Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
Our home inspection flagged mold. These folks remediated it and gave us the clearance letter we needed to close.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Shirley, NY homes
Mold Inspection in Shirley tends to start the same way mold does across Suffolk County: roof and plumbing leaks in Shirley homes that feed hidden mold for months before anyone notices. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Mastic, Mastic Beach, Moriches and the rest of Shirley call us.
We handle mold inspection for Shirley the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Westhampton Beach, about 20 minutes from our Westhampton Beach base, so we can usually reach a Shirley home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Our crew has done Mold Inspection across Suffolk County enough to know how plumbing leaks and poor ventilation moves through these homes.

Good to know
Mold Inspection in Shirley, NY: common questions
Do I need visible mold to get an inspection?
No, many inspections happen because of a musty smell, past water damage, or just wanting a clear picture before a renovation or home purchase.
What's the difference between an inspection and testing?
An inspection is a visual and moisture-based assessment. Testing involves collecting samples for lab analysis, which we offer as a separate or add-on service.
What happens if the inspection finds mold?
We'll explain what we found and what remediation would involve, so you can decide how to move forward with clear information.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after mold inspection?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Shirley home.
How long does a mold inspection take?
It depends on the size of the home, but most residential inspections take a couple of hours to cover the high-risk areas thoroughly.
Can an inspection help with a real estate transaction?
Yes, documented findings from an inspection can support decisions during a home purchase or sale where mold history is a concern.

We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Shirley home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
