Yes. Garages, sheds, porches and storage areas are often part of a hoarder house cleanout. Mention every space on the first call so the plan and the haul-away cover them.
Usually not, because many policies exclude long-term buildup. A policy may help with a specific event such as a fire, a leak or a sewage backup. Read the policy, call the insurer before work begins, take photos and keep receipts.
Usually the owner. For an estate, the estate pays or the cost comes from the sale of the house. Family members sometimes share it. In a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant.
A small area may take a day, while a full house with heavy buildup often takes several days or longer. Access, volume, hazards and the level of cleaning all change the timeline. The team can estimate after a walk-through.
Ask about sorting, hauling, donation runs and cleaning after the rooms are empty.
