Hoarding disorder, or compulsive hoarding, is an issue that affects a number of people throughout the United States. It can lead to highly unsanitary homes, serious health complications, and even deadly scenarios. At NuEra Restoration and Remodeling, we provide hoarding cleaning services to address these situations and help affected individuals learn to manage their very real disorders. We are available to assist property owners in Hoffman Estates, IL.
The Dangers of Excessive Hoarding
Aside from an extreme lack of cleanliness and an abundance of clutter, hoarding can present a number of dangers to those that live in the affected home. The most pressing issue is the blockage of exits in the event of an emergency. If you are suddenly required to evacuate your home due to a fire, flood, or similar event, you may not be able to. To make matters worse, events such as fires can be greatly enhanced due to the extra fuel from the clutter.
There are risks other than those presented by typically thought of emergencies. Tipping hazards are a very real concern, as individuals get stuck under fallen items every year. The inability to clean under-hoarded items is also a major risk, as mold, pests, and allergens can become widespread. This can result in health issues like allergic reactions, asthma attacks, respiratory infections, and worse.

The NuEra Restoration and Remodeling Approach
A big mistake that many friends and family members of hoarders make is that they are too abrasive when trying to help. A common misconception is that those afflicted with hoarding tendencies are lazy. The truth of the matter is that hoarding disorder incites extreme anxiety in affected individuals when they are faced with disposing of items. They are often too embarrassed to seek assistance, as a result. This is why compassion and understanding are a staple of our hoarding cleaning services.
NuEra Restoration and Remodeling has developed a proven approach to hoarding cleaning, and our NuEra Restoration and Remodeling technicians have adopted it wholeheartedly. It includes the following:
- The establishment of trust before any cleaning actually takes place
- Removal of unnecessary items (with consultation from the affected individual)
- Assistance with deciding whether to throw away, recycle, donate, or keep belongings
- Decontamination, restoration, and deodorization of affected areas
- The creation of a cleaning plan that we leave for the affected individual so that they can better manage their hoarding disorder (we will periodically follow up)
Finally, it is important to note that we abide by the rules and regulations of the Department of Transportation, OSHA, and the EPA. This means that we are certified to assist you. We are also able to dispose of dangerous biohazard materials if need be.

"Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Clint and his team were AWESOME!!! He was very considerate of my time and space. I was very frustrated when he arrived & when he left I felt happy and relieved that my issue was resolved! He made sure to clean everything with non-toxic chemicals so that my kids would be safe, he explained everything he was doing and executed it perfectly. I had a leak in my ceiling and sewage water everywhere. He put in the time and hard work to disinfect, clean, and dry everything throughly. He was quick, efficient, and respectful! I would definitely recommend his services to anyone who has an issue in their space. Thank you Clint."

"Our technician Alec came in and re-padded the carpet that had been torn up last week due to water damage. He was so friendly and talkative, and worked very quickly to get the job done! In and out within 30 minutes so that I could get on with my day. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Alec!"
Review by Saima I
"After our apartment flooded on Chirstmas Eve, we were worried about dry wall repairs and patches, and disgusted by the stench. NuEra handled our dry wall replacement and patching and our carpets. We didn't get a business card from the man who worked on our walls and ceilings, but he did so without his partner that day. We are so grateful! After the drywall repairs, our carpets were cleaned so thoroughly and efficiently. Alex treated the carpet and scrubbed it out well before applying the deodorizer and scrubbing that in. He even got out a bright yellow stain from the water that had leaked in. It's such a relief to no longer live in a stinky apartment! Alex and Nick were wonderful! Thank you so much!"
