Mold Removal & Mold Services Before & After Photos

A new homeowner was excited to purchase a new property in Mantoloking, NJ and had plans to completely renovate it! What was stopping him? A MASSIVE amount of mold growth throughout the basement! Apparently, a pipe had bursted in the basement and flooded the area. Although the previous owner did fix the busted pipe, the moisture (combined with the high humidity level) created the perfect breeding conditions for the mold to flourish. Since the previous owner was planning on selling the property, he never bothered to take care of the mold growth.

The first thing we did was, with the owner's permission, remove every single contaminated insulation and item in the basement and dispose of them. Once that was finished, we applied MAPS 1, which is an EPA registered antimicrobial. MAPS, which stands for Mold Abatement Polymer Solutions, will attack mold on a cellular level and kill it immediately. After that, we applied our mold stain remover and scrubbed away all of the mold stains. Next, we applied our patented sealant called MAPS 2.

This application encapsulates the surface mold is growing on and renders it harmless and non-allergenic. It's also moisture sensitive and will reactivate whenever it gets wet to prevent any future mold growth. Lastly, we installed a commercial grade Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity levels in the basement.

During a severe thunderstorm, this property in Deal, NJ, got flooded. Due to this, mold grew all over the walls in the living room, the bathroom, and even all over the tile in the shower! It was so bad that full tear out and mold remediation was needed. The owner agreed and we went right to work.

The first thing we did, was remove all of the contaminated wood, insulation, tile, and sheetrock and then dispose of the properly. Afterward, we treated every square inch of the affected areas with our EPA registered antimicrobial called MAPS 1. MAPS stands for Mold Abatement Polymer Solutions, and this solution attacks mold on a cellular level and kills it immediately. Next, we applied our mold stain remover and scrubbed away all the mold stains.

Once that was finished, we applied our patented sealant called MAPS 2. MAPS 2 encapsulates the surface that mold is growing on and renders it harmless, non-allergenic, and inert. One of the best features of MAPS 2 is that it'll reactivate whenever it gets wet to prevent any future mold growth. Lastly, we replaced all the compromised wooden beams with new, sturdy ones.

A Brick, NJ, homeowners were cleaning out their basement and removing some unwanted furniture. When moving a piece of furniture away from the wall, they found some mold growth on the paneling. The homeowners immediately realized they had a problem and contacted us to have the mold treated. 

Mold will attach to any surface containing organic material, including most building materials made with wood or natural fibers. Mold often forms in basements and crawl spaces because of high humidity levels and since these areas of the home are either nonliving spaces or not utilized that often, mold can go undetected for quite some time. Unfortunately, mold spores from down below will travel on air currents throughout the home and is often responsible for unexplained “allergies” of the home’s occupants.  

We treated the mold-contaminated paneling with an EPA-registered antimicrobial called MAPS 1, which attacks mold on a cellular level and kills it instantly. Next, we applied MAPS 2, which is our patented sealant that encapsulates the surface mold is growing on and renders the mold non-allergenic and harmless. MAPS 2 is also moisture-sensitive and reactivates whenever it gets wet to prevent the return of mold.

Lastly, we installed a commercial-grade  SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. These dehumidifiers are specifically designed to work in the challenging environment of basements and crawl spaces and operate 24/7, turning on and off automatically using a built-in hygrometer. There is no water pan to empty or overflow. Instead, these worry-free machines are installed to drain into a sump pump or other drainage system. These dehumidifiers keep down indoor humidity and moisture to levels where mold will not form.

Recently, this homeowner in Delran, NJ went on vacation and while he was gone, a water pipe had burst in his crawl space and about six inches of water had accumulated.  

There was also a small spot of mold growth that had started to form on a floor joint toward the back of the house. Once a home has a water or moisture problem, mold inevitably follows. And it doesn’t take long. In moist, humid conditions, some molds will start colonizing in as little as 24 hours. Fortunately, this water intrusion was caught early so the mold growth was localized. 

We treated the affected areas with our EPA registered anti-microbial called MAPS 1, which attacks mold on a cellular level and kills it instantly. We then scrubbed away the mold and applied MAPS 2, which is our patented sealant that encapsulates the surface mold is growing on and renders the mold non-allergenic and harmless. MAPS 2 is also moisture-sensitive and reactivates whenever it gets wet to prevent the return of mold.

We were sent out on a service call for a homeowner in Bordentown, NJ who noticed a small amount of mold growth in his basement. We equipped our personal protective equipment and began a thorough inspection of the basement. Within minutes we found mold growing on one of the joists in the basement. 

Even a small amount of mold can cause a variety of health problems, especially those who are immune-compromised and have chronic lung illnesses. Now that we located the mold growth, the next step is finding out the cause of the mold growth. After another thorough inspection with our hygrometer, which measures the humidity (amount of water vapor) in the air, we confirmed that this basement had an unacceptably high level of humidity.  

Homes require an acceptable range of humidity for our comfort and health, and air that is too dry or too wet can be the source of problems for homeowners. Homes are most comfortable at humidity levels between 30 - 50%. High humidity levels can cause condensation on windows, wet stains on walls and ceilings, musty odors, mold growth, and over extended periods of time, wood rot and structural damage.

With our mold treatment process, we first applied MAPS 1, an EPA-registered anti-microbial application. MAPS 1 (Mold Abatement Polymer Solution 1) is specifically designed to kill active mold growth. We then scrubbed the surface mold and applied MAPS 2, a patented polymer sealant that encapsulates the existing dead mold and prevents future mold from growing.

To treat the high humidity levels, we installed SaniDry commercial-grade dehumidifiers. These machines are specifically designed and manufactured for the challenging environments of basements and crawl spaces. The SaniDry XP can effectively cover indoor living spaces over 3000 square feet, making it well-suited for basements and crawl spaces over 40” high. Now, this basement will no longer have chronic humidity issues and the risk of dangerous mold growth has been removed.
