Mold inspection and removal for Hackensack homes and apartments
Hackensack sits on the river it is named after, behind low berms. The neighborhoods near the water see flood work; the rest of the city sees the apartment and basement mold of any older North Jersey city.

Short answer
In Hackensack, NJ our mold work covers flood cleanup near the Hackensack River, where low berms offer limited protection, and ordinary mold problems in apartments, basements and older houses across the city. We come from our Newark office, map the moisture first and remove mold under containment when it is needed.
Hackensack conditions
A river city with low protection
The old mosquito-control berms that protect Little Ferry, Moonachie and Hackensack average only about 5 feet above sea level. During Sandy, a tidal surge up the Hackensack River overtopped the berm and flooded Moonachie and Little Ferry, with water reaching 5 feet within 45 minutes in Moonachie.
Hackensack's riverside neighborhoods share that exposure. After a storm surge or heavy rain, the water is contaminated and the cleanup follows that standard. Away from the river, the work is the familiar mix of apartment bathrooms, leaks between units and finished basements.

What a Hackensack visit looks like
We ask whether the property is near the river and whether it has flooded before, because that changes where we look first. In apartment buildings, we trace water across units and shared spaces and record findings by unit.
Commercial spaces are scheduled around business hours when containment is needed.
