Five Levels of Hoarding

The defining characteristic for hoarding is when the obsessive, compulsive behavior then causes the person to make unhealthy and irrational decisions especially when it comes to the removal of items collected. Just the notion of throwing out any of the collected items will cause the hoarder to become distressed and lead them to claim that they can repair the items, or clean up the clutter themselves when they knowingly can’t. 

 

Hoarding is an extreme psychological condition which is very different from a person who is just messy. In the worst of cases, hoarders can be living in squalor, under incredibly dangerous  conditions with major fire hazards, and even more. Understanding the five levels of hoarding can assist you in also understanding the plan of action needed for the hoarding cleanup.

 

Level One: Clutter is not excessive, all doors and stairways are accessible, there are no odors, and the home is considered safe and sanitary. Plumbing is in order and no signs of mold.

Level Two: Clutter inhabits two or more rooms and begins to impact the person’s daily life. Intervention at this stage can prevent progression.

Level Three: Clutter will start to build up outside of the home. At least one room, such as the bedroom or bathroom will also be unusable at this point. The piles of objects and clothing, together with the spills and unsanitary conditions will begin to pose a health hazard in this stage.

Level Four: Sewer backup, hazardous electrical wiring, flea infestation, rotting food on counters, lice on bedding, and pet damage to home. Exits are blocked off and navigating through rooms is near impossible.

Level Five: Pet capacity will exceed the legal limit. Homes will sustain structural damage, and become extremely hazardous. Hoarders in this category may collect their urine into bottles that do not get discarded, and human feces will accumulate on the floor. Hoarders at this level often find themselves in severe legal trouble, from animal abuse charges to facing eviction.

 

At any level, what differentiates a hoarding situation from just mere clutter is whether or not it affects the ability for the person to function in a normal, safe, and healthy way. Our hoarding cleanup team of Manayunk is here to help you in your time of need. Whether you devise a plan of action on your own, or need us to do so, we will efficiently handle the clutter and deep cleaning while also securing any belongings you see fit. For assistance with your hoarding cleanup job, call the hoarding cleanup professionals at Mold Solutions & Inspections.

These guys are great. Joe went above and beyond with talking through my specific situation. Mike did the actual mold inspection and he was great too - prompt, knowledgeable, and fast. I had the report in my inbox 2 days later. Highly recommend

Joe and his team were great to work with - Joe responded to all my questions - his team was very organized and diligent and did a great job addressing my mold issues. They removed wallboard and vanity. Joe also recommended a very good person to handle the replacement for the wallboard
How could I possibly express in words my gratitude to Joe, Mike and the entire team at MSI?! When to our horror, water damage brought mold to our home, Joe and the team at MSI came highly recommended from a neighbor and I will be forever grateful. From the first phone call until the insurance claim was processed and the remediation paid for, Joe was kind, informative, and incredibly helpful at connecting us to the other resources (a public adjuster, duct cleaning, etc.) we would need to take care of our home. They got to us quickly and our job was quite extensive. The team was highly professional, communicative, and efficient. They took care of the mold and kept us safe and informed every step of the way. Should you ever need mold remediation work done, MSI is the only team I would call!

I recently worked with Mold Solutions and Inspections following a water loss insurance claim, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Joe was incredibly helpful, taking the time to explain every step of the process and providing support from start to finish. The entire team was punctual, professional, respectful, and kept the work area clean throughout the project. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer service made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. I've already recommended them to a coworker and would highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a water loss or insurance claim.

Joe and his team at MSI were fantastic! They helped us clear up a water damage issue in our basement in Point Breeze. The guys who came buy were efficient and professional. Joe himself has been great, even going above and beyond to provide guidance and recommendations for next steps after his job was done. I highly recommend this company!

We’ve lived in our home for almost 20 years and have (unfortunately) needed MSI’s services four different times. Each time, Joe and his team have been outstanding. From the first phone call to the final follow‑up, every step is handled with genuine friendliness and true professionalism. Joe even remembered us after more than a decade between jobs.

In a time when it can be hard to get service providers to even call you back, MSI is a real standout. No one wants to deal with water damage or mold, but knowing this team is out there doing high‑quality, reliable work has been a game changer for us as homeowners.

Fast, Reliable and Straight to the Point! I called for a mold inspection quote and within minutes, Joe returned my call and scheduled my inspection. Mike was able to come out the next day, and the tests took no time at all. After the tests, Joe reviewed the results with me and clearly answered my questions about them. I appreciate their professionalism, and I highly recommend MSI if you need a mold inspection.
Joe and his team were excellent. Immediately responded and started the job within 24 hours. Extremely communicatative; explained everything in detail.

These guys have 5 stars for a reason. We had an issue with bathroom mold that needed to be treated and I had to cancel after setting a date. Joe was understanding, communicative, and helpful along the way. Once we rescheduled, the team was full of professionals that diligently remediated the affected area and cleaned up everything nicer than when they first arrived. I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Joe arrived on time, entertained me with tales of traditional deep South Philly, where up means down (south) and down means up (north) -- or maybe vice versa? -- and educated me unsurprisingly on mold (you can't just buy the machine that tests for it, for example, you need certification). And he taught me something I will never forget about footwear (won't share this important and memorable lesson here, however). Generally, a pleasant, efficient process to ensure that some roof leak damage hadn't developed into something nasty/pathological. He called to discuss the results he shared via email a few days after the testing and explained everything clearly. Fully confident in his expertise -- and will call again without hesitation if it comes down to it.

Joe is the absolute best. We needed to find someone to help test for mold during our inspection process. Joe and his team provided exceptional and timely service. Joe’s candor and willingness to talk you through the issues is exactly what we needed as first time home buyers. We 100% recommend MSI.

I recently purchased by first home and discovered there was mold in the crawl space. I closed on this home Friday of one week and had roommates moving in the very next Thursday. Joe, the owner of MSI, came out on Saturday, gave me a quote, and MSI was able to start on that Monday and get the job done in time! Joe is an amazing person that carries himself in a very disciplined and professional way, and he stands behind his company's work! The crew was equally as amazing and professional. Very kind, respectful, and a thorough job done top to bottom. After the job was completed, Joe was kind enough to explain to me how to set up my dehumidifier in my crawl space so the mold has a snowball's chance in hell of coming back. MSI is an amazing company, a quality brand, and a pleasure to interact with. Should the need arise, they'll be hearing from me again for more business! Thank you MSI!

I can’t say enough good things about MSI and especially Joe, the owner. From the very first phone call, he was incredibly kind and understanding of my anxiety about having mold in our home with an 8-month-old baby. I reached out with a lot of questions (probably more than most!) and Joe was always patient and never made me feel like I was bothering him.

They were able to start the remediation within a week of contacting them, which gave us huge peace of mind. The team was professional, respectful of our home, and explained what they were doing each step of the way. Knowing our baby’s health and safety were a priority to them made such a difference.

Should we need further remediation, we will definitely continue using them. I’m so grateful we found MSI and would recommend them to anyone who needs mold remediation.

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!

I can't recommend enough - Joe the owner was great at explaining everything in detail over the phone and really took extra time to make sure he was giving the best service possible.
In addition to top notch customer service they were quick, clean, careful and very fairly priced. HIGHLY recommended if you have any mold issues.

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.
