At The Junk Bros, we understand that hoarding situations require more than just junk removal—they demand sensitivity, patience, and professional expertise. Our compassionate approach helps transform overwhelmed spaces into safe, functional homes while respecting the emotional needs of our clients.
Understanding Hoarding Disorder
Hoarding is a complex mental health condition that affects approximately 2-6% of the population. It's characterized by:
- Difficulty discarding items regardless of their value
- Extreme distress at the thought of getting rid of possessions
- Living spaces becoming too cluttered to use as intended
- Significant impairment to daily functioning
Important Note
Our team is trained to handle hoarding situations with care, but we always recommend working with mental health professionals for comprehensive treatment.
