What's included
What Is Included in This Service
Every job includes the full physical cleanup plus the mental health referral. Some add-ons like mold remediation, pest treatment, and property repairs are quoted separately based on what we find during the walkthrough.
Biohazard and Sharps Handling
Animal waste, human waste, blood, and sharps go into biohazard bags and sharps containers and are disposed of per South Carolina DHEC rules. Crews wear Tyvek suits, respirators, and nitrile gloves throughout.
Deep Cleaning and Disinfection
After debris removal, we HEPA vacuum every surface, apply disinfectants and sanitizers, and treat odors with ozone generators, hydroxyl generators, or thermal foggers. We test air quality before we leave.
Therapist Referral Package
Within 48 hours you receive a list of licensed South Carolina therapists who treat hoarding disorder, including sliding-scale and telehealth options, plus local support groups and crisis resources.
Documentation for Third Parties
Before-and-after photos, disposal weights, and a written scope of work are provided for landlords, real estate agents, insurance adjusters, and code officers.
Two-Week Follow-Up Call
We call two weeks after the job to check in. If the house is refilling, we can schedule a light reset visit before it becomes a full cleanup again.
How it works
How the Cleanup and Referral Process Works
You call (980) 829-0670 and describe the property in plain terms: how many rooms, pets, biohazards, whether the occupant is cooperative. We ask about safety, blocked exits, and whether children or seniors live there. The call takes 10 to 15 minutes and you get a ballpark range before we hang up.
A supervisor visits within 24 to 48 hours, wearing plain clothes, and walks the property with you or the occupant. We measure debris volume, check for mold with moisture meters, and note structural concerns like sagging floors. You get a written, fixed-price quote the same day.
On day one we drop a 20- or 30-yard roll-off container, lay down floor protection, and set up negative air machines and air scrubbers to keep dust and odors contained. Crews wear Tyvek suits, respirators, and nitrile gloves. We protect doorways and HVAC returns before the first box moves.
We sort into keep, donate, and dispose piles with the occupant or family present when possible. Valuables, documents, and photos go into labeled storage bins. Biohazards go into biohazard bags and sharps containers. We finish with HEPA vacuuming, disinfectant, and odor neutralizers or thermal fogging.
Within 48 hours of the final walkthrough, we email or text your therapist referral list, including sliding-scale options and support groups in Dorchester County. Two weeks later we call to check in. If the house is refilling, we can schedule a light reset visit before it becomes a full job again.

What Summerville Families Say
★★★★★
“My mother's house had three rooms we could not walk into. The crew cleared everything in two days and gave us a list of therapists who actually called back. The referral is what made the difference. Six months later the house is still clear, and Mom is seeing a counselor in Summerville every other week.”

★★★★★
“I had a tenant hoarding situation and a code violation deadline. They cleared the unit, documented everything for my attorney, and even offered the tenant a counseling referral. Professional, fast, and they kept it quiet. The dumpster was gone before the neighbors noticed.”

“We were overwhelmed and did not know where to start. The walkthrough was gentle, the price was fixed, and they sorted my father's photos and documents into labeled bins. The mental health referral helped him understand why he was holding on to things. I cannot recommend them enough.”

Susan R.Daughter of Client, Azalea District
✓ VerifiedMost Summerville jobs run $800 to $2,500 for a single room and $3,500 to $12,000 for a whole home in 2026. The referral itself is free. Cost depends on debris volume, biohazard level, dumpster count, and whether we need mold remediation or pest treatment. We give you a fixed quote after the walkthrough, so you know the number before we start hauling.
You get a referral list of licensed South Carolina therapists who specialize in hoarding disorder, plus local support groups and case managers who work with seniors. We include sliding-scale and telehealth options because not everyone can drive to Charleston weekly. The list arrives within 48 hours of the final walkthrough, and we follow up two weeks later to make sure you connected.
We can send the referral list the same day you call, before the cleanup even starts, so you have a counselor lined up. Actual first appointments depend on the therapist's schedule, usually within three to seven days. If you are in crisis, we point you to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and Dorchester County mobile crisis resources immediately.
Start with our referral list, which includes licensed therapists in Dorchester County and the greater Charleston area who treat hoarding disorder specifically. You can also search the Psychology Today directory under 'hoarding' and filter by insurance. If cost is a barrier, ask about sliding-scale community mental health centers. We verify each referral is accepting new clients before we send it.
