Mold Inspection in Prospect Heights: What You Need to Know

A professional mold inspection is the essential first step before any remediation work — and under NYC Local Law 55, the company that performs the inspection cannot be the same company that does the remediation. An inspector uses moisture meters, infrared thermal cameras, and air sampling cassettes to map the full extent of contamination. Air samples are sent to an accredited lab for species identification and spore count analysis. The inspection report determines the remediation scope, work plan, and cost estimate. For real estate transactions, a clean mold inspection is increasingly required by lenders — especially in Brooklyn's older housing stock where hidden mold is common.
