Today’s Dropping Bombs episode features Cory Chalmers, the cleanup expert from A&E’s Hoarders, who invented the crime scene cleanup industry in 1995 as a paramedic and built Steri-Clean into a nationwide franchise.

Cory breaks down what happens to a body nobody finds, the five levels of hoarding, and why cleaning a hoarder’s house fails 98% of the time without aftercare. He also reveals how one cleanup uncovered $77,000 in cash on day one, and why the real estate deals hiding behind these jobs go unnoticed by most investors.

Someone has to answer the call when tragedy hits a family. This episode shows who does it, what it pays, and the opportunity most people walk right past.
