We were about to finish our basement and wanted it checked first given the age of the house. The inspection found a small moisture issue near the foundation we wouldn't have noticed, and we got it handled before it became a bigger problem.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Elizabeth-area neighbors
We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
The team contained the work area with plastic sheeting and air scrubbers. Our kids stayed safe the whole time.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Elizabeth, NJ homes
Mold Inspection in Elizabeth tends to start the same way mold does across Union County: heavy rain and seasonal flooding pushing water toward foundations and crawl spaces. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Roselle, Hillside, Roselle Park and the rest of Elizabeth call us.
We handle mold inspection for Elizabeth the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Fairfield, about 25 minutes from our Fairfield base, so we can usually reach a Elizabeth home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
