About 1st Hoarding Clean Up

1st Hoarding Clean Up was founded by Brian Woronuik, also the founder of 1st Trauma Scene Clean Up and 1st Pest Control, in 2001 to provide compassionate help for those with Obsessive Compulsive Hoarding Disorder and their families. When your living environment becomes too difficult to manage on your own, we can help you regain control of your life.

As hoarding cleanup specialists in Vancouver, we have been fortunate to help many people restore their homes and lives. Whether you live in a studio apartment or a three-story mansion, we will find a logical and practical solution for all of your needs, helping you to reclaim your space.

How Our Hoarding Cleanup Service Works

Hoarding cleanup and decluttering services in Richmond

It is our priority to make you feel safe and taken care of during this process. We don’t simply enter your premises and begin to throw out things in your home. We will make a plan with you to declutter your home so there are no surprises along the way. Our understanding of hoarding situations means you can trust us to take care of you and your possessions.

Our staff are trained in various compulsive hoarding disorders and know how to keep you at ease while providing best-in-class cleaning services. For added privacy, our company vehicles are all unmarked, assuring your neighbours are not aware of or alarmed by our presence.

We understand that hoarding is a symptom of an underlying issue. Severe clutter can cause undue embarrassment and shame, but we’ve helped many different people and nothing will surprise us. We want to make your situation healthier while remaining non-judgmental and caring.

The Origin of 1st Hoarding Clean Up: A Compassionate Response to Trauma

1st Hoarding Clean Up was created as an extension of 1st Trauma Scene Cleanup, designed specifically to address the needs of individuals who have experienced trauma and are struggling with hoarding issues. Our founders recognized that those facing hoarding challenges often endure significant psychological burdens, stemming from past traumatic events. 

By establishing 1st Hoarding Clean Up, we aim to provide a comprehensive service that combines our expertise in trauma-informed care with practical cleanup solutions. Our goal is to not only restore living spaces but also to help clients reclaim their lives and achieve a sense of peace and stability in their environments. Through this mission, we support individuals on their journey to healing and recovery.

A Message from our Founder

“We don’t view anyone’s things as junk to be removed. We understand that there’s a reason you have everything and that some things are more difficult to part with than others. That’s why we work closely with our customers. It’s because of the personal nature of our work that our people are so important. The 1st Hoarding Clean Up network is made up of top professionals you can trust to be a part of your family as we do our job.” – Brian Woronuik.
