Mold remediation done to state standards

The rules exist for a reason

Mold work is licensed, regulated work, and the requirements vary by state. In New York, a business performing mold remediation has to hold a state Mold Remediation Contractor license, the people on site have to be certified Mold Supervisors or Mold Abatement Workers, and on most jobs the company assessing the mold cannot be the company remediating it. We hold that license, our supervisors and workers carry those certifications, and our technicians are IICRC-certified in applied microbial remediation.

Wherever we work — New York, Massachusetts or Vermont — the job itself is done to the same standard: containment, negative air, controlled removal, HEPA cleaning and independent verification. We work alongside independent local mold assessors as a matter of practice, not only where a statute requires it, so your remediation is signed off by someone with no stake in the outcome. That protects you, and it’s what a lender, buyer or insurer will want to see.

How we approach a mold job

1. Find the water. Mold is a symptom. If the moisture source isn’t fixed, it comes back.
2. Contain. Sealed containment and negative air pressure so spores don’t travel to clean parts of the building.
3. Remove. Affected porous materials out under controlled conditions; salvageable surfaces cleaned by hand.
4. HEPA and treat. HEPA vacuuming, air scrubbing, and antimicrobial application.
5. Verify. Post-remediation assessment by the independent assessor, then clearance in writing.

• Water damage that sat for more than a couple of days before drying
• Recurring condensation, or humidity that stays high through the summer
