Most Hoarding Calls in Augusta Come From Outside the Home
The people who reach out to us about hoarding in Augusta are usually not the person whose home it is. Adult children driving in from out of town to handle an aging parent's home in Summerville, the Hill, or Harrisburg. Landlords ending long-term leases in apartment buildings along Walton Way and Wrightsboro Road. Property managers handling military-tied rental property turning over near Fort Eisenhower. Estate executors working through probate on homes that have been with the same family for generations. The work gets done with regard for the person whose home it has been.
Almost every one of these calls arrives with a deadline already on the calendar. An Augusta-Richmond County code compliance notice. A property sale closing on a fixed date. An estate that needs to settle. A base housing turnover scheduled around a permanent change of station. A family member preparing for assisted care. Getting us involved earlier in that timeline keeps more options open for how the work proceeds.
Our Step-by-Step Hoarding Cleanup Process
Home Assessment
A technician visits the property, gauges the scope of the situation, and talks through goals with the family or owner.
Sort and Save
Items the homeowner wants to keep are identified and set aside before any removal begins, including documents, photos, and valuables.
Material Hauling
Trash, debris, and unwanted contents are loaded out of the home and disposed of through approved local waste channels.
Surface Cleaning
Floors, walls, counters, and fixtures get washed, scrubbed, and treated to remove residue left behind by long-term accumulation.
Pest and Odor Treatment
If infestations or strong odors are present, the home is treated with appropriate pesticides and air-scrubbing equipment.
Final Walkthrough
The property is walked through with the homeowner or landlord, and a written summary closes out the job.
How an Augusta Hoarded Home Gets Cleared
The walk-through happens before any heavy work moves. Our lead goes through the property with the family member, landlord, or property representative handling the situation. Items being preserved, paperwork, family photographs, jewelry, and anything carrying monetary or sentimental weight, are pulled out at the start of the job, organized into marked bins, and held either off-site or in a clean staging area our crew sets up at the property. The wider removal phase begins only once the family or property representative has confirmed everything important has been pulled.
From there, the work shifts to handling what has been accumulating underneath the visible layers. Our technicians wear heavy-duty respirators, cut-resistant gloves, and reinforced boots because long-accumulated Augusta homes commonly surface sharps, dried biological matter, animal waste, and active pest activity beneath the surface piles. Air filtration runs continuously to manage the dust load. After the volume has been removed, the surfaces underneath are treated using EPA-registered disinfectants alongside enzymatic cleaning chemistry. For Augusta properties where summer humidity has driven mold growth in airflow-restricted spaces, antifungal treatment is added to the protocol. Active pest issues get turned over to a licensed Georgia pest contractor before remediation continues.

Still Have Questions?
Is hoarding cleanup the same as junk removal?
No. Hoarding cleanup includes sorting, decontamination, pest treatment, and biohazard handling, none of which are part of standard junk hauling. The work is closer to a full remediation than a cleanout.
Will the homeowner be involved during the cleanup?
That's up to them. Some homeowners prefer to be present and make decisions as the team works, while others step away entirely. A family member or representative can also be the point of contact.
What if there are pets, animals, or signs of infestation?
Our crews are equipped to handle homes with active or past infestations, including rodent and insect issues. Animals still on-site are coordinated with a local shelter or rescue if no other plan is in place.
Will neighbors or anyone else know what's going on?
Discretion is part of the work. Trucks arrive without biohazard branding, crews wear plain uniforms, and removal happens as quietly as possible to keep the situation private.
