The Importance of Mold Remediation

Even if mold isn't visible, it can still be present and dangerous. Hidden mold in walls, crawl spaces, basements, or HVAC systems can weaken structural materials and negatively affect indoor air quality. Left untreated, it leads to long-term property damage, health risks, and costly repairs.

Dangers of Untreated Mold:

  • Respiratory Issues & Allergies
  • Persistent Headaches & Fatigue
  • Skin Irritation & Eye Inflammation
  • Structural Damage to Wood & Insulation
  • Decreased Property Value
  • Risk of Toxic Mold Exposure (e.g., Stachybotrys)

Mold thrives wherever there is moisture. Caused by flooding, poor ventilation, or hidden leaks, we identify the moisture source and eliminate the problem at its root.

Our Mold Remediation Process

On The Spot Cleaners brings over 22 years of experience and follows strict NYS and EPA mold remediation standards to ensure complete, compliant mold removal.

Step-by-Step Mold Remediation Process:

  1. 1

    Inspection & Testing

    We inspect affected areas and, when needed, coordinate third-party testing to confirm the presence and type of mold.

  2. 2

    Containment & Air Filtration

    We isolate contaminated areas with negative air pressure and HEPA-filtered air scrubbers to prevent cross-contamination.

  3. 3

    Mold Removal

    We remove mold-infested materials (drywall, insulation, carpeting) and clean salvageable surfaces using EPA-registered antimicrobial agents.

  4. 4

    Sanitization & Deodorizing

    We apply a disinfectant treatment affected spaces and apply treatments to neutralize odors and inhibit mold regrowth.

  5. 5

    Drying & Prevention

    Using commercial drying equipment, we remove lingering moisture and provide solutions to prevent future outbreaks.

  6. 6

    Final Clearance & Documentation

    We perform a post-remediation inspection and provide detailed reports for your records or insurance.

Common Places Mold Can Grow

Mold can grow on virtually any surface where moisture exists. The most common problem areas include:

Crawl Spaces
Basements & Attics
Bathrooms & Kitchens
HVAC Systems & Air Ducts
Window Frames
Wallpaper & Insulation
Carpeting & Upholstery
Ceiling Tiles & Drywall

Even if you can't see it, mold in your crawl space or behind your walls may be actively damaging your home's structure or impacting your health.

Where And How Does Mold Happen?

Mold can grow in any area of your home or office that is exposed to moisture. Mold can grow on any surface, including wood, paper, carpet, and food. Mold can also grow in dust, paint, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery.

Common Types of Mold in Homes

Knowing the type of mold present can help guide the remediation strategy. Here are some of the most common types found in homes and offices:

Cladosporium

Found on painted walls, HVAC vents, wallpaper, carpet, and mattress dust.

Alternaria

Appears on tiles, bricks, wallpaper, and canvas; often triggered by water damage.
