Mold inspection and removal for Union City apartments and homes
Union City is one of the densest places in the country, and its mold work follows the buildings. Stacked apartments, shared walls and a shared sewer mean one leak rarely stays in one unit.
Answering 24/7 from our Johnson St office in Newark
Short answer
In Union City, NJ our mold work centers on multi-family buildings: ceiling leaks between floors, apartment bathrooms with weak ventilation, and basement backups on a combined sewer shared with Hoboken and its neighbors. We come from our Newark office, trace the water across units and document it for tenants, owners and managers alike.
Union City conditions
A sewer shared with the Hudson waterfront
The North Hudson Sewerage Authority treats wastewater from Union City along with Hoboken, Weehawken and West New York, and it all moves through combined pipes that carry stormwater and sewage together. When that system is overloaded, as it was during Sandy, rain and sewage back up into the lowest openings in buildings.
In Union City, those lowest openings are often basement laundry rooms, storage areas and ground-floor units. A backup there is a sewage cleanup, and in a building full of apartments it usually affects more than one household at a time.

How we work in Union City buildings
We plan access on the call: the affected apartment, the one above if water is coming down, and the basement if drains are involved. In occupied buildings we schedule around tenants and post notices when work is needed in shared spaces.
Every finding is recorded by unit and location, so the report works for whoever has to pay for the repair.
