Mold inspection and remediation for New Brunswick homes and rentals
New Brunswick sits on the Raritan, and Ida showed what that river can do. Flooded basements and ground floors, and a lot of rental housing, shape the mold work here.
Answering 24/7 from our Johnson St office in Newark
Short answer
In New Brunswick, NJ our mold work follows the Raritan River and the city's rental housing: flood cleanup and remediation after the river rises, and neutral inspections of apartments and multi-family houses for tenants and landlords. We come from our Newark office, map the moisture and remediate under containment with clearance before rebuild.
New Brunswick conditions
What the Raritan did during Ida
Ida's record rainfall caused flooding along the Raritan River, with extreme damage in Manville, New Brunswick, Somerville and South Bound Brook. In New Brunswick, Route 18 closed, and upstream the river at Bound Brook was forecast to crest at 42 feet against a 28-foot flood stage, above its 41.9-foot crest of August 2011.
Floods like that reach basements and ground floors well away from the riverbank, and river water is contaminated. After a flood, porous materials it touched come out, and walls are read above the visible line before anything is rebuilt.

What a New Brunswick visit looks like
In rental houses, we coordinate access with both the tenant and the owner and record findings by room and unit. After flooding, we measure the waterline, read above it and check shared basements and utility rooms.
Where a landlord needs proof the work is done, clearance testing is scheduled before walls are closed.
