Mold is one word homeowners never want to hear. From nasal congestion to coughing to skin irritation, the effects of mold can be problematic, especially for young children, the elderly, and those with breathing concerns. At Mold Removal Long Island, we provide indoor air quality solutions that clean the air you breathe.
Our mold remediation, indoor air quality, and odor removal solutions create a clean indoor air environment, so your family can breathe cleaner, purer air.
Our highly trained professionals know how to contain and remove mold with the correct procedures so that spreading does not occur. Mold can grow undetected between walls or under floorboards. The worst part of this is that the longer mold goes without being treated the more difficult it is to get rid of.
Considering the symptoms that mold causes, such as sneezing, chronic cough, sinus headaches, and other flu-like symptoms, it is imperative that you call a certified mold removal company to perform an inspection as quick as possible.
These symptoms can be even worse for infants, pregnant women, and the elderly, so please do not gamble with your health. If you suspect that you have a mold infestation, call the island-wide mold removal company today so we can at least inspect whether or not there is a problem.
Successful mold removal for any Long Island property begins with a mold assessment. This consists of a visual examination, instrument survey for air quality and moisture, and sending surface and air samples to the laboratory for testing. These intensive tests serve to isolate the areas of infection so that areas that are not infected do not have to be needlessly contained and serviced.

Mold uses the insulation as a food source and grows thanks to constant moisture. Here are a few other issues we’ve seen:
The living spaces, including bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, and especially laundry rooms and bathrooms can support mold growth too. Be on the lookout for signs of mold from issues like:
Basements and crawl spaces have all of the right conditions for mold. It’s very important to control moisture in basements with a good dehumidifier year-round. In addition to moisture control, keep an eye out for places water can enter your home, and try to keep clutter down where possible. Here are our top checklist items when we do a visual assessment:
You may not think about it very often, but the exterior of your home is something you should check out a couple of times each year. Looking for signs of water damage, and anything else from the list below can help you take control of a mold issue fast.
Any of the signs above can lead to your home becoming a home for mold too. Take a few minutes to look for the signs above each time you visit some of those key areas in your house. We recommend examining your home’s basement, exterior, and attic at LEAST once a year to look for new issues that may have been caused by weather.
