Only about 10% of residents in Apex are sixty-five or older, but any household can end up with a house that needs a full cleanout. Only about 7% of homes in Wake County are vacant, so most cleanouts here involve a home that someone still owns or is about to sell.

Hoarder Junk Removal Questions Answered for Apex, NC
What should I say to a relative about a cleanout?
Stay calm and kind. Ask what they most want to keep, avoid words like trash or filth and never remove things without asking. A cleanup team can explain the plan so the person knows what to expect.
Do I need to be there during the cleanout?
Not always. If access can be arranged, the owner or a family member does not have to stay on site. Clear instructions about what to keep and a way to reach someone help the job go smoothly.
What if pests or mold are found during the cleanout?
The crew works with added protection and removes affected materials. Pest control and mold remediation are separate trades, and the team can say when they are needed so you can plan.
Can the team work for an executor, landlord or real estate agent?
Yes. Cleanouts are often arranged by executors, landlords, property managers and agents. The team follows their access instructions and can note the condition of the property for their records.
Is hoarding cleanout work safe for the crew?
It carries real hazards, such as unstable piles, sharp objects, droppings and mold. Crews use protective gear and follow worker safety rules, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, if blood or sharps are found.
What is a hoarder house cleanout?
