Mold Inspector Near Me

Certified Inspections, Inc. has been the #1 most trusted leader in the mold field for 24 years, serving Cortlandt Manor with rapid response, comprehensive mold testing and action plan protocols and consultation on removing mold preventing future mold problems.

Nowadays, people are very aware of the dangers that mold can cause to your health, and rightfully so. It has been known to cause respiratory trouble, sore throats, asthma, emphysema, flulike symptoms, memory loss and cancer, just to name a few. What most people are not aware of, however, is how to tell if they have a mold problem in their home or business. The short answer is, you cannot know unless it is professionally tested with samples taken and submitted to a lab for analysis. Even after that has been done, only an experienced, knowledgeable expert can know how to interpret the lab’s results and understand how to proceed if a problem is indeed present.

Some clients have asked me if those home-testing kits you buy at Home Depot are valid, and I tell them, “absolutely not!” They are a waste of money because they are nothing but auger that will always form mold, but there is no outside baseline to measure the growth against. In other words, whatever is found is meaningless.

Cortlandt Manor Inspector Near Me 

mold inspector in Cortlandt Manor or anywhere in New York is now officially called a “mold assessor,” and must be licensed. They can only do inspections and testing, but no remediation. A mold remediator must also now be licensed and they cannot do any mold testing or assessments, and most importantly, they cannot do anything without a mold assessment first being done. So the bottom line is that we are the first ones to call when mold is suspected.

Another interesting fact about mold is that many times clients are 100% positive they have black mold because they can see it on the wall or smell it. The truth of the matter is that you can’t believe everything you see! Sometimes when I test black spots on a wall or in an attic, the black stuff turns out to have no mold in it at all. The lab will only report on what you specifically test for, so they will not tell you what everything is, but sometimes it’s yeast, sometimes dirt, carbon, or some other mysterious substance. As for the smell, the same musty odor that mold sometimes gives off is found in all cellulose, such as wet paper or cardboard.

So sometimes a moldy smell is not mold at all, and conversely, sometimes terrible mold conditions occur without any odor at all being present!

Real Customers. Really Great Reviews.

Great Advice!

“I had an unknown plumbing issue in my office that was going on for quite some time and caused some water damage on my flooring. Once I realized what was happening, I panicked thinking my office was covered in mold! I had no experience with these issues, and immediately found Certified Inspections on google and gave them a call. Mark was AMAZING! He is so knowledgable and gave me great advice right away! He even answered my questions about my insurance and what could possibly be covered with my policy! So thankful!”

Saved Us Thousands!

“When we were selling our house, the buyer’s home inspector told us we had a bad mold problem in the attic, but he never did any testing. We called Certified Inspections and they took several samples and found that the black stuff on the wood wasn’t even mold. They saved us thousands of dollars in cleaning costs and the deal went through. Thank you to Mark and Certified Inspections!!”

Mark is Amazing!

“Mark answers the calls and is so easy to reach. He was so informative, it was amazing. After having 2 mold tests done with different companies, we contacted Certified Inspections for an objective third party opinion Mark stayed on the phone with us for more than 30 minutes thoroughly going over everything and explaining what we should be concerned about. Thank you so much for being so helpful and kind during this time, and resolving our problem once and for all!”

Jeff L. | Westchester County, NY

Highly Recommend!

“When we thought we had mold because our kids were getting sick all the time, we called Certified Inspections. Mark inspected our house from top to bottom and took a lot of time to explain everything to us in detail, including the fact that testing is required before remediation can be done, so that there is no conflict of interest, and so unnecessary work wouldn’t get done, or get done the wrong way. I greatly admire his kindness, honesty, and integrity. After he finished, we were confident we would never have another mold problem again. I highly recommend working with this company if you want the job done right by someone you can trust.”

Ted K. | Manhattan, NY

Huge Help!

“I was worried that my recent health issues were caused by mold so I called the folks at Certified Inspections who were recommended to me by my friend. They spent a long time on the phone with me asking me about my symptoms and various things about my house and workplace, and concluded that mold could not be a cause of my illness. They directed me to the proper specialist who diagnosed and treated me. I feel much better now and Certified never even charged me for the invaluable consultation!”

Karen S. | Chappaqua, NY
