condition for living.

Restoration

We will have your property ready for reconstruction so you can get back to living or business in a quick, safe, and cost-efficient manner.

The length of time each job takes varies depending on the extent of clutter and damage. The size of the home and several other factors, like distance to a dumpster or even if a dumpster can be used, stairs, etc., also play a key role in determining the amount of time needed for any hoarding cleanup job. Hoarding cleanup is not a simple in-and-out process, nor is it just throwing away “junk.” This can be a very stressful and emotional project that requires empathy and a level of care that most companies cannot deliver or were never exposed to. At MSI, we’ve completed hundreds of hoarding cleanup jobs in Doylestown and are the preferred choice for several insurance agencies and even townships with homing programs. If you or a family member suffers from hoarding conditions and are in need of assistance, trust our hoarding cleanup team to have you restore your home in a quick, safe, and cost-efficient manner.

I can't recommend MSI highly enough. Joe responded promptly to my mold testing request and sent out his team the day of. It only took a few days to receive the results via email, and he helped me interpret them over the phone. Throughout the process he was very reachable by email, phone, and text. Exceptional service and team - thank you Joe!

Joe is amazing. He is easily the most helpful and reliable person I've used for any kind of home services. He responds quickly to all my questions and goes above and beyond to help. I have a very old stone basement that is prone to water and humidity issues and I'm very grateful that I have Joe to help me out with it. I can't recommend him and MSI enough.

After Ida left our basement floor soaked I called several businesses to try to get the remediation process started before the mold went out of control. Joe, the owner of MSI, called me back within the hour, explained that (understandably) they were very busy, but did arrange for someone to assess the damage that day. Joe kept in communication with me, promised he'd get me on the schedule within a couple of days, and did so. Joe and his team were professional, up-front and thorough. The service from MSI was exceptional. There are not many businesses that are still run this way.

Joe is the owner and truly cares about the quality of his work. Joe is professional, punctual, knowledgeable, honest, fair. Joe showed up on time and educated me on the whole process as he performed it. Joe personally called me when the results were in and explained the results. Thank goodness no mold was detected! I (and my friends and family) will be using MSI for all our mold issue!

I have called on Joe and his team at MSI three times over the past 7 years. Each time, they were prompt to respond, extremely professional, friendly, quick and thorough. This last time we had a water leak from our third floor bathroom that seeped down to our first floor kitchen. It actually was a great relief in the back of my mind to know that I already had a great contractor in mind. I emailed Joe at 4 am on a Sunday morning and he was on the phone with me by 10 am. He squeezed me into his calendar even though he was already booked solid from a hurricane that had blown through our region the previous week. He is just one of those people who you want to have on your speed dial as a homeowner, even if you hope never to have to use his services. Highly recommend him.
