Professional Mold Remediation Projects in Bergen County
When mold exceeds 10 square feet or hides in HVAC systems and wall cavities, professional containment and HEPA filtration protocols are required. We follow IICRC S520 standards for safe, complete removal.
Widespread Basement Mold After Chronic Flooding
Years of recurring basement moisture created extensive black mold covering walls, floor joists, and HVAC ductwork. Contamination exceeded 100 sq ft across multiple surfaces, requiring full containment with negative air machines and protective barriers.
Our Solutions:
- 6-mil poly containment barriers with negative air pressure
- HEPA air scrubbers prevent cross-contamination
- Remove contaminated drywall, insulation, and ductwork
- Treat framing with EPA-approved antimicrobial coating
HVAC System Distributes Mold Throughout Home
Mold growth in the HVAC air handler spread spores to every room through ductwork, causing respiratory complaints and visible growth on vents. System contamination required full remediation with duct cleaning and air handler replacement.
Our Solutions:
- Seal HVAC system and register vents during containment
- Professional duct cleaning removes spore buildup
- Air handler coil cleaning or replacement
- Post-remediation air quality testing verifies success
Multi-Room Mold from Undetected Plumbing Leak
A slow leak in second-floor bathroom plumbing spread undetected for months, causing mold growth in two bathrooms, a bedroom closet, and first-floor ceiling cavities. Over 150 sq ft of contamination required coordinated multi-zone containment.
Our Solutions:
- Isolate each affected zone with separate containments
- Remove wet drywall, insulation, and ceiling materials
- HEPA vacuum all exposed framing and studs
- Antimicrobial application prevents regrowth

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
How do I know if I need mold remediation or just cleaning?
If mold covers more than 10 square feet, is growing inside walls or HVAC systems, or resulted from sewage or contaminated water, professional remediation is required per EPA and IICRC guidelines. Small surface mold (less than 10 sq ft on non-porous surfaces) may be cleanable with household products, but hidden moisture sources often require professional assessment. We provide free inspections to determine the right scope for your situation.
How long does mold remediation take?
Small projects (one room, localized growth) typically take 1-3 days for containment, removal, and air scrubbing. Larger projects involving multiple rooms, attics, or crawl spaces may require 5-7 days. Post-remediation clearance testing adds 2-3 days for lab analysis. We'll provide a detailed timeline during the initial assessment and keep you updated daily on progress.
Can I stay in my home during mold remediation?
It depends on the scope. For localized projects with proper containment and negative air, occupancy is often safe in unaffected areas. However, extensive contamination, immune-compromised occupants, or children under 2 years old may warrant temporary relocation for 3-5 days. We follow IICRC S520 guidelines and prioritize your family's safety when advising on occupancy.
Will mold come back after remediation?
Mold only returns if moisture returns. Our remediation removes existing growth and treats surfaces with antimicrobials, but long-term prevention requires fixing the moisture source: roof leaks, plumbing leaks, poor ventilation, or high humidity. We identify these issues during assessment and provide recommendations (dehumidifiers, ventilation improvements, waterproofing) to keep your home mold-free.
What materials need to be removed during mold remediation?
Porous materials contaminated by mold must be removed per IICRC S520: drywall, insulation, carpet, ceiling tiles, and cardboard. Non-porous materials (wood framing, concrete, tile) can often be cleaned and treated in place. We document all removals with photos for insurance claims and coordinate proper disposal per local codes.
Do you provide clearance testing after mold remediation?
We offer post-remediation clearance testing as an optional service. While we provide a thorough final inspection and visual clearance, third-party air sampling and lab analysis (typically $300-500) offers independent verification that spore counts have returned to normal levels. Many insurance companies and real estate transactions require clearance testing—we coordinate with certified labs and provide written reports.
