What it costs

Every job is different, so these are the typical New York ranges. They are planning numbers, not a quote. Your price depends on how much mold there is, where it is, and what caused it.
A single moldy spot, a closet, or under a sink. The crew seals it off, removes it, and treats the surface.
A bathroom, kitchen, or bedroom with mold on a wall or ceiling, plus the moisture source fixed.
Larger areas that need more containment and drying. Common here after spring rain or a slow leak.
Mold across several rooms or after major water damage. The work runs in phases, room by room.

What a mold inspection involves

When to schedule an inspection

- Recent water damage, a leak, or a history of flooding
- Before finishing a basement or crawl space
- Real estate transactions where mold history is a concern

Crawl spaces, including those with radon systems, are examined for potential moisture traps, and humidifier connections and ductwork are checked for condensation.
- Basement additions in older Southold homes
- Radon mitigation crawl space sealing and ventilation
- Swamp cooler duct penetrations and condensation points
- Grading and drainage around the foundation
The outcome of an inspection
The result is a clear document of findings, their locations, and implications, including a written remediation scope if needed. If remediation is not warranted, you still receive documentation. The service is available 24/7 with a confirmed price set before the visit.
