  • Areas of the home can’t be accessible for intended purpose like chairs, dining tables, kitchen; refrigerator can’t be used for their respective purpose due to unnecessary gathering of unwanted items or wastes piled up or into them.
  • Some Hoardings are so messy that actually results into damage, distress or illness. It often leads to argument with family members, put house at the risk of fire, falling, infestation or eviction. Also leads to depression much of the time because of hoardings
