Short answer
In Clinton Hill, Newark, NJ our mold work is mostly inspection and testing in older houses: musty rooms with no visible growth, leaks hidden behind walls, and documentation for owners and tenants in houses with more than one unit. We find the moisture first, sample only where it helps, and write findings everyone involved can use.
Clinton Hill conditions
An older, mostly residential neighborhood
Clinton Hill takes its name from the former Clinton Township, of which it was once part; Clinton Avenue is its main street, and Upper Clinton Hill is predominantly residential, home to approximately 15,376 people.
Across Newark, about 22.6 percent of the housing was built before 1939 and roughly another third between the 1940s and 1960s, and Clinton Hill's houses reflect that age. Older plumbing, original foundations and decades of renovations mean moisture often hides in walls and basements, which is why we start with readings rather than guesses.

What a Clinton Hill visit looks like
We start where the smell or stain is worst and work outward with meters and a thermal camera, checking plumbing walls, basements and ceilings under bathrooms. Samples are added only where a result would change the plan or settle a question between an owner and a tenant.
Every finding is photographed with its location, so the report can be shared with whoever needs it.
