NYS DOL Mold Remediator #01483

Mold remediation is defined as the processes by which a room or items within a structure are thoroughly and specially cleaned and sanitized. This is explicitly done to kill existing mold, stop the spread of mold, and prevent mold from returning. This process can also include removing building materials that have been contaminated, such as drywall or flooring, and rebuilding them using mold-resistant best practices to safeguard your property. Mold remediation is a service that is essential in ensuring that your home or business remains safe from mold. If left unattended, excess moisture in basements, attics, crawlspaces, bathrooms, kitchens, and more can be the perfect breeding ground for mold to grow, thus taking over your living or working space. Mold remediation works to combat this occurrence, so the integrity of your space and health are not compromised.
