According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), approximately 47% of U.S. homes have conditions conducive to mold growth, making professional assessment critical. Mold often grows behind walls and inside ceiling and floor cavities long before it is detected. By the time you notice an odor, mold has likely been growing for weeks, and it continues to spread each day it goes untreated. Acting quickly limits damage and reduces remediation costs. If you suspect you have mold growing indoors, the time to act is sooner rather than later.
Whether you need residential mold removal or commercial mold removal, PrimeAire has the solutions.

Mold contamination, a common occurrence in water-damaged buildings, is a proven serious health risk; immediate mold removal is key. Maintaining your home and protecting your family from avoidable disease are two good reasons to assess the potential impact of mold on your home. Many families wait until mold contamination is very high before acting to correct this problem. If the home or building has had current or past water damage, particularly to building materials, a microbial investigation is warranted.
* All of our procedures follow IAQC and EPA guidelines.

NYC Mold Law Compliance: What NYC Property Owners Need to Know
New York State Article 32 (Local Law 61) requires that mold assessment and remediation on projects exceeding 10 square feet be performed by a NYS-licensed mold assessor and contractor. PrimeAire operates in full compliance with Article 32 licensing requirements. Our technicians hold active NYS Mold Assessor License (No. 24-6AY5I-SHMO) and Mold Remediation Contractor Licenses (No. 24-6AXK6-SHMO), ensuring your project meets state law and protects you from liability.
Phases of AACO Standard Mold Remediation
Our mold inspection reports are detailed, digital, and easy to read; organized to give property owners clear findings and actionable mold removal guidelines.
- Project Development: It is vital to assess the extent of mold damage. Developing a sensible project plan for clean-up and mold remediation in the first phase can greatly decrease microbial growth
- Preparation: Removal of all items, including furniture, from the infected area prior to setting up containment is necessary. If items are moved from one room to another, they must be HEPA-vacuumed and cleaned with mold-inhibiting chemicals. Extreme situations may require that all items/furniture in the infected area be cleaned under negative air pressure before anything can be moved.
- Containment: Sealing off the work area by covering the floor and door openings with polyethylene sheeting prevents contaminants (such as toxic mold) from spreading to the rest of the building.
- Structural Removal & Cleanup – Mold Removal: Removing and sanding growth areas on building materials such as drywall, plywood, insulation, and framing. Removal of damaged materials is performed under negative air pressure with HEPA filtration, followed by bagging and disposal of the waste. During this process, PrimeAire will use disposable coveralls and HEPA-filtered respirators for protection against toxic mold.
- Anti-Microbial Application: Applying mold-inhibiting chemicals to exposed surfaces prevents the regrowth of toxic mold. Remediation verification can be requested at this point to confirm the accomplishment of the mold removal project.
- Restoration: Providing reconstruction services. If moisture is present, dehumidification systems are used until all exposed areas are dry. New materials can then be installed, restoring the area to its original, purified state.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mold
Here are some frequently asked questions about mold remediation services.
Exposure to mold most commonly affects the upper respiratory system, producing symptoms such as nasal congestion, coughing, wheezing, and eye irritation. Those with asthma or mold allergies are particularly vulnerable, as moldy environments can provoke serious attacks. In rare cases, people with compromised immune systems may develop severe lung infections as a result of mold spore exposure. Over time, prolonged exposure can contribute to chronic fatigue, persistent sinus congestion, brain fog, and skin rashes — with symptoms that tend to worsen when spending time in a specific damp or humid building.
Yes. Under NYS Article 32, any mold remediation project exceeding 10 square feet must be performed by a licensed NYS Mold Remediation Contractor. Assessment and remediation must also be conducted by two separate, independent parties. PrimeAire holds the required licenses and follows all Article 32 protocols.
NYC mold remediation typically costs between $2,000 and $6,000, or $15–$35 per square foot, depending on material type and contamination severity. Black mold (Stachybotrys) remediation ranges from $2,000–$8,000 due to the containment and disposal requirements involved.
Costs vary based on the size of the affected area, the materials involved, and the severity of contamination. Call PrimeAire at (877) 307-5166 for a free, no-obligation estimate tailored to your situation.
Most jobs take between one and five days, depending on scope and site conditions:
- Small bathroom mold: Often resolved in one day
- Medium basement contamination: Typically, three to five days
- HVAC or whole-building remediation: May extend beyond five days depending on access and complexity
PrimeAire works efficiently to minimize disruption to your home or business.
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of the mold growth. Many insurers cover mold damage only when it results from a sudden, covered event — such as a burst pipe — rather than gradual moisture buildup. Policy terms vary widely.
Contact your insurance provider directly to confirm your coverage. PrimeAire can provide detailed documentation and lab reports to support your claim if coverage applies.
For small, isolated issues, temporary relocation is typically not necessary. Our containment protocols protect unaffected areas throughout the process. For large-scale or HVAC-related remediation, we may recommend temporary relocation as a precaution. Your technician will advise you during the assessment.
Mold removal refers to physically removing mold-affected materials from a surface. Mold remediation is the complete process. It includes identifying the moisture source, containing the affected area, removing contaminated materials, treating surfaces, and confirming through clearance testing that mold levels are safe.
Mold thrives in warm, moist, and poorly ventilated environments. Spores can spread throughout a structure via the air duct system. Common causes include:
- Leaky pipes or roof damage
- Sink, toilet, or appliance overflows
- Cracked tub or shower sealant
- Water damage during or after construction
Yes. Modern construction creates more airtight structures, which means trapped moisture has nowhere to escape. Any unventilated moisture can allow mold to grow and spread rapidly. Mold can also be introduced during construction through water intrusion events.
