NYC Mold Testing (Common Problem Areas)
Many windows are poorly installed and sometimes they are defective, allowing moisture to get in. Sometimes it is the resident’s fault for leaving windows open during rainstorms. Bathrooms and kitchens, like anywhere else, pose higher risks for mold due to the greater moisture content. In NYC apartments, oftentimes bathrooms and kitchens do not have adequate ventilation systems that carry the moist air to the outside of the building. And last, Mold Problems can develop from people watering plants or washing floors. Water spills from the plant-watering process and excess water on the floor can cause mold to grow.
What Is Stack Effect?
I have found mold problems in apartments and condos caused by bathroom leaks from the unit above them. I have also found mold problems caused by water vapor migrating upward from a lower unit due to what is called the “stack effect,” as air tends to move upward through a building.
People incorrectly assume that unless they see black spots on surfaces, they couldn’t possibly have a mold problem. Mold growth inside the living space can be visibly undetectable as the spores can proliferate in the air. Millions of microscopic-sized spores can float around in the air currents and when they are inhaled by people, can cause symptoms ranging from respiratory disorders such as asthma, emphysema and flulike symptoms to more severe problems such as memory loss and cancer.

Testing Is Important
Spores tend to move around in clumps of concentration by the air currents. They are not equally distributed throughout any single space, therefore multiple samples are required to be taken in order to find them.
It is vital to have one’s home or workspace tested for mold by a licensed mold assesor such as the experts at Certified Inspections, Inc. By taking air samples, we can determine whether you have a problem and if so, what caused it and how to remedy it. If we don’t find that you have a problem, you can have peace of mind!
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!”

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.”

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!”
