Compassionate Hoarding Cleanup Services in Seattle, WA

Hoarding disorder affects an estimated 2–6% of the population, including many Seattle residents. Unlike ordinary clutter, hoarding involves persistent difficulty discarding possessions, leading to severe accumulation that creates unsafe and unhealthy living conditions.

Our Seattle hoarding cleanup services are designed to address both the physical hazards and the emotional challenges associated with hoarding. We approach every project with patience, respect, and confidentiality.

Signs of Hoarding

• Blocked rooms, doors, or stairways
• Excessive accumulation of items with little usable space
• Mold, pests, or sanitation issues
• Fire hazards from blocked exits or overloaded electrical outlets

Seattle’s damp climate increases risks such as mold growth, rot, and pest infestations, making professional hoarding cleanup essential.

Real Seattle Customer Experiences

“Compassionate and Professional Throughout”

“After my mother passed away, we discovered her Capitol Hill home was severely hoarded. The situation was overwhelming and heartbreaking. Tymli Removal Services handled everything with such compassion and respect for my mother’s memory. They worked carefully through each room, consulting with us about sentimental items and never making us feel rushed or judged. The three-day cleanup transformed the house and allowed us to move forward with the estate sale. Their team made an impossible situation manageable. I can’t thank them enough.”

— Jennifer M., Capitol Hill, Seattle, WA

“Saved Us During a Crisis”

“We received a notice from the health department about my brother’s apartment in Northgate, giving us just 10 days to resolve a serious hoarding situation or face eviction. I called Tymli Removal Services in a panic, and they responded immediately. They sent a team the next day and completed the entire cleanout in just three days. The team was professional, efficient, and treated my brother with kindness despite the difficult circumstances. The apartment was completely transformed. We avoided eviction and my brother was able to stay in his home. Absolutely grateful for their emergency response.”

— David L., Northgate, Seattle, WA

“Thorough, Respectful, and Worth Every Penny”

“As a property manager in West Seattle, I’ve dealt with several hoarding situations over the years. Tymli Removal Services is hands-down the best company I’ve worked with for these sensitive cleanups. They recently cleared a two-bedroom house that had been hoarded for over a decade. Their team sorted carefully through everything, donated what they could, properly recycled materials, and handled disposal according to all Seattle regulations. The documentation they provided for our records was excellent. They completed the job in five days and left the property spotless. I now recommend them exclusively for hoarding cleanouts.”

— Marcus T., Property Manager, West Seattle, WA

“They Gave My Sister Her Life Back”

“My sister struggled with hoarding for years in her Ballard apartment, and it had reached a point where only narrow pathways remained between stacks of belongings. She finally agreed to get help, and we chose Tymli Removal Services based on their reputation for sensitivity. The team was absolutely wonderful—patient, kind, and encouraging throughout the four-day process. They let my sister make decisions at her own pace and never pressured or criticized her. Seeing her apartment clean and functional again brought tears to our eyes. The transformation was life-changing. I’m so grateful we found such caring professionals.”
