Nu-Gen Cleaning & Restoration
The presence of mold in homes and buildings is a hazard to both property structure and health. As spores from the mold are released into the air, they trigger allergic reactions and respiratory issues as well as more serious long-term health effects. Mold can develop in any area containing excess moisture. As it develops, it uses porous building materials as food sources. As the mold eats away at these materials, damage to your home or building can occur. It is imperative to contact a professional when you discover signs of mold growth.
We perform complete mold removal for homes and buildings throughout West Dundee, IL. Our mold remediation experts are licensed, trained, and equipped to identify, contain, and eradicate mold from all building surfaces.
Problems with Mold
If moisture is not treated quickly, mold can grow within 48 hours of excess moisture and bacteria accumulation in a particular area. Mold typically grows on drywall, wood, upholstery, and carpeting; anything containing cellulose. Over time, affected materials deteriorate and become discolored, leading to permanent damage. Additionally, mold spore-based colonies spread throughout the indoor environment, posing a serious health risk to occupants.
Mold can have severe effects on human health. Allergic reactions and asthma have been linked to mold exposure—asthma symptoms can include difficulty breathing, a cough, wheezing, and more. Some mold species produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can cause eye and throat irritation, headaches, dizziness and loss of coordination, nausea, and vomiting when inhaled.

I had a pipe freeze and burst at my home in the very early hours of Christmas Eve, around midnight. The water damaged my kitchen and went into my basement as well. I called Nu-Gen around 2:00am and Olga answered the phone and set up an appointment for me for the same day, between 8:30-9:30. After calling my insurance company, they said they would send out their own mitigation service so I cancelled my appointment with Nu-Gen. Well, the service that my insurance company contracted never showed up, but to my surprise Olga called me that afternoon to check on things and make sure I was okay. I was incredibly grateful for her checking on me because my insurance company failed me at that point. Later that afternoon Moises, the project manager, came out to assess the situation. They immediately set up the mitigation process and during the next couple of weeks, Moises - and his wonderful crew - Jose and Joey, were out several times to check on the progress of the drying and mitigation process. I am forever grateful for Nu-Gen's help and guidance throughout this entire process. I've recommended their services to my insurance company as well so that they could now have a reliable mitigation service to use in the area and I also expect to use Nu-Gen for the reconstruction work as well.
Jose and Leti were wonderful, a third gentleman came to assist, I didn't get his name but they worked well together to solve a tricky dryer vent issue. After spending over an hour cleaning a vent that was no longer in use from second floor( unbeknownst to all of us) we learned previous owners rerouted out the roof. Not once did they act like they were annoyed by this discovery. Very professional and very friendly. I cannot recommend them enough. Great Job Nu-Gen.
