Syracuse Mold Guides
Eight guides written for houses that spend five months shut against the snow.

New York licenses mold assessment and mold remediation separately under Article 32. One firm cannot do both on your project. Here is what to ask before booking.
- How Long Does a Mold Inspection Take in Syracuse?

- Mold Symptoms in a House That Has Been Closed Since November
Mold symptoms in a Syracuse house closed since November look like a winter cold. The tell is what they do during a February thaw when windows finally open.
- Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Mold in New York?
