Mold Inspection & Remediation in Brooklyn NY | Five Boro Mold Specialist

Hardwood floor water damage is a frequent issue in Brooklyn, often from burst pipes or freeze-thaw cycles. We start with a non-invasive inspection using infrared thermography to map moisture under the floor without pulling up planks. Then, we use industrial drying equipment and antimicrobial treatments to prevent mold growth. If mold is present, we seal off the area, remove contaminated material, and apply a sealer. We work with your building's layout to minimize disruption, and we coordinate with your super or landlord when needed.

First, we perform a visual inspection and use particle counters to measure spore levels indoors vs. outdoors. If we find mold, we set up containment with negative air pressure to prevent spores from spreading. We remove moldy materials (like drywall or insulation) carefully, clean all surfaces with HEPA vacuums and antimicrobials, and treat the area with a botanical moldicide. After remediation, we do a clearance test to confirm the air is safe. Finally, we advise on moisture control—like fixing leaks or improving crawl space ventilation—to prevent recurrence.

Yes. Crawl space moisture is common in Brooklyn neighborhoods close to the East River, like Williamsburg or Greenpoint. Our process includes sealing crawl space vents, installing a vapor barrier, and using dehumidifiers to keep humidity below 50%. We also check for signs of mold behind insulation and in floor joists. For freeze-thaw damage, we inspect for pipe insulation failures and recommend repairs. We work with your building's layout—whether it's a brownstone or a prewar co-op—to keep your crawl space dry and mold-free.
