How We Remove Mold From Newark Homes
Mold is not just a stain on your wall. It is a health danger. Black mold releases spores that float in your air. Your kids breathe them in. This causes asthma, allergies, and breathing problems.
We do not just spray bleach and walk away. We use the same methods hospitals use to keep operating rooms clean. HEPA air scrubbers filter out 99.97% of mold spores while we work. We seal off the moldy area with plastic barriers so spores cannot escape to your living room or bedrooms.
Most important: we find what caused the mold and fix it. Leaking pipes. Poor ventilation. Foundation cracks. If we do not fix the source, mold just comes back in a few weeks. We do the job right the first time.
What You Get:
- Free air quality testing before and after
- Complete mold removal using HEPA equipment
- Fix the moisture source so it does not return
- Full documentation for insurance or landlord
- Written proof your home is safe again
Why Newark Has So Many Mold Problems
Newark is New Jersey's biggest city. Over 282,000 people live here in close quarters. Most families live in apartment buildings or multi-family homes built 50 to 100 years ago. These older buildings were not built with modern ventilation or waterproofing.
The Urban Density Problem
Buildings sit so close together that air cannot circulate between them. Sunlight barely reaches ground floor apartments. When basements flood, the moisture has nowhere to go. Mold grows within 24 hours.
Aging Infrastructure
Old pipes leak inside walls for weeks before anyone notices. Roofs develop cracks that drip water into attics. Foundation walls let groundwater seep through. By the time you see water damage, mold is already growing behind your walls.
Multi-Family Spread
When your upstairs neighbor has a leak, water comes through your ceiling. When the unit next door has a bathroom problem, moisture spreads to your apartment. One mold problem affects multiple families in Newark buildings.
Poor Ventilation
Older Newark apartments often lack exhaust fans. Bathroom steam stays trapped. Cooking moisture has nowhere to go. Basements have no air circulation. This constant dampness creates perfect conditions for toxic mold.
We serve every Newark neighborhood:
Ironbound (Down Neck) • North Ward • South Ward • University Heights • Central Ward • East Ward • West Ward • Forest Hill • Vailsburg • Weequahic • Clinton Hill • Downtown Newark • Penn Station area
No matter where you live in Newark, we understand your building's challenges and know how to fix mold problems permanently.
Our 5-Step Mold Removal Process
We do not cut corners. Every Newark job follows this exact process to keep your family safe.
Complete Inspection and Testing
We look everywhere for mold. Visible spots on walls. Hidden growth behind drywall. Moisture in your basement or crawl space. We use thermal cameras and moisture meters to find problems you cannot see. Then we test your air to identify which mold species you have and how dangerous it is.
Containment Setup
We build plastic barriers around the moldy area. We set up negative air pressure machines that suck air OUT of the work zone. This means mold spores cannot float into your living areas. In apartments, we make sure spores do not spread to neighbors. Your family stays safe in other rooms.
Safe Mold Removal
Our crew wears full protective suits and respirators. We run HEPA air scrubbers that filter 99.97% of spores. We clean hard surfaces with hospital-grade antimicrobial spray. Materials too damaged to save (drywall, insulation, carpet) get bagged and removed. Nothing gets thrown in your regular trash.
Fix the Moisture Source
This is the most important step. We find WHY you have mold. Leaking pipe? We fix it. Poor ventilation? We install exhaust fans. Foundation crack? We seal it. Landlord problem? We document everything and coordinate with the property owner. If we do not fix the source, mold will return in weeks.
Final Testing and Clearance
We test your air again to prove the mold is gone. You get a written clearance certificate showing your home is safe. This document is critical for insurance claims, landlord disputes, or selling your home. We give you copies of everything.
Common Newark Mold Problems We Fix Daily
Apartment Bathroom Mold
No exhaust fan means steam stays trapped. Black mold grows on ceilings and walls. It makes you cough and gives you headaches. We remove the mold, treat the surfaces, and install proper ventilation so it does not return. Works for renters and owners.
Basement Water Mold
Heavy rain floods basements in older Newark homes. Foundation cracks let groundwater seep in. Within 24 hours, mold starts growing on walls and stored items. We pump out water, dry everything with industrial fans, remove all mold, and seal cracks permanently.
Multi-Family Leak Mold
Your upstairs neighbor has a pipe leak. Water drips through your ceiling. Mold grows inside your walls where you cannot see it. We coordinate with landlords and other units to find the source, stop the leak, and remove all mold from affected apartments.
Old Building Hidden Mold
You smell something musty but cannot find it. Old pipes leak slowly inside walls for months. Mold spreads behind drywall. We use thermal cameras and moisture meters to locate hidden mold, cut out damaged materials, and rebuild properly.
Window and AC Mold
Window AC units leak condensation. Old windows develop gaps that let rain in. Mold grows around window frames and spreads to walls. We remove the mold, reseal windows properly, and make sure your AC drains correctly.
Attic and Roof Mold
Roof leaks drip into attics for weeks before you notice brown ceiling stains. By then, mold has spread across insulation and wood beams. We remove contaminated insulation, treat all wood surfaces, fix the roof leak, and restore your attic safely.
Questions Newark Families Ask About Mold
My landlord says the mold is my fault. Is that true?
Usually no. Mold comes from building problems like leaky pipes, roof damage, or poor ventilation. These are landlord responsibilities under New Jersey law. We document everything we find. Our inspection report shows exactly what caused the mold. If it is a building defect, your landlord must fix it. We work with property owners all the time to resolve these issues.
How do I know if I have dangerous black mold?
You need air testing. Black mold (Stachybotrys) produces toxins that cause serious health problems. But other mold types are dangerous too. We test your air for free. The lab identifies which mold species you have and how much is in your air. We explain the results in plain English and tell you if your family is at risk.
Can I clean small mold spots myself?
Not safely. When you scrub mold, you release millions of spores into your air. They spread throughout your Newark apartment. You breathe them in. Your neighbors breathe them in. Bleach only works on hard surfaces and does not kill mold roots. Professional removal uses containment barriers and HEPA filters to protect everyone. Call us for a free inspection before you try anything yourself.
Will insurance cover mold removal in Newark apartments?
Sometimes. If mold came from a sudden water event (burst pipe, roof leak during storm), insurance usually covers it. Gradual moisture buildup might not be covered. We handle all insurance paperwork for you. We photograph everything, write detailed reports, and work with your adjuster. Most of our Newark customers get their mold removal fully covered.
My kids keep getting sick. Could it be mold?
Possibly. Mold causes chronic coughing, wheezing, runny nose, headaches, and fatigue. Kids with asthma get much worse when exposed to mold. If symptoms improve when your kids leave the house and return when they come home, mold might be the problem. We can test your air within hours and tell you for sure. Call (551) 751-1288 right now if your family is suffering.

Yes. We serve every part of Newark. Ironbound, North Ward, South Ward, University Heights, Central Ward, East Ward, West Ward, Vailsburg, Weequahic, Forest Hill, Downtown, and everywhere in between. We have cleaned mold from Newark homes for over 15 years and know the unique challenges each neighborhood faces.
