What mold removal work covers
Professional removal of mold-affected porous materials and remediation of contaminated areas as part of an appropriate restoration scope. NY1 evaluates the visible condition together with access, surrounding materials and related building systems before defining the scope.
Problems this service addresses
- Mold on drywall or insulation
- Mold after water damage
- Affected framing and cavities
- Recurring growth
- Contaminated finishes
Materials and options
Containment and protection materials
HEPA filtration and cleaning equipment
Dehumidification and air movement
Selective demolition materials
Drywall, insulation and finish materials for reconstruction
Technical considerations
- The moisture source must be addressed or recurrence is likely
- Containment and work-area protection depend on the affected materials and scope
- Drying decisions should be based on actual moisture conditions, not appearance alone
- Reconstruction should begin only after the affected assembly is ready for rebuilding
Dry, remove or reconstruct?
The correct scope depends on the material, how long it has been wet, the extent of contamination or deterioration, and whether the assembly can be dried and cleaned. Some finishes can remain; others may require selective removal followed by reconstruction.
What affects cost?
- Size of the affected area
- Type of material affected by moisture or mold
- Containment and equipment requirements
- Amount of selective demolition
- Drying time and moisture conditions
- Reconstruction required after remediation or water damage
Our process
- 1. Confirm remediation scope
- 2. Contain work area
- 3. Remove affected materials
- 4. Clean and dry remaining surfaces
- 5. Prepare area for reconstruction
