"Charles Schwartz was available immediately for us when we called. We met him the next day, and he did an extremely thorough mold inspection/assessment of the house we were planning to buy. He tested the surfaces and the air for mold. We were able to determine what type of mold it was, where it was located, the extent of the problem, the cause of the problem and a plan to remediate. He was highly professional and scientific. He was patient with us, available to answer our questions, and thorough in his report. We felt very much able to trust his advice, and now have a plan in terms of moving forward with what we will need the seller to do in order to properly remediate the problem. We would definitely highly recommend his services."

Customers say: True professional

"I am so grateful to Johnnie and Chris from Mid Hudson Home Restoration! My husband and I hired them on two separate occasions. First hire - there was water damage in the basement and possible mold. I consulted with Johnnie over the phone and he quickly arranged for a visit. He quoted us that the work will be done in 3-5 days. Johnnie and Chris carefully took apart the dry wall, remediated the mold, and sealed everything up again in the timeframe they promised. They also repainted our entire basement and did a great phenomenal job. Second hire - we had a ceiling leak from an unknown source. Johnnie cleared his schedule for us and came immediately once he saw the video we sent. He found the source of the leak within minutes and over the next couple days, replacing the ceiling and sealed everything up. Johnnie and Chris are detail oriented and thorough with their work. Above all, they are warm, honest people who truly care and take pride in what they do."

"I was skeptical at first after I did some research the company was formed 3 years ago. But then things changed I recommend P and M Mold Pro (Presley) he is the guy that knows what he is doing very professional everything was top notch. Not only did he and his team consistently show up on time, but they finished the project early. Everything turned out great and was done very clean."

"From the first discussion with owner, Rob Ky, I felt confident that Certified Mold Removal Inc. was the right company for the job at my residence. From the actual testing of the mold, air samples, and everything is between-they were very thorough and efficient. Each and every associate that I worked with was not only extremely professional but genuinely cared about rectifying the situation that myself and my family were dealing with. They quickly and efficiently remediated the mold that was in and under the flooring in my home. Tom and his crew went above and beyond to make sure that I understood the process and was satisfied with the end result, which was of course no more mold! This was more than just throwing bleach on the floor and calling it a day, they made sure that the mold was completely cleaned and removed from the floor so that my family could return to a safe and healthy home. They even went as far as to fog the house so that any remaining mold particles were removed from the air. Mold remediation is extremely stressful and while I hope that I never have to go through this again, I would absolutely go to Certified Mold Removal, Inc. Thank you again for all your help and guidance throughout this process! 10 star service!"

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Yes, drywall mud can get moldy—though the presence of moisture is required for this to happen. That’s why the best way to keep your powdered drywall mud fresh for as long as possible is to keep it in dry storage conditions. If you live in a humid area, it might not make sense to stockpile a lot of powdered drywall mud before you’re ready to use it. As for premixed drywall mud, avoid opening the container until you’re ready to use it—and don’t expect it to last longer than six months.

Black mold and wood rot are both types of fungi that thrive in damp areas, but they are distinct issues with different consequences. Wood rot specifically refers to the decay of wood caused by fungi, which compromises the wood's structural integrity. Black mold, on the other hand, is a fungus that grows on the surface of materials, including both rotting and non-rotting wood. The primary difference is their impact: wood rot affects the wood's structure, while toxic black mold is a health hazard. Inhaling black mold spores can cause severe respiratory issues, whereas wood rot spores are generally not harmful to people. Because mold can grow on rotting wood, the two issues can be interconnected, but they are not the same.

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.

The cost for mold remediation typically ranges from $1,125 to $3,350, with a national average of around $2,400. The final price depends on various factors, including the location and square footage of the affected area, the type of mold, and local labor costs.

Additional factors that influence the total cost include:

  • Extent of Damage: The overall price can increase significantly if extensive repairs are needed after mold removal, such as replacing large sections of drywall. Removing mold from a small area of drywall might cost between $300 and $825, but full wall replacement is more expensive.

  • Health Risks: The cost is also justified by the health risks associated with toxic mold, which can cause respiratory distress, act as carcinogens, or even damage the nervous system.

  • Comprehensive Service: Remediation involves not only removing the mold but also addressing the moisture issues that caused it to prevent future growth.

  • Testing and Air Quality: The need for safety testing and measures to improve indoor air quality can also add to the cost.

For an accurate estimate, it is best to consult a mold removal specialist who can assess the specifics of your situation.

Pressure-treated wood offers some protection from the elements but doesn’t protect against mold. However, if you spot mold growing on pressure-treated wood, it doesn’t indicate rot or an interior fungal infection—the treatment process ensures that the mold stays on the exterior. Keep the wood dry, but if you spot some mold, remove it immediately and clean the area.
