Mold can develop for a variety of reasons, including water leaks, flooding, high humidity levels, condensation, and poor ventilation. Hiring a professional is advisable when a mold problem is extensive, potentially hazardous, or beyond what can be safely managed with DIY methods. Our mold abatement and remediation services are designed to safely and effectively eliminate mold growth, repair underlying conditions, and restore your property back to its original state.

In New York State, if you decide to have someone assess and remediate an area with more than 10 square feet of mold, the Department of Labor (DOL) requires you to hire a licensed Mold Assessor to first perform an inspection and then a licensed Mold Remediation Contractor to perform the cleanup work.

At Mulberry Restoration, our experienced and licensed mold remediation experts work together with you and the Mold Assessor to develop a comprehensive mold remediation work plan, ensuring that all affected areas are thoroughly contained to prevent the spread of spores, and all mold colonies and mold-contaminated materials are properly removed. We follow stringent work safety protocols to protect our team, our clients, and other occupants in the building.

Per Local Law 55 of 2018, owners of residential buildings in New York City with 3 or more dwelling units are responsible for keeping their tenants’ apartments mold free from mold and fixing conditions that lead to mold. When mold conditions are identified in a building with 3 or more dwellings, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) may issue a mold violation to the property owner. Depending on the size of the building and the type of violation, owners may be required to use both a licensed Mold Assessor and a licensed Mold Remediator in order to correct and certify the violation.

If you need help addressing mold conditions in your building or removing an HPD mold violation, contact Mulberry Restoration today! Our licensed mold remediation team will help ensure that violations are correctly resolved and removed.

Mold and mildew thrive in damp and poorly ventilated environments, making them a prevalent issue for homeowners. Common causes include high humidity levels, water leaks, poor ventilation, condensation, and flooding, which create ideal conditions for mold and mildew to grow on various surfaces within a home.

The presence of mold may cause significant structural damage over time by breaking down materials like wood and drywall. In addition, mold spores can become airborne and pose health risks, particularly to individuals with allergies, asthma, or compromised immune systems. Exposure to mold can lead to respiratory problems, nasal congestion, skin and eye irritation, among other health issues.

To protect your property from problems associated with mold, it’s essential to address excess moisture and improve ventilation in your home. Prompt remediation measures are necessary to prevent further damage and safeguard the health of occupants.
