Mold Removal NYC
What Are Mold Removal & Mold Remediation?
Mold removal is the process of physically cleaning mold from the surfaces it grows on. When growth has developed beyond what can be surface-cleaned, the infected material must be removed. Mold commonly grows on insulation, drywall, wood, or materials like caulk or fabric, which are porous and allow mold to propagate in hard-to-clean crevices.
Mold remediation is the process of addressing conditions in the environment that promote mold growth, which is necessary for successful mold abatement (the ending, reduction, or lessening of excessive mold levels). By taking remedial steps, you can make sure your mold issue is permanently resolved.
Our Mold Remediation NY Process
Here’s how the AAA Lead Professionals mold remediation process works:
- Mold inspectors assess your home or business. Then, we refer to the inspection report to physically clean mold anywhere it is growing, including walls, ceilings, roof, shower walls, basement, attic, crawl space, or wood materials.
- Specialists certified in mold remediation treat areas showing symptoms of past, present, or future mold growth. They may use anti-microbial solutions to inhibit the development of mold cells.
- The root cause(s) of the mold growth must be addressed and resolved to prevent ongoing problems. For example, replacing appliances that are causing condensation and using dehumidifiers.
- A clearance test will verify that indoor air quality is back to normal and airborne mold presence has been reduced to safe levels.
The expert team at AAA Lead Professionals follows strict guidelines to ensure your disinfection and plan to prevent mold recurrence are successful. After your mold inspection and testing are complete, our technicians will provide an analysis of the lab results, so you can better understand the conditions of mold growth in your building.
Mold Remediation Requirements in NY
Only professional mold remediators and mold contracting companies are allowed to offer mold removal services in New York. Per Article 32 of New York Labor Law, contractors and/or firms must hold valid certifications and licenses in order to work with mold.
A regular contractor cannot legally remediate mold for you, and it is also illegal to remove mold yourself in certain cases. For a building with 10 or more dwelling units, for example, mold remediation of greater than 10 square feet must be completed by a certified mold contractor.
Other Rules
Some of New York’s other mold removal guidelines include:
- Mold remediation projects must adhere to a work plan created by a licensed mold assessor.
- The client must be shown the work plan before beginning.
- Signs notifying of a remediation project must be displayed at the site.
- Clearance testing must be completed post-remediation by a third party.
