Mobile Home Cleanout

At EZ Heavy Lifting & Moving, we’ve seen it all, but nothing quite prepared us for the wild adventure we had during a recent mobile home cleanout in Gaston, SC. It wasn’t just another routine job—it was an experience that pushed us to think on our feet, be resourceful, and keep calm under pressure. Here’s how it all unfolded:

When we first arrived at the mobile home, we were met with an unexpected challenge: the front door had a rigged lock. This wasn’t a typical lock we could just pick or unlock. No, it was a makeshift system that made getting inside more difficult than we ever imagined. But we weren’t about to let that stop us—we knew what we had to do. After some back-and-forth, we were able to gain access (with a little creative thinking!) and get started on the cleanout. It wasn’t the easiest start, but we were determined to get the job done.

As if things weren’t complicated enough, we soon learned there was more to this job than just the lock. There was a squatter living on the premises, and we couldn’t go inside without the proper permission. To make sure we were handling everything legally and respectfully, we had to call in a Lexington County Sheriff. Thankfully, the sheriff’s presence ensured that we were allowed to do the cleanout safely and with the right authorization.

Once inside, the state of the mobile home was nothing short of shocking. It was an absolute disaster. Piles of trash, old furniture, and personal belongings were scattered everywhere. The conditions were so bad, we even found used needles lying around—something you don’t expect to encounter during a cleanout job! We had to be extra careful and thorough as we cleaned and sorted through the mess. Our team tackled the job head-on, wearing gloves and protective gear to ensure everything was handled properly and safely.

Things took a bit of an awkward turn when the squatter actually showed up while we were in the middle of cleaning out the place. Imagine the tension: here we were, removing belongings, when the person who had been living there without permission appeared. It made for a strange moment as we tried to keep things professional and avoid any conflict. Fortunately, the sheriff was on hand to keep things calm and make sure everything went smoothly. We finished the cleanout, and the squatter left without incident, but it was definitely an unexpected twist to the day.
