We kept getting mold on the same bedroom window every winter and finally had it looked at properly. Turned out it was a ventilation issue as much as the window itself, and the team explained exactly what was happening before doing the cleanup.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Greenport West-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
Great communication from start to finish. The mold report helped a lot with our insurance claim.

Good to know
Humidity & Condensation Mold Control in Greenport West, NY: common questions
Can New York's dry climate still have a mold problem?
Yes, condensation from temperature differences, humidifiers, or poor ventilation can create localized humid spots even in a generally dry climate.
Can a humidifier cause mold?
Yes, evaporative coolers add significant moisture to indoor air, and if it isn't managed well it can lead to condensation and mold near ducts and vents.
Do you check ductwork for condensation mold?
Yes, we inspect ductwork and register boots since sweating ducts in a crawl space or attic are a common and often overlooked source.
Do I need to leave my Greenport West home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Greenport West home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Why does mold keep coming back on my window sill?
If condensation keeps forming, wiping the mold away is only a temporary fix. The underlying humidity or insulation issue needs to be addressed.
Is condensation mold less serious than mold from a flood?
It's typically smaller in scope, but it can still spread if left unaddressed and the underlying humidity issue is not corrected.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after humidity & condensation mold control?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Greenport West home.
Do you serve Greenport West?
Yes. We cover all of Greenport West, including Greenport, Shelter Island Heights, East Marion, and the rest of the Greenport West area. We are based in Southold, about 5 minutes from our Southold base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
