Mold & Water Damage Restoration in Westchester County, NY

Basement mold is a moisture problem first. Restoration and mold companies dry out water-damaged areas, remove affected materials, contain and clean mold, and in New York State, licensed mold assessors and remediators generally handle projects larger than ten square feet under Labor Law Article 32. Fix the water source or the mold will return.

What to know in Westchester

New York's mold law generally requires a licensed mold assessor to write the plan and clear the job, and a separate licensed remediation contractor to do the work, so the same company should not be both on one project. You can check license status in the NYS Department of Labor's open dataset. Listings here that carry a mold license note the number and expiry we saw, but always re-check before hiring. Mold work in a Westchester home can also require the county home improvement license.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a licensed contractor for basement mold?

In New York, mold assessment and remediation on areas larger than about ten contiguous square feet generally require licensed professionals under Labor Law Article 32. Ask for the license number and check it with the NYS Department of Labor.

Can I clean mold myself?

The EPA says small areas can often be cleaned by homeowners, while larger areas may warrant professional help. Either way the moisture source must be fixed.

Does insurance cover mold?

Coverage varies by policy and cause. Sudden events like a burst pipe are treated differently from long-term seepage. Ask your agent before you start work.
