Back-bay flood marks
Water lines and wet insulation in lower units.
Atlantic City shares Absecon Island with our Margate City head office. Back-bay flooding, salt air and units that sit empty for months shape the work here.

In Atlantic City, NJ our mold work is led from our Margate City head office on the same island: cleanup after back-bay and storm flooding, inspections of condos and houses that sit closed for part of the year, and humidity control near the water. The inspector line is the same, and so are our containment and clearance standards.
NWS coastal flood thresholds for the Atlantic City tide gauge show flooding beginning along the back bays of Atlantic City and Ventnor at 6.2 feet, and in Margate at 6.4 feet. Sandy damaged oceanfront properties on southern Absecon Island and caused major back-bay flooding in Brigantine, just across the inlet.
On the island, homes near the back bays are the ones most exposed to flooding. Condos and houses that sit closed between seasons bring a quieter problem: humid, still air that grows mold on mattresses, closets and furniture while nobody is there.

See the jobAfter flooding, we measure how high the water reached and remove what it soaked, since back-bay water is contaminated. For closed-up units, we check soft furnishings, closets on outside walls and the HVAC system before anyone moves back in.
Condo associations get findings separated by unit and common area.
