NYS Licensed Mold Assessor · Ithaca, Cortland & the Finger Lakes

Find out what's really behind the mold — before you pay to remove it.

NY Mold Group provides independent mold assessment, moisture investigation, and laboratory sampling — we don't sell remediation, so our only job is giving you an honest read on your building. Our construction and building envelope background helps us find the moisture source, not just the visible mold.

Credentials

Professional mold assessment services in New York State

Our background in both mold assessment and construction gives us valuable insight into how moisture, ventilation, insulation, roofing, flashing, and drainage contribute to mold-related conditions. Understanding a building as a complete system is key to identifying not just visible mold, but its underlying cause.

Why Choose Us

Independent assessment, focused on the root cause

Mold concerns can be stressful and confusing for homeowners, tenants, and property managers alike. Our approach focuses not only on identifying visible mold, but on investigating the moisture sources and building conditions contributing to it.

As an independent assessment company, we're not in the business of selling large-scale remediation. Our focus is on objective evaluation — and helping clients understand the why behind a mold problem.

The Article 32 Process

How mold assessment & remediation works in NYS

New York separates mold assessment from mold remediation to help protect consumers from conflicts of interest.

Step 1

Mold Assessment

A licensed assessor evaluates visible mold, moisture intrusion, and humidity concerns through inspection, documentation, and sampling.

Step 2

Remediation Protocol

If remediation is recommended, we develop a written work plan outlining the scope needed to address affected areas.

Step 3

Mold Remediation

A separate, licensed remediation contractor performs the cleanup in accordance with the plan.

Step 4

Post-Remediation Verification

Clearance testing may be performed afterward to help confirm the work was completed appropriately.
