Have a Mold Problem?
Mold Specialists Inspections and Content Removal
You need talented and educated professionals to address potential mold growth and microbial threats as quickly as possible. A fast response is essential in these situations, but only when the team arriving has the knowledge and equipment to overcome hazardous organisms feeding on organic matter in the house. Our restorers have gained accreditation in Applied Microbial Remediation (AMRT) from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC.)
What Efficient Mold Remediation Objectives Protect Properties?
Choosing the appropriate mold remediation and recovery strategy for your damaged home falls to our mold inspection process. We have a general contracting license to provide all of the necessary mold remediation types, ranging from surface sanding and antimicrobial cleaning to controlled demolition. All of these strategies aid with:
- Black mold
- Attic mold
- Mold remediation
- Mold specialists
- Bathroom mold removal
- Basement mold remediation
Containing Spores in Bathroom Mold Removal
Containment is another way that our comprehensive service can help where mold is concerned. Establishing physical barriers to prevent the spread of mold spores while remediation is underway is an effective technique to regulate drying. Negative pressure machines can also control the migration of active spores to new areas.
Can Odors Get Removed After Basement Mold Remediation?
Malodors are a staple of mold development in a home or business. Odors can make comfortable living a challenge, so we prioritize deodorization in the final stages of remediation and restoration to provide peace of mind after mold losses.
What Is the Mold Remediation Process?
Air Filtration
Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.
Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
We use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to treat mold colonies. When necessary to remediate heavy mold growth, our mold removal process includes the removal and disposal of mold-infested porous materials such as carpeting, drywall, and insulation.
Cleaning
Our professionals clean the structural elements that were infected by mold such as flooring, framing, fixtures, HVAC and mechanical systems. We will also work to improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) of the space. Other items may also require extra attention after a mold infestation, including curtains, décor and important documents.
Restoration
Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may be removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet. It may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in your home.
Emergency Contact
The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our specialist will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel needed for you and your home.
Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
Our professionals will carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Using a variety of technologies, we can detect mold and locate any hidden water sources so the mold will not return once the area is cleaned and the mold removal process has been completed.
Mold Containment
We use various containment procedures to prevent the spread and cross-contamination of mold. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread as our professionals work to mitigate your mold problem.

Our professionals are equipped to assess the mold and provide remediation services, using advanced equipment and techniques to help ensure its source is located, and the mold is remediated.

Commercial Mold Remediation
Mold can enter your business in a variety of ways. Once spotted, it’s important you contact a cleanup and restoration company like SERVPRO as soon as possible. Given its ability to spread in 72 hours or less, and the possibility of allergens and irritants that may cause health effects as a result, time is of the essence when mold spreads in your business or commercial property.
We understand the urgency of returning your business to functioning condition, given that every hour of closed business is an hour of lost production and revenue. Take the necessary steps to help protect your customers, employees, and the health of your business by having our team assess and remediate any mold damage that may have grown in your commercial space.
What our
customers are saying
I was terrified when my dishwasher overflowed. I was afraid the water would soak into my new carpeting. Your guys came on time and had the water out of my kitchen in a jiffy. THANK YOU!
My Kitchen flooded in the middle of the night... at 1am - SERVPRO picked up the phone immediately when I called. Then, they were immediately on-site with equipment - total pros. They came back for insurance walk-through, having digital readouts of everything and backup for claims. Negotiating with agents became a non-issue with this level of documentation and data. Well done.
We tried your competitors but were appalled at how often they skipped an appointment or left junk for us to cleanup. Fast, consistent, and professional work are reasons why SERVPRO is the restoration company for us.
I am an engineer and did my due diligence. Training and the right equipment are why SERVPRO is your answer to damage from water, smoke, and other disasters.
I checked a lot of reviews and asked neighbors. Reports of speed and high-quality services are why SERVPRO made the cut. My contractor praised the work you did cleaning up water and mold damage before my latest remodel. Adding my positive review to many others.
I heard about SERVPRO from a work friend. He said you were professional and thorough, and he was right. Impressed with the moisture detection work that made sure all the water was gone.
I called in the wee hours about a leaky toilet. I can’t say enough about SERVPRO. Here fast and with a great attitude about a nasty job. I'll never use anyone else.
I wasn't sure who could dry my flooded basement but am glad I found SERVPRO of the Upper West Side. Ben gave me an estimate that same day and more helpful than I ever expected. My basement was completely dry and back to normal within the week. I'm very thankful I found them because their service was great.
My kids overflowed the bathtub while I was cooking dinner. Not only did your crew come FAST, they were so patient with my little helpers, AKA my twin sons.

About Us
Family is at the heart of what we do and is a large contributing factor to the success that we have had through Manhattan and all of the Upper West Side. Not only does the entire team respond to one another like family members, working together to solve problems and to overcome obstacles, but our owner Benjamin O. Vargas is establishing a reputation and report in our communities to pass this company down to his family in the future.
Disasters can strike without warning, and with so many apartments and condos along Broadway and against the Hudson River or Central Park, we have many properties that depend on our fast response and expertise when disasters strike. We have a growing roster of IICRC-Certified restoration, mitigation, and recovery technicians with accreditations in nearly every facet of the industry. We have the equipment and the expertise to help.
We New Yorkers band together, and as a locally owned and operated company, it is essential to our franchise to give back to our communities whenever and wherever we can. We support many of the organizations and non-profits that operate around our facility and service area, and we seek out ways to both volunteer our time and resources into helping those less fortunate throughout our borough and beyond.
Art and culture take center stage throughout the Upper West Side, from American Museum of Natural History to Beacon Theatre, we have many massive properties as susceptible to the effects of water, fire, mold, storms, flooding, and biohazardous threats as any other buildings we work to help when disasters strike. We take great care to preserve original building materials, as many of the properties through the historic district have been around for a century or more.
We know that no home or business owner is ready for disasters and emergencies, but our SERVPRO of the Upper West Side IICRC-Certified technicians can roll out at a moment’s notice to help. Whenever disaster strikes, trust the team that can make it “Like it never even happened.”
