Babylon Mold Testing Services

Why Babylon Homes Have Unique Mold Challenges

Living in paradise comes with a few challenges, especially when it comes to keeping our homes mold-free. Here’s what we’re up against in Babylon:

• That South Shore Humidity – Being right on the Great South Bay means we deal with higher humidity than our North Shore neighbors. Your home might as well have a “mold welcome” sign during those sticky summer months!
• Our Coastal Weather – From summer storms to winter nor’easters, our homes take a beating from Mother Nature. All that moisture can find its way into our houses and create perfect conditions for mold.
• Babylon’s Charming Older Homes – Let’s be honest, those beautiful historic homes that give Babylon its character weren’t built with modern moisture barriers. Those older construction methods sometimes create hidden spaces where mold thrives.
• Seasonal Swings – The temperature changes between our humid summers and cold winters create condensation issues that inland homes don’t face as severely.

Our No-Nonsense Mold Services for Babylon Residents

Thorough Mold Testing

When it comes to mold, what you can’t see CAN hurt you. Our testing goes beyond just looking at visible spots on your walls:

• We find out exactly what types of mold are in your home
• We measure how concentrated the spore levels are
• We hunt down hidden mold lurking behind walls
• We give you a straight-talking report that explains what we found

Nearly half of homes nationwide have some level of mold – and in our humid coastal area, those numbers are even higher. Don’t wait until you can see or smell it to get tested.

Detailed Mold Inspections

Our inspections dig deep into all the places mold loves to hide in Babylon homes:

• We check those problem areas that are unique to South Shore properties
• We thoroughly examine basements and crawlspaces (where moisture loves to hang out)
• We inspect attics for roof leaks that might be feeding mold
• We look at bathroom ventilation issues (a huge problem in older homes)
• We assess your home’s exterior drainage situation
• We check window and door seals that might be letting moisture in
• We examine your HVAC system for mold growth or distribution

Those gorgeous historic Babylon homes we all love? They need special attention because their construction creates unique moisture challenges.

Straight-Talk Mold Consultation

After testing and inspection, we sit down with you and give it to you straight:

• We explain what we found in plain English – no confusing jargon
