Hoarding is more than just a cleanup service. Unlike
fire restoration
,
water damage repair,
or routine
carpet cleaning
,
hoarder cleanup
is a delicate procedure that has emotions involved with the process.
Hoarding
is characterized by having difficulty discarding things that may appear to have no value from an outside perspective. This can sometimes lead to unclean and unsafe living conditions for the person suffering from the disorder.
Paxton is now working to provide the proper training for each ServiceMaster franchise that offers
hoarder cleanup services
. With approximately 50 hours being put into training, Paxton and ServiceMaster are creating a dream team, with ServiceMaster providing the professional equipment and central locations, and Paxton providing the emotional training and support to deal with this delicate cleaning service.
Though training of the entire franchise is scheduled to take about 4 years total, everyone is extremely excited about the partnership. With the help of the show, Paxton was receiving thousands of leads per year, with the ability and resources to only help about 50 of those customers. ServiceMaster will help provide the resources and manpower to assist serving more of these leads.
