Hoarding Cleanup Services — Compassionate, Safe, Professional
What Are Hoarding Cleaning & Decluttering Services?
Hoarding cleanup services are more than just “cleaning.” It’s a careful process designed to remove excessive belongings, address health hazards, and restore a safe living environment. Our decluttering services help families, seniors, landlords, and individuals in Vancouver who are struggling with overwhelming clutter.
Hoarding situations are often misunderstood. Many people view them with curiosity or disbelief, asking, “How could someone let it get this bad?”
Hoarding is a complex issue that often involves mental health challenges, emotional attachment, and long-term behavioral patterns. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, hoarding disorder affects daily functioning and can require professional intervention.
It deserves empathy — not judgement. At 1st Hoarding Clean Up, we approach every project with compassion, discretion, and professionalism. Whether you’re helping a loved one or seeking help for yourself, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Hoarding cleanup isn’t just a deep clean — it’s a specialized process that often requires protective gear, proper equipment, and trained professionals.

Safety, health, and respectful handling of personal belongings are all top priorities in this kind of cleanup.
