We understand these situations involve real people facing hard times. Our team works quietly and quickly. We treat every customer with respect. No judgment, just results.
Severe hoarding cleanup requires a team that knows how to clear years of buildup safely. Hammerhead Haul Away provides severe hoarding cleanup in Rotterdam, NY. We work with families, landlords, and estate managers who need help with properties filled beyond normal use.
Severe hoarding means rooms you can’t walk through. Doors that won’t open. Kitchens and bathrooms that haven’t worked in months. We bring extra crew members and multiple trucks. The job takes days, not hours.
We sort everything by hand. Papers get checked for documents. Boxes get opened. We find valuables buried under years of stuff. Nothing important goes to the dump by mistake. Families often recover photo albums and heirlooms they thought were gone.

How long does severe hoarding cleanup take? Most homes take 2-5 days. A single bedroom might clear in one day. Full houses with basements and garages need a week. We work Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Extra crew speeds things up.
Do you need special equipment for hoarded homes? We bring heavy-duty bags, shovels, and safety gear. Masks protect against dust and mold. Work gloves handle sharp objects. Our trucks hold 15 cubic yards each. Most jobs need multiple loads.
What if we find mice or bugs during cleanup? We’ve seen it all. Dead rodents get bagged and removed. We note active infestations for you to handle with pest control. Our crew keeps working. Nothing stops the cleanup once we start.
Can you help with properties that smell bad? Yes. We open windows first thing. Rotten food and waste go straight to the truck. The smell improves fast once junk starts leaving. Most odors disappear after we clear the source.
Do you work with insurance companies? We provide detailed invoices and photos for claims. Some policies cover hoarding cleanup after water damage or fires. We can’t file claims for you, but our paperwork helps your case.
What happens to all the stuff you remove? Usable items go to local charities. Metal and electronics get recycled. Paper and cardboard too. Only true trash hits the landfill. We sort everything at our Rotterdam facility.
Hammerhead Haul Away serves Albany County, Schenectady, and the Capital Region. We bring the right crew and equipment to clear any property.
Life changes trigger most severe hoarding situations. A spouse dies. Someone gets sick. Depression takes over. Years pass before anyone asks for help. Our Rotterdam crew sees these stories daily.
Blocked exits create fire hazards. Piles collapse and hurt people. Mold grows in wet spots. Rodents nest in the clutter. We clear paths first, then tackle the rest room by room. Safety drives every decision.
We load trucks quietly. No yelling or loud music. Debris stays contained in bags or bins. Nothing blows into yards. We sweep the street when done. Neighbors see progress, not mess.
According to the American Psychiatric Association, hoarding disorder affects 2-6% of the population. That’s thousands of homes in the Capital Region alone.
