Buying a NYC Building with Mold – What You Need to Know

Make Sure You Have a Mold Inspection Before You Buy that Building

The air we all breathe can have a significant effect on our health and overall wellbeing. While outdoor air pollution may get a lot of attention, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 4.3 million people die every year due to indoor air pollution.

Mold is a common problem that often grows and spreads unnoticed for years. Mold in a dwelling or workplace can cause respiratory problems, allergies, rashes, and even more serious health problems for occupants. There are a few things you should know about buying a NYC building that has mold and about NYC mold removal.

Identifying a mold problem

To some degree, mold exists in all buildings. Mold spores are microscopic organisms that ride air currents. There are more mold spores in warm moist air than cold air. To thrive and spread, mold needs the right temperature, an organic food source (wood, paper, or leaves), and moisture.

The ideal temperature for mold is also a comfortable temperature for people. A moisture problem inside any building will almost certainly lead to mold. Spores are too small to be seen with the naked eye, but you may notice a musty smell or see mold growing on surfaces inside the building.

If you suspect a building you own or are thinking of buying has a mold issue, contact a certified mold inspector for a thorough evaluation.

Can Mold Come Back After Remediation on Your NYC Property?

Can Mold Come Back After Treatment?

Can Mold Come Back After Treatment?

Before you bring in professional mold remediators, you might be wondering what to expect regarding how long NYC mold removal will last. The inspection and remediation seem like an expensive and invasive process, so obviously you would like to keep the mold away for many years to come. Ideally, forever!

The good news is that modern technology makes the mold removal process simpler, cheaper, and more effective. Without ripping out drywall or wood, Stern Mold can make your building mold-free, guaranteed for up to 5 years.

Nobody can honestly guarantee that mold will never come back. Unless you seal up the building and never enter it again, mold can potentially return for several reasons:

– Mold problems start with spores, which exist virtually everywhere on the planet.

– Mold spores can grow into an infestation anytime they have water, oxygen, and food.

– Permanent mold removal must include dealing with the underlying causes (leaks, dripping water, outdoor moisture getting inside) in addition to thorough cleaning.

How Can Stern Mold Guarantee NYC Mold Removal?

Traditional mold remediation does not necessarily prevent mold from growing back. Stern Mold does not rely on old-fashioned mold remediation!

We use a two-part MoldExterm system of antimicrobial cleaning and a polymer-based sealant. The sealant encapsulates any remaining spores and makes it virtually impossible for mold to grow there ever again.

In addition to our MoldExterm sealant, we can install dehumidifiers to prevent new or recurring issues. This complete solution lets you breathe easier and enjoy peace of mind that your mold problems are in the past!

Know the Unexpected Places Mold Can Grow in Your NJ Home

Mold Infestations Are Dangerous

Mold Infestations Are Dangerous

People tend to look for mold in the places where it’s highly visible. It’s easy to spot mold under the kitchen sink or on basement walls. You need to know the less obvious hiding places for mold because a colony can regenerate and spread if you leave spores behind!

HouseLogic has rounded up “sneaky” places that warrant a mold inspection:

– Air conditioners (both central and window units)

– Dishwashers, dishes, and other kitchen items

– Window seams and seals

– Washing machines

– Refrigerator drip pans

– Chimneys (and other brick structures)

It may help to know what mold smells like because it’s not always visible. Family members should all know the symptoms of mold illness and not ignore a cough or wheezing problem, especially if mold has been suspected or found or if a flooding issue or moisture leak has occurred in the home.

What to Do if You Find Mold

Pause for a moment before acting on the natural urge to grab bleach or multipurpose spray and try to clean mold yourself. Focus on detoxifying from mold exposure and call a professional NJ mold removal service for an inspection.

Stern Mold provides a no-obligation inspection and quote. We guarantee firm, upfront pricing without hidden fees later. We find the mold, then use MoldExterm to kill it and seal the surfaces for future protection.

Other NJ mold removal companies might fail you by failing to get rid of the mold in the long run, or resorting to expensive gutting and remodeling. Stern Mold simply finds the mold and prevents it from growing back!

In NYC, Are Indoor and Outdoor Mold Allergies Seasonal?

Mold - What You Really Need to Know

Mold – What You Really Need to Know

Anyone who suffers from an allergy knows how frustrating it can be. People who made it through their childhood without any allergies can still develop adult-onset allergies later in life. Some may have allergies to certain foods, pollen, animal dander, and mold.

People who are allergic to mold spores may have to deal with symptoms year-round. Some mold spores are more likely to spread in dry windy conditions. Other types of spores move with fog and dew when humidity is high.

Indoor mold can grow year-round

While most outdoor molds will become inactive during cold months, indoor molds can thrive throughout the year. If mold has some organic material like wood or dry-wall paper, moisture, and the right temperature, it will continue to grow and create more spores. Unfortunately, mold likes the same temperature (60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit) people maintain inside their homes, offices, and other businesses. If you suspect you may have mold, call the NYC mold removal experts at Stern Mold right away.

Symptoms of a mold allergy

For many people, molds spores cause symptoms similar to those of other allergies: runny nose, sore throat, sneezing, itchy eyes, and skin rashes. If mold spores enter the lungs, they can cause asthma attacks. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that prolonged exposure to mold spores can lead to asthma in otherwise healthy children.

Stern Mold is part of the Stern Environmental network and has been providing NYC mold removal for commercial and residential clients since 1995. Or MoldExterm method can resolve your mold problem quickly and for a fraction of the cost of traditional mold removal methods. Contact us today.

How MoldExterm Saves You Money

Stern’s MoldExterm costs less than mold remediation, and that’s just the beginning of the advantages.

Remediation means hiring a contractor to rip out your walls! So, in addition to the cost of the service, you’re potentially racking up a fortune in remodeling, debris disposal, displaced tenants in rental properties, and other incidental costs.

Our MoldExterm cost can beat your remediation quote by 20% because it’s much simpler. Our two-step process kills mold and then adds a protective layer. There’s no extra cost for you besides perhaps a fresh stain or coat of paint.

Save Now, Stay Protected for Longer

Traditional remediation rips out the walls, but does not address the underlying problem. Spores are everywhere! It’s the moisture and nutrients in paper, wood, and drywall that cause mold to grow. Your mold problem might come roaring back soon after mold remediation.

Stern Mold can offer up to a 5-year warranty because of the patented polymer seal that sterilizes the surface and prevents mold growth.
