Mold removal, inspection and testing in Brooklyn

Where mold usually starts in Brooklyn

• Brownstones and rowhouses. Roof, parapet and cellar leaks. Mold shows up under the roofline, around windows and on basement walls.
• Apartment buildings. Leaks from the apartment above, and bathrooms without an exhaust fan.
• Newer buildings. Leaks around windows, air conditioner lines and behind kitchen and bathroom fixtures.

Low-lying basements, like those near the water in Red Hook and Coney Island, can take in water in heavy rain. After any flood, check drywall and flooring even if they look dry.

What we do in Brooklyn

• Mold removal and remediationMold removed safely to a written plan: the area sealed off, the air HEPA-filtered, damaged materials taken out, and everything cleaned and dried. Priced before work starts.
• Mold inspection and testingA licensed assessor finds the mold and the moisture behind it, with thermal imaging, moisture readings and lab-tested air samples, then writes it up in a clear report.
• Indoor air quality testingSpore trap air samples indoors and outdoors, analyzed by an independent laboratory, so you can see whether indoor levels look normal.

Other Brooklyn neighborhoods

Prospect Heights

Brownstones and prewar apartment buildings, right next to our base in Crown Heights. Roof leaks and leaks from upstairs are the usual causes.

Red Hook

Rowhouses and converted warehouses on low-lying blocks by the water, where ground floors and cellars can take in water in storms.

Bay Ridge

Prewar apartment buildings and co-ops, and one- and two-family houses, many with finished basements.

Flatlands

Attached brick houses, many with finished basements. A basement that smells musty is worth checking before the mold spreads.
