Hoarding is a mental health disorder characterized by an excessive and persistent accumulation of possessions, often to the point where living spaces become cluttered and difficult to use for their intended purpose. People who hoard typically have difficulty discarding items, regardless of their actual value, leading to a buildup of possessions that may include things like newspapers, magazines, clothing, household items, and even trash. This often leads to issues like black mold or structural damage. Hoarding negatively impacts health, safety, and mental wellbeing. The accumulation of items usually conceals some amount of food waste, black mold, and rodent droppings, all of which can pose health risks. Safety is often compromised due to exposed wires, standing water, and structural damage. Constant exposure to physical harm is emotionally difficult and can lead to mental health issues for all who are living in the home. Fortunately, Hometown Restoration Group is only a phone call away.
