Hoarding cleanup in Fairfax County, Virginia

Hoarding cleanups in Fairfax County

Fairfax County has taken hoarding seriously for a long time. Its Hoarding Task Force, created in 1998, was one of the first in the country, bringing together code enforcement, fire and rescue, health, mental health and social services. The county's Hoarding Committee has been on hiatus since July 2026, but the Department of Code Compliance still investigates complaints.

That matters for families because many Fairfax County cleanouts start with a letter from Code Compliance. The letter lists the conditions that need to be corrected and a timeline. We scope the job to exactly those conditions, document the work, and give you a completion letter and photos to share with the inspector.

What Fairfax County homes usually involve

Many homes here are established single-family houses with full basements, attics and garages, owned by the same person for decades. Basements and attics add carry time, and garages and sheds often hold the most volume. We plan crews and trucks around that from the walkthrough.
