Hoarding Cleanup Calls in Boise Come From All Across the City
The hoarding work our Boise crews handle splits across recurring patterns. Long-time homeowners in the North End, East End, and through the Bench where accumulation has built up across decades. Adult children of older homeowners who have come back to handle a parent's house in Collister, Hyde Park, or the East End. Property managers in the apartment corridors downtown and along Vista, Fairview, and Overland flagging units after long-term tenants have moved on. HOAs in the newer master-planned communities through West Boise taking enforcement actions on properties where the conditions inside have built up behind a normal exterior. Throughout the job, our crews stay mindful of the person who lived in the home.
These calls almost always carry a deadline already on the calendar. A City of Boise code compliance notice. A property sale in escrow. An HOA enforcement action. An estate working through probate. A family member preparing for assisted care. The earlier in the timeline we are involved, the more options remain for how the work proceeds and what gets prioritized along the way.
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.
Walking Through the Home With You
The walk-through with the family or property representative is the first step on every job. Before any general removal begins, what stays gets identified and pulled. Documents, photos, jewelry, and items of monetary or sentimental value are pulled out first, sorted into labeled bins, and stored either off-site or in a clean staging area we set up on the property. The family approves the keep pile before anything else moves.
After that, the work shifts to what is buried under the visible accumulation. P100 respirators, cut-resistant gloves, and reinforced footwear handle the sharps, dried biological residue, animal waste, and pest activity that turn up under years of accumulation. HEPA filtration runs during active removal to manage dust, which in Boise's dry climate tends to be heavier in long-closed spaces than property owners often expect. After the bulk has been cleared, EPA-registered disinfectants and enzymatic cleaners take care of the surfaces underneath. Active pest situations get handed off to a licensed Idaho pest contractor before remediation moves to closeout.

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.
