Hoarder house clearance in Schaerbeek: our approach
In a Schaerbeek house split into flats, a severely cluttered home does not affect only its occupant: odours, pests or fire risk worry the neighbours and the landlord too. The request may come from a relative, a property manager, a landlord or the CPAS/OCMW of Schaerbeek. We approach them without judgement. A prior visit lets us assess the volume, hygiene and access, and agree with the occupant on what they want to keep. On the day, the team, in protective gear, works methodically room by room, without putting the situation on display in the street. After removal, we clean and disinfect so the home can be lived in again or renovated.
- Assessment: a discreet visit, with no comment on the situation.
- Sorting: papers, photos and personal items searched for and set aside.
- Restoration: removal, cleaning and disinfection in Schaerbeek, in the agreed order.
Cluttered home in Schaerbeek: a discreet approach
In a Schaerbeek house divided into flats, a severely cluttered home weighs on the whole building: smells in the stairwell, fear of fire, pests moving from floor to floor. The request may come from a relative, a property manager, a landlord or the CPAS of Schaerbeek. We prepare the job with a visit free of judgement, with the occupant where possible, to check floors, wiring and stairs and note what needs to be found: papers, jewellery, keepsakes. As everything goes out through the shared hallway, we let other occupants know the time slot and protect the common areas. The equipped team works methodically, packs soiled waste in sealed bags and loads it straight away. Clearing is followed by cleaning, then disinfection. We recommend a licensed pest controller if pests are present, before re-letting or renovation.
Hoarder homes in Schaerbeek: from Josaphat to Meiser and Diamant
The late nineteenth-century houses around Josaphat, Dailly or Colignon have often kept original features: parquet, mouldings, fireplaces, tiled floors. Beneath a heavy accumulation, these can be weakened or hidden. We therefore clear carefully, without tearing or scraping, so the owner can later judge what can be restored.
Towards Meiser and Diamant, the more recent buildings have a lift, which changes the pace: removal goes by lift in booked slots, with a quicker pass through the lobby. In Helmet, Terdelt or Brabant, situations range from a studio to a whole house. In each case we agree with the person on a first area to clear, often the bedroom or bathroom, so a concrete improvement is visible by the end of the first day.
