What Is Hoarding?
Hoarding is actually a debilitating mental illness that requires intervention, but it’s amazing how common this problem is, especially among seniors, or those who have been living alone in a home for a long period of time. In fact, there is currently a series on television about these unfortunate individuals who are living in deplorable situations, and the living conditions it depicts are indeed grim.

When you are dealing with a hoarder’s home – you are dealing with a home that is literally crammed with personal belongings to the point where it’s impossible to walk through. There are floor to ceiling stacks of papers or books, piles of litter, dirty dishes, rotting food, mounds of clothes, and countless other personal possessions. This kind of home inevitably falls into disrepair because the hoarder is fearful of strangers entering the house or grounds to fix anything. A hoarder’s home can even get to the point where its a health hazard, both inside and out.
