Mold Removal & Remediation in Schenectady, NY

Remediation is the physical removal of mold growth and any material it has compromised — not simply cleaning or painting over a visible spot, which does not address growth that has spread into the material itself.

Containment Comes First

Before any removal begins, the affected area is sealed off with physical containment barriers and run under negative air pressure with HEPA filtration, so spores disturbed during the work do not spread to unaffected parts of the property.

What Gets Removed vs. Treated

Porous material with significant growth — drywall, insulation, carpet padding — is typically removed and replaced rather than cleaned, since mold roots into porous material in a way that surface cleaning cannot fully reach. Non-porous surfaces like framing lumber, tile, and concrete are treated with an antimicrobial and HEPA-vacuumed rather than removed.

Following IICRC S520 Protocol

Work follows the IICRC S520 industry standard for mold remediation, which sets the containment, PPE, and clearance-testing requirements for the job — this is the same standard whether the source was a slow leak, a storm, or long-term humidity common to Schenectady's climate.

Scheduling & Pricing
