When you think about hoarding, there is an array of risks and dangers that come to mind – from cleanliness to injuries to air quality. Unfortunately, there’s another less obvious danger and hidden risk that causes both property damage and a lot of heartache for those involved.  Fire.

Over the course of several months, our team was able to declutter, disinfect, repair, and reconstruct the home to restore it into a welcoming and comfortable environment. But the process wasn’t without its hurdles.
