The Range of Hoarding Calls Our Colorado Springs Crews Handle
The hoarding work our Colorado Springs crews take on falls into a few recurring shapes. Adult children flying in to handle an aging parent's home in Patty Jewett, Skyway, or Old Colorado City and discovering the scale of the accumulation only after they cross the threshold. Property managers along the Powers corridor and through the airport-corridor apartment stock flagging units after long-term tenants have moved on. Military families dealing with a base housing situation that has built up underneath the surface. The person whose home it has been deserves to be treated with respect, and that is how our crews approach the work.
The deadlines on these calls tend to be specific. A City of Colorado Springs code compliance notice. A base housing turnover scheduled around a permanent change of station. A property sale closing on a fixed date. An estate working through probate. A family member transitioning into assisted care. The earlier in the timeline we are involved, the more options remain about 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 a Hoarded Colorado Springs Property Gets Cleared
The first step is a walk-through with the family or property representative. Before any general removal begins, what stays gets identified and pulled out. Documents, photographs, jewelry, items carrying monetary or sentimental weight come out first, sorted into labeled bins, and stored either off-site or in a clean staging area we set up at the property. The family or operator signs off on the keep pile before anything else moves.
The work that follows is shaped by what these properties actually contain. P100 respirators, cut-resistant gloves, and reinforced footwear protect against the sharps, dried biological material, animal waste, and pest activity that show up under years of accumulation. HEPA filtration runs continuously during active removal to manage the dust load, which in Colorado Springs can be considerable given the dry climate and the accumulated particulate in long-closed spaces. After the bulk is cleared, EPA-registered disinfectants and enzymatic cleaners treat the surfaces underneath. Active pest infestations get turned over to a licensed Colorado 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.
