Pro Tech Restoration
Hoarding situations rarely begin as emergencies, but they often become one. Over time, excessive accumulation can compromise sanitation, fire safety, structural integrity, and even access to basic living areas. In many Hoffman Estates homes, hoarding cleanup is requested only after a triggering event: a health decline, a pending home sale, a notice from the village, or a family member stepping in to help.
Pro Tech Restoration provides professional hoarding cleanup services in Hoffman Estates, delivering structured, judgment-free cleanup backed by more than two decades of restoration expertise. We are not a junk hauling company. We are a full-service restoration firm equipped to manage hoarding cleanup, sanitation, biohazards, and any underlying damage the situation has caused.
Hoarding Cleanup Requires More Than Removal
Hoarding environments are complex. What appears to be clutter often conceals deeper problems such as leaking plumbing, mold growth, fire hazards, pest infestation, or structural stress caused by excess weight and moisture retention. Addressing these conditions safely requires trained restoration professionals who understand both environmental risk and human factors.
Established in 2003, Pro Tech Restoration began as a fire and water damage restoration company serving the Chicagoland area. That foundation is critical in hoarding situations, where cleanup and restoration often overlap. Our approach is built on risk assessment, controlled cleanup, and long-term stabilization, not rushed disposal.
When Hoarding Becomes a Serious Safety Concern
In Hoffman Estates, we are frequently contacted when hoarding conditions begin to interfere with daily living or violate safety standards. Warning signs that professional intervention is needed include:
- Blocked exits, stairways, or utility access
- Kitchens or bathrooms that are no longer functional
- Persistent odors or visible mold growth
- Pest activity, animal waste, or spoiled food
- Water damage hidden beneath clutter
- Fire code or municipal compliance issues

Our Structured Hoarding Cleanup Process in Hoffman Estates
- Assessment, Documentation & Planning
Every project begins with a detailed on-site evaluation. We assess safety risks, contamination concerns, layout limitations, and decision authority. This allows us to create a clear scope of work, timeline, and expectations before cleanup begins.
- Phased Cleanup & Sanitation
Cleanup is completed in organized phases to avoid overwhelming the resident or family. Items are removed only with approval unless they present an immediate hazard. Sanitation and deodorization occur alongside removal to stabilize air quality and living conditions.
- Stabilization & Restoration Support
Once the home is brought back to a safe baseline, we address any restoration needs uncovered during cleanup—such as mold remediation, water damage repair, or fire-related hazards. Follow-up services are available to support long-term stability.

Review by Amy Jachna
"Had a great experience working with Marshall when we had an emergency leak at my mom’s house. He immediately started working to salvage what we could. I felt like he absolutely understood the urgency, and treated my mom like his own! He and the rest of the team were super easy to work with and answered our (many) questions along the way. They were very transparent about the process which was extremely helpful as this was our first time with this kind of issue in 30+ years of owning the house. We so appreciate ProTech for aiding us during our time of need."

"My experience with ProTech was wonderful from the first visit thru the last. Ben did a great job of evaluating the work that needed to be done and explaining everything to me. Frank and Sergio were great to work with because they were pleasant AND they were so very careful about everything they did. All in all, I give the ProTech team an A+!"
Review by Kelsey Swyter
"I had a pipe burst and subsequent leakage into my basement. At first I thought that we maybe stopped it in time since we could not see obvious damage but Marshall at ProTech said it would be a good idea to check it out anyway and came out within a couple of days. I’m so glad he did since there was more damage than we anticipated. Marshall explained the damage thoroughly using his imaging techniques and provided a quote within the day. Pricing was good and our insurance accepted the proposal immediately. The ProTech team was able to do the water damage mitigation about a week after the incident and on a Saturday no less. Everything was done super quickly and professionally. While I do not want to deal with any more water damage, the repairs using ProTech were painless. I would recommend this company and especially Marshall to anyone in the same situation."
