Mold inspection and removal for Morris County homes
Morris County mold calls look like classic house problems. Basements that stay damp, attics that frost in winter, crawl spaces under additions and purchase inspections inside a contingency.
Answering 24/7 from our Johnson St office in Newark
Short answer
In Morris County, NJ our mold work is mostly basement, attic and crawl space moisture, plus inspections for buyers and sellers. Heavy rain events that hit northern New Jersey still flood basements here, and we inspect, test and remove mold across the county from our Newark office, with the line answered 24/7.
Morris County conditions
Heavy rain and damp basements in the hills
When Ida came through in 2021, it dropped 8 to 11 inches of rain across a corridor of northern and central New Jersey, and homes well away from any river took water through foundations and window wells. Storms like that leave damp basements behind even where the ground never flooded.
In New Jersey homes with finished basements, crawl spaces under additions and older attics, that moisture turns into the mold we remove most often: behind basement paneling, on crawl space joists and on the underside of the roof deck in winter.
