You smell or suspect mold
Start with an inspection. It finds where the growth is and what water is feeding it, and it tells you whether testing is worth paying for.

Short answer
Our Newark, NJ services fall into five groups: inspections that find mold and its water source, lab testing and air quality checks, contained mold removal, water and flood cleanup in the first days after water gets in, and the moisture fixes that stop mold coming back. If you are not sure which you need, a phone call usually settles it.
Which one do you need
Not sure which job you need? Start from what you are dealing with
Three common starting points. Each opens the page that usually comes first. For typical prices, see the cost guide.
Water just got in
Start with extraction and drying. Mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours, so the cleanup comes before any testing or removal decisions.
Start hereYou can see the mold already
Start with remediation. Visible growth with an obvious cause goes straight to a contained removal and a fix for the source.

Mold inspections
Inspections answer where mold is and why. We read every level with meters and a thermal camera, look inside cavities with a borescope, and trace the water to its source. Some inspections are shaped by who needs them: buyers inside a contingency, tenants and landlords, commercial managers, or anyone dealing with a leak or flood that just happened.
- Mold InspectionA room by room moisture survey that shows where mold is, where it will be next and what is feeding it.
- Home Buyer Mold InspectionFindings you can use inside an inspection contingency, written so a lawyer and a lender can read them.
- Pre-Listing Mold InspectionA check before the house goes on the market, so the buyer's inspector finds nothing you did not already know about.
- Apartment & Condo Mold InspectionDocumentation for tenants, landlords and associations when mold sits between two units or two parties.
- Commercial Mold InspectionInspections scheduled around business hours for offices, restaurants, schools and warehouses.
- Musty Smell InvestigationWhen the house smells musty and nothing is visible, we trace the odor to its wet source.
- HVAC Mold InspectionA look inside the air handler, coil, drain pan and ducts before mold rides the airflow room to room.
- Water Damage Mold AssessmentMoisture readings and a written scope in the first days after water gets in, before mold sets in.
Testing and air quality
Testing answers what and how much. Air, surface, bulk and dust samples go to an outside lab, and every air sample is compared with outdoor air taken the same day. Air quality readings cover humidity, ventilation, VOCs and particles. Clearance testing checks finished work, and a written protocol turns findings into a scope any crew can follow.
- Mold TestingAir, surface and bulk samples sent to a lab, with results explained in plain language.
- Indoor Air Quality TestingHumidity, ventilation, VOC and particle readings that explain why a room feels stale or damp.
- Black Mold TestingLab identification for dark growth, so you know which mold it is before anyone tears out a wall.
- ERMI Mold TestingDNA analysis of settled dust that reflects months of mold history, not a single afternoon.
- Mold Clearance TestingPost-remediation testing that shows whether the work area is clean before the plastic comes down.
- Thermal Imaging Moisture InspectionInfrared scanning confirmed with meters to map wet walls and ceilings without opening them.
- Mold Remediation ProtocolA written scope that any remediation crew can price and follow, with clearance criteria spelled out.
Mold removal
Removal is contained work: plastic barriers, negative air, HEPA cleaning and drying, room by room. The pages below cover the areas where mold grows most often, from basements and attics to kitchens and bathrooms, plus HVAC systems, commercial buildings and the belongings stored in affected rooms.
- Mold RemediationContained removal of moldy materials, HEPA cleaning and drying, then clearance before rebuild.
- Basement Mold RemovalRemoval of mold from finished basements, foundation walls and the framing above them.
- Attic Mold RemovalSheathing and rafter cleaning after the ventilation or bath fan problem that caused it is fixed.
- Crawl Space Mold RemovalCleaning joists and subfloor in crawl spaces, then sealing the ground so the damp does not return.
- Bathroom Mold RemovalCeiling, grout and behind-the-tile mold removed, with the ventilation problem fixed alongside.
- Drywall Mold RemovalOpening and removing moldy drywall inside containment, then drying the cavity before it closes.
- Kitchen Mold RemovalMold behind cabinets and appliances removed after slow kitchen leaks, cabinets saved where possible.
- HVAC & Duct Mold CleaningCleaning mold from the air handler and ducts, and replacing ductwork that cannot be cleaned.
- Commercial Mold RemediationPhased remediation in occupied buildings, with containment planned around your hours.
- Furniture & Contents Mold CleaningSorting what can be cleaned from what has to go, and HEPA cleaning what stays.
Water and flood cleanup
The first days after water gets in decide whether a house needs drying or mold removal. These jobs extract the water, remove what the water ruined, disinfect when the water was contaminated, and dry the structure with readings until it is back to normal.
- Basement Flood CleanupWater out, wet materials removed and drying started before mold has the two days it needs.
- Sewage Backup CleanupCategory 3 cleanup: extraction, removal of porous materials, disinfection and drying.
- Water Damage DryingExtraction and structural drying after clean water leaks, with readings until the materials are dry.
Moisture control
Mold comes back when the moisture does. These are the fixes that keep a cleaned space dry: dehumidifiers that drain themselves, sealed crawl spaces, bath fans vented outside, attic airflow corrections, and coatings applied to clean, dry wood.
- Basement Dehumidifier InstallationSizing and installing basement and whole house dehumidifiers that drain on their own.
- Crawl Space EncapsulationSealed liners, closed vents and a dehumidifier that keep a crawl space dry year round.
- Attic Ventilation CorrectionRerouting bath fans, opening soffits and sealing bypasses that feed attic condensation.
- Bathroom Exhaust Fan InstallationFans sized for the room and ducted outside, so bathroom moisture leaves the house.
- Mold Prevention TreatmentAntimicrobial and encapsulant coatings applied after cleaning, never instead of it.
How we work
The same four rules on every job
Moisture first
Every job starts with the water. Mold removed without fixing the source comes back.
Samples only when they matter
Lab work is added when a result would change the plan, not by default.
Contained work
Barriers and negative air keep spores in the work area and out of the rest of the house.
Dry and cleared before closing
Readings and clearance come before any wall is closed up again.
