Mold in an apartment

5/13/2018 (Permalink)

The apartment was sure there was a smell coming from a building, I guess they found it.

No two mold jobs are alike, no two Fire jobs are alike, no two water jobs are alike, neither are forensic, biohazards, or hoarding cleanup jobs none are just the same as the one before it. Before shows like A&E "Hoarders" or "Buried Alive", hoarding is the relatively unknown mental illness. Reality TV shows the worst-of-the-worst of these situations. TV blows things out of proportion. They want all the eye's on their show and don't want you to look away for even an instant. They don't you to even look down and eat your cereal, eyes need to be on them nowhere else. 

So really how accurate are all these different shows? Most will agree to watch a tv show documenting a crew attempt to clean out a disaster scenario is not an accurate depiction of what truly goes into jobs such as these. Hoards come in all shapes and sizes, involving many different types of items from trash to treasures, like rare books and other contents. 

You can find a hoarder in any place. From the cheapest apartments in town to the most expensive neighborhoods. Although not all hoards have been there before or been growing for years.
