House Collapsing Under Weight of Hoarders Waste | Hoarders

"And good ventilation..." standing next to a broken window. That is what I like about British humour.

[@gardenjoy5223]

So by hoarding, the man didn't only live very unpleasantly, but also managed to get the value down roughly 150.000 pounds! That's massive! Had something been done about the water leakage in the cellar right away, it might have cost 15.000 pounds. By not doing anything, the damage costs got worse by some 900%.

Does anyone else find it amusing that we see the cleaners peering into the property and exclaiming how hoarded it is and they can't even step in . . . . . but the camera man seems to have made it in and is filming everything from the back of the hoard. Just me?

[@sophiegolden]

It s just a show 😊

[@SkySilver777]

on the American hoarders show they showed the camera man climbed up on a pile of garbage in the corner to film people at the door. so the cleaners likely dont want to scale an unstable mountain of trash, but the camera man will do what's needed to capture the scene.

Hoarders always think they are rescuing things.

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

A lot of things need to go in the bin, not rescued. I don't see how anyone can live like this. I worked with someone who was a hoarder who had 2 children. I called CPS and her kids were taken to live with their grandparents until she could get the mess cleaned up and maintain the home in a clean and safe manner. She never knew it was me who called CPS. She assumed it was one of the neighbors. But she made it right, even though it took almost a year. (Jan Griffiths).

[@ros8986]

@@douglasgriffiths3534 thank you for your reply and your courageous action to call CPS. I think I needed to emphasize THINK in my comment. Of course almost all items in a severely hoarded house end up being reduced to garbage due to the storage conditions of the house. You quite reasonably wrote "I don't see how anyone can live like this" - the answer is that compulsive hoarding disorder is a huge, overwhelming serious mental illness which is very very difficult to even get moderately under control. The treatment failure rate is very high. And people with compulsive hoarding disorder often also say they don't understand how things go to this point and they don't want to live like this. The problem is that 1) the hoarder usually has intense emotional attachment to literally all the items, 2) the hoarder usually lacks the mental scaled value system that most of use to decide what to keep and what to toss (to a hoarder a bottle cap is as valuable as an antique silver vase) - so making graded keep/toss decisions is very, very difficult, 3) hoarding functions as an overwhelming addiction/compulsion, and new stuff is available everywhere, so stopping the flow of new things coming in is very very difficult. (assuming you read this - thank you very much for your time)

[@ashes.to.avery1990]

Logically, some of them actually do know their trash is trash, but they still can't toss it. That's because it's a mental illness.

The neighbor is smart coz he wants to buy it. When it's full of crap the neighbor gets a real cheap deal.......The inside just gets gutted out if heritage listed so everything including the walls just get thrown in the waste. If not heritage listed then many people just want the land and will bulldoze the entire home with stuff in it.

[@kapioleilanionalanielua]

Whomever buys it will first have to pump the water out of the basement, put in supporting columns under the beams and floors. Then once the floors are supported, get the kitchen cleaned out. Sounds like the rest of the house has good bones., but needs major renovations.

[@pattiannepascual]

what about the horrific deadly mold from the water sitting under the house for decades? I don't see anyone bringing this up. Mold remediation will cost at least $30,000.

[@kapioleilanionalanielua]

Imagine, your house just falling down around you.

[@tonamiller8298]

Ok, I know you are in the UK but you can not put this on the market with all that water is gone and taken care of. That didn't happen in one week. It is ongoing for months if not a year or more. That needs to be addressed and then decide if the people in the other side of the house is going to want it.

Report her to the authorities. You can do it anonymously. (Jan Griffiths).

[@gardenjoy5223]

For sure she was violating the codes of how to maintain your property. If someone's behavior is disturbing to others, one may report it. They will come and check the property and demand things to be changed. One gets a few weeks or a month time and after the due date, there is a hefty fine per day to 'help' someone comply. If that fine is 500,- per day, that's 15.000,- in just a month. They'll comply alright.

How can anyone let their father live like that? It appears that adult protective services should've been called ages ago either by the neighbors or any family member who gave a damn. It's so dangerous for the entire neighborhood since the houses are so close together, one fire can burn down the entire block! If my Dad was hoarding like that I would make sure he got into a good nursing home and the place cleaned up and sold. It's clear that he had some type of mental instability. I hope his final years see him showered and clean every day of his life, with a good hot meal and clean accommodations and the medications he needed all along.

[@LadyLsound]

Sometimes the parent (or person hoarding), will put up a huge resistance to any changes...One cannot just put them in a home...

[@amandamarshall2661]

😊m in l😅 Pl pop

[@gardenjoy5223]

You think a nursing home may just take in anyone they like? There are regulations for who is eligible for a place in a nursing home! He's got to actual need nursing around the clock due to very poor health. Showering every day is real bad for your skin. Any dermatologist recommends showering twice a week or so, unless one gets very dirty from his activities. There is no known medication against hoarding. Am still hoping they find something to cure unrighteousness and laziness :)

@@LadyLsoundadult services will make the decision.

[@debbieb5400]

​@@LadyLsound that's true. You can't just stick people into a home and take away their rights. My mother and mother in law were poor housekeepers and hoarders. I cleaned for years. My brother is a hoarder 1000 miles away whom I visit yearly or biyearly for past 20 years. This last time I told him that I might not be able to keep coming out and if his health fails he might consider moving closer to us when we retire. I'm 65 and it gets harder to keep up with him although he helped and got rid of stuff this time around. Hoarding has so many components. His neighbors know he is different and patient because they know he is checked on by a sister who keeps him somewhat organized. But, he can fill up his house with "stuff" and "collections" to the ceiling. He finally admitted he'd "collected" too much and let go this time. It's been a long hard road with him to keep him functional.
