If you have recently had a home inspection where mold was found, Northeast can help to remediate this problem.

Our Mold Remediation Process

Black mold in a home in Westchester County, NY

A project manager will review your engineer's scope of work to determine the areas of concern.

Northeast Environmental's crew sets up a containment around the area of the house with the mold problem. A negative air machine is installed within the containment area to prevent the mold spores from spreading to non mold contaminated areas in the home. Anything that contains mold is removed; sheetrock, carpeting, furniture, etc. All surfaces are vacuumed with a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter vacuum. This vacuum removes and traps the mold spores. All remaining surfaces are wiped down with an anti-fungal solution.

The best treatment is prevention, when possible. Moisture control is key. Repair any leaky plumbing or other sources of water. Keep indoor humidity to 30-60% to decrease mold growth. Use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens. Mold is not prejudiced; whether your house was built in 1903 or 2003, if you have a moisture problem, you are likely to find mold.

Not all mold is toxic and not all homes with mold will require Northeast Environmental’s services. Some mold problems can be handled by the homeowner themselves.
