Any advice as to whom to contact, and the cost of a cleanup job like this, would be greatly appreciated.

true old ppl does hide money in all kinda thing, gets worse when they become hoarders. some of them does be building some real bio-hazard zones in house.
but...
you hadda ask yuhself, you willing to go thru all those things (some of which might be truly disgusting, ting to make maggot vomit I mean, seen an episode of hoarders where is human feces & urine, rotten food, dog, cat & rodent urine & droppings, all over the place ) for the low probability chance that it MIGHT have something there of value? & how much $$ yuh go hadda find to make it worth your personal effort and risk? If yuh find a $5K & a ounce or two of gold it might be worth it, but what if yuh only find $6.00 for all yuh efforts?
my humble perspective, if it had money there & I hadda go thru any kinda bio-hazard scene, it eh mine & so I eh want it. whoever finds it deserves it. my health & peace of mind worth more to me than any small change I might find amidst the garbage.

That concern re bio-hazard waste is true in this case. For a while it appears that his plumbing had not been working, so the guy had been keeping human waste in buckets and bags in various locations.
From what I've been told, it's very much similar to an episode of Hoarders - some rooms are packed full of stuff, there are pathways where you can walk within some rooms, and not much else.
From what I've found out since, they are getting access to a swmcol bin to load up, but the human waste disposal, I'm not as sure about.

Well he passed away this morning, so I guess it worked out in the sense that he no longer has to suffer.
