Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition. A cleanout team does not diagnose anyone and treats every home and every person with respect.

How do you clean out a hoarder's house?

Who pays for a hoarder house cleanout?

Usually the owner. For an estate, the estate pays or the cost comes from the sale of the house. Family members sometimes share it. In a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant.
