Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Berkeley Heights, NJ homes
Mold Inspection in Berkeley Heights tends to start the same way mold does across Union County: roof and plumbing leaks in Berkeley Heights homes that feed hidden mold for months before anyone notices. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Watchung, Scotch Plains, North Plainfield and the rest of Berkeley Heights call us.
We handle mold inspection for Berkeley Heights 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 New Providence, about 5 minutes from our New Providence base, so we can usually reach a Berkeley Heights home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Mold Inspection is one of the more common calls we get from homeowners around Berkeley Heights. Around here, mold inspection tends to settle into basements, crawl spaces, and behind walls before anyone in the house notices it.
