Do cleanouts include cleaning, or only hauling?
That depends on the plan. Some jobs end broom-clean, and others include deep cleaning, disinfecting and odor treatment. Ask the team to say exactly what the job covers before work starts.

Repairs, pest control or a final deep clean, depending on what the crew found. The team passes along notes on damage so the owner can plan. For an occupied home, a plan for upkeep and support helps keep the rooms clear.
How much does hoarder junk removal cost?

Usable goods go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, broken or unsafe items go to disposal, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.
How do you clean out a hoarder's house?
