Hoarding Situation in St. Clair Shores?

We provide hoarding cleanup and restoration services in Macomb County.

My uncle left me his house when he passed away, and I had no idea he had a hoarding problem until I came to see the house. My insurance adjuster told me to call SERVPRO^® of St. Clair Shores, as they have helped many people deal with hoarding situations over the years in St. Clair Shores. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), hoarding is a known fire risk. Here are some of the ways hoarding can become a fire risk:

• Blocked pathways and exits may hinder escape from a fire
• Cooking is unsafe in hoarding environments if flammable items are close to the stove or oven
• Heating units may be too close to things that can burn. They might also be placed on unstable surfaces. If a heater tips over into a pile, it can cause a fire.
• Electrical wiring may be old or worn from the weight of piles. Pests could chew on wires, and damaged wires can start fires.
• Open flames from smoking materials or candles in a home with excess clutter are very dangerous
