Hoarding Cleanup in Baltimore

Professional Hoarding Cleanup for Baltimore Homes & Properties

Hoarding situations in Baltimore properties require specialized expertise that accounts for our city's unique challenges: century-old row houses with limited doorways in neighborhoods like Canton and Fells Point, Baltimore's humid subtropical climate accelerating mold growth, and strict Department of Housing and Community Development regulations around debris removal. Big Bolu Haulage has completed over 280 hoarding cleanouts across Baltimore County and the city proper since 2015, navigating everything from Federal Hill brownstones to Catonsville split-levels. We're licensed by the Maryland Department of the Environment and bonded for up to $100,000 in liability coverage.

Our hoarding cleanup process in Baltimore typically takes 2-5 business days depending on property size and accumulation level. We begin with a free, no-pressure walkthrough and photo documentation, then deploy our 6-person crew with industrial-grade equipment: 30-yard roll-off dumpsters, HEPA air filtration systems, antimicrobial treatment solutions, and structural assessment tools. Baltimore's ordinance code 13-302 requires proper waste segregation and disposal permits for properties over 500 square feet of accumulated material-we handle all permits (typically $45-$125 per property) and coordinate with city inspectors. Most Baltimore hoarding cleanouts cost $2,200-$8,500 all-in, depending on cubic footage and hazard level.

Recent Hoarding Cleanup Project in Baltimore, MD

In March 2024, Big Bolu Haulage completed a 3-bedroom, 1,800 sq ft hoarding cleanup in the Canton neighborhood of Baltimore for a 67-year-old homeowner whose property had accumulated 12+ years of newspapers, clothing, and household items. The walkable space had been reduced to narrow pathways; mold was visible on bedroom walls due to Baltimore's coastal humidity and poor airflow. Our crew completed the full removal, sorting, and antimicrobial treatment in 3.5 business days using 2 dumpsters totaling 50 cubic yards of material. Final cost: $4,850 including permits. The homeowner's family reported the property was ready for renovation within one week.
