All of us are probably guilty of hanging on to too much stuff and I'm been know much about changing the way or keep things we should have got rid of a long time ago. This is my home which doesn't make sure her home and at the moment, but when does a messy house become a hoard filled home and needs hoard cleanup she had it. I just worked and enjoy and we meet the extreme hoarders who can't seem to throw anything away. I was enjoying Turkish the relationships put under stress. He still treats me like a two-year-old little girl and I think you need to just do it and we meet those who battle their toughest conditions to give hoarders back. Their life salivary this is can't stop and won't stop hoarding. 4,000miles away behind the pristine exterior of this sunny Florida home lies a harrowing secret of a 74-year-old Sandy Humanis, extreme water, and every single surface of her house is littered with rubbish. After a heart attack, left sandy with depression she stopped throwing anything away and it's been upsetting and unnerving because it isn't like me the total opposite. It's been a shock to me I just flipped into it.

I cleaned up the house and kept a nice home there like cooking and I was near a pen. Sandy lives alone and has managed to hide her hoarding from everyone around her by not allowing visitors inside her home. It gets close to phobic at times and then I get up and go out somewhere. Sandy admits that even her sons who live thousands of miles away in other parts of the country don't know the extent of her hoarding. They'd be shocked cuz that's not how they were raised and they ever been here in a couple of years and I've gone out here to see them. They have their own lives and everybody has their potholes in the road of life, but today help is at hand and we know we don't have a special team of cleaners that have been called in by Sandy's best friend Sharon. You saw the state of the house and decided something must be done any of her bills anything like that and well, I'm going to show you where we're going to put a little spot Spalding deacon at the largest holder cleanup specialists services in Florida. Handle an average of four cases a week today and the TV's headed up by case manager Tasha Petrini Ani who spoke to Sandy's best friend. All heard a lot of stuff under there well, when I had found out from sharing was that they've been friends for like nine years and Sharon got the issues like you to know to be friends for so long. I just noticed some people get to the point where something like that will happen but they know have all good intentions and don't anticipate this happening. As the crew clear, the dining room there are signs that some of these piles of rotting food have attracted and unwanted guests saying this is animal droppings like right here, disease-carrying cockroaches, and the more they clean the more roaches they uncover.

Sandy's coffee machine is taking pride of place on the kitchen floor and it's surrounded by a giant pile of coffee filters and there is what appears to be a large amount of coffee. Everywhere, Sandy can't have cooked a meal in her kitchen for years that to pack houses with temperatures in Tampa over 30 degrees and no air-conditioning and most of the crew wear masks to hide the stench of rotting food and ammonia and don't matter almost slips in the layer of grime on the floor. Incredibly the black staff that's covering the fridge a cockroach droppings roaches are inhabiting every single part of Sandy's home and bleach it. Will vacuum it out and then bleach and matter. Finally clearing and cleaning the hoarding floor they make a shocking discovery is that right and they do not come up and what they thought was coffee turns out to be something even more alarming. There are bags of human feces in the kitchen and some of her. First when my bedroom stopped working then I would go to the bathroom and bags that's what then I didn't get him thrown out.

Nick goes to investigate Sandy's bathroom to see if he can unblock the toilet and get it working for her. Nick's fallen through the bathroom floor and his head narrowly misses the blocked toilet. Something very water damage as the crew's first day of cleaning ends as a hocking picture of Sandy's living conditions and is emerging, she's living in a potential death trap surrounded by bags of feces and an infestation of disease-carrying cockroaches. There is a layer and after a layer of newspapers and rubbish. I'm starting to see the carpet she loves her newspapers like that, and I don't know she's asleep in here and one little spot for the bomb it's a way you can evolve in a bond, but you can see basket is full amongst the piles of moldy food and giant cockroaches. Tasha finds evidence of something that could be even more disturbing. The bathroom she's using for plumbing it's common for hoarders like sandy to avoid calling repairman for issues like plumbing because they're afraid of being discovered living in such conditions. Back in the bedroom, Tasha and the team have managed to clear the floor and make some headway. It's the comfort of a book come in that way and Sandy's bed is covered with droppings with egg casings and rotting food and that's kind of well used for years and years.
