New Jersey's
Mold Removal Expert

If you’ve Got Mold, the first thing to do is “Don’t Panic”! Mold is one of the most common living organisms on the planet. As we become more informed about our environment, many people are surprised to learn that they have been living with mold for years.

But that doesn’t mean we have to live with it in our home. When mold invades your home and the normal fungal ecology gets out of hand, you can be faced with property damage and ill health effects. So start by asking questions.

Mold Works

GreenWorks understands mold & how it interacts with your indoor environment. This is crucial in addressing mold and in maintaining a healthy home environment. Mold is associated with a food source and a moisture trigger like a damp basement or crawl space, foundation water stains, re-current water leaks, musty odors and poorly ventilated attics.

Step 1 - Mold Assessment

If you see fungal growth, detect a musty odor or have water intrusion then you probably have mold. The Mold Assessment involves an inspection for visible colony growth, sampling of moldy suspects / air sampling of non-visible spores, identification of the underlying moisture trigger and recommendations to correct the problem in a formal report of findings.

Step 2 – Mold Remediation

Using the mold assessment report of findings, a separate mold remediation contractor cleans the affected area(s) with an antimicrobial agent and an encapsulant. Permeable materials may need to be demolished and the area restored.

Step 3 – Clearance Testing

To be sure the area has been returned to normal fungal ecology, a round of Clearance Testing is done after remediation to re-create the original tests. If normalcy is not attained, the area is remediated again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are There Any Special Considerations When Dealing With Mold in a Remodeled Homes?

Greenworks LLCRemodeled homes often wind up concealing a lot of the clues we look for when we assess for mold making the issues often difficult to find. Take for instance an older 1940's home recently renovated where the attic was converted to a master bedroom (now we can't see the underside of the roof) and the rear porch was enclosed (has an inaccessible crawl space and enclosed cathedral ceiling with failing ridge vent). More time and some invasive investigating / sampling is often necessary.

Can I Use Bleach to Clean Mold?

Flood Duct - GWEScrubbing molded areas with a detergent and water and then drying the area thoroughly often works for small areas of mold. Using bleach is not recommended as it may cause more harm than good. But there are instances where using a Biocide may be called for.

How Long Does It Take?

Hidden Moisture Clues - GWESimple cleanses and spot remediation can be completed in a few hours where more elaborate remediations and restoration might take weeks. It depends on the impacts to the home and the occupants.

I See What Looks Like Visible Mold Growth on My Walls.

1 Hidden Mold

Many times moisture makes its way into the wall cavity and stimulates molds to grow. Given time they will start to “Bleed Through” the outside wall and at first look like a small dark area. If the moisture source is not obvious, further investigation by a pro is recommended.

Isn’t Mold Everywhere?

Gary Mold Everywhere - GWEYes! Mold is a natural part of our environment where we like to see normal fungal ecology. But so are bears, ticks and poison ivy. You wouldn’t want to see any of them in your house now would you? The same goes for mold, there are some that we just don’t want to see in our homes at any level due to the potential health risks.

There Is a Small Spot of Mold Growth That Keeps Coming Back After I Clean It.

Wall SupplyCleaning mold often does not address what is causing the mold to grow in the first place. And that’s what we call the “Moisture Trigger”. While we often think of moisture as a “puddle”, in this case, molds don’t like puddles, they like elevated humidity which is hard to detect on your own. Better call a mold pro.

Water Comes Through the Wall Only When the Wind Blows a Certain Way

7-ShowerHeadMoldWe all have had those stubborn leaks. They tend to show up only when the rain hits the house a certain way then presto – a puddle or damp spot in the wall. Molds are uniquely adapted to exploit these intermittent micro-climates. Before the mold issue becomes intolerable, better call a mold pro.

What Is Causing Mold to Grow on My Shoes in the Closet?

Mold Shoes - GWEMold growth of this nature is often tied to elevated humidity and poor ventilation in your closet. If you exercise frequently putting your sneakers away damp could be the culprit.

What Is Toxic Black Mold?

Ceiling Black Mold - GWEThe term “Black Mold” or “Toxic Black Mold” has been attributed to a dark / black mold (called Stachybotrys) that has been demonized in the media as a result of some very well-known lawsuits. While Stachybotrys is known to produce “mycotoxins” that can adversely affect human health, it does not fare to say it is toxic.

What Kind of Certification Does a Mold Contractor Need?

PMII CMRWhile the State of New Jersey does not require any specific certifications, anyone you work with should have a NJHICL & proper general liability insurance.  There are numerous mold certification firms that offer training; any contractor you work with should have mold training and participate in ongoing continuing education.

What’s the Best Way to Get Rid of the Mold?

Mold Patch - GWEMany times, areas less than 10 square feet can be cleaned by an individual. If it’s more involved than that, it’s best to get a quote from a mold pro who follows EPA guidelines. Access challenged spaces work well with dry ice treatments where easily accessible basements respond well to traditional “rubbing and scrubbing”. Your particular space will dictate what is best.

Will I Die from Mold Exposure?

Bio Hazard Form - GW LLCWe are all going to die (eventually). But there are no known documented death’s from mold toxicity that we are aware of. But the young, old and immuno-compromised individuals are more susceptible to mold related illnesses.

How Do I Get an Estimate for Mold Removal Services?

Just give us a call and we can help with the numbers. Of course, its best to have a formal mold assessment / inspection done first delineating mold impacts. But if it appears to be a small issue, we can usually figure it out pretty quickly. There's no fee to prepare a quote if you own your home. For Home Buyers, we have a small fee that we credit back when you engage us.

How Can I Remove Rust Colored Mold from My Walls?

Rust colored mold on your walls might not be mold at all. There is a type of micro-organism called Iron Bacteria that often gives the appearance of a rust colored mold.

What Is the Difference Between Mold Removal and Mold Remediation?

They are used interchangeably where a Remediation is the removal of molds back to Normal Fungal Ecology. You can't get rid of mold 100%.
