Freehold mold problems track the town's two housing stocks: Borough homes with old plaster, stone foundations and slow leaks, and Township basements where a past sump failure or pipe break was dried only on the surface. We handle both, from a musty closet to a full basement. See finished work on our before-and-after page.

Freehold areas we cover

Freehold Borough (downtown and Main Street, the blocks off Throckmorton and Institute streets) and all of Freehold Township, including East Freehold, West Freehold, Monmouth Heights, Orchard Estates, Stonehurst East and West, Siloam, Smithburg and Adelphia. Neighboring towns: Manalapan, Marlboro, Colts Neck, Howell, Englishtown and Jackson.

Where mold grows in Freehold homes

  • Borough basements and plaster walls. Fieldstone foundations and old plaster hide moisture from seepage and slow pipe leaks.
  • Township finished basements. Past sump failures and supply-line leaks that were dried only on the surface leave wet drywall and framing.
  • Crawl spaces and attics. Damp soil, sagging insulation, bath fans venting into attics, and roof leaks after storms.
  • Bathrooms, closets and exterior walls where cold surfaces collect condensation.

Our 5-step mold remediation process

  1. Find the moisture. Thermal imaging and penetrating and non-penetrating moisture meters show which materials are wet, which tells us where the mold is coming from.
  2. Contain. We seal the work area and run it under negative air pressure so spores stay put, with air scrubbers running.
  3. Remove. Contaminated porous materials like insulation, drywall and carpet pad are bagged and removed. Framing and other hard surfaces are cleaned.
  4. Dry and correct. Dehumidifiers and air movers bring materials back to normal dry levels. We explain the cause: a vent, grading, a leak, or crawl-space humidity.
  5. Deodorize and rebuild. Hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging take care of odor. Then our reconstruction technicians replace insulation, drywall and trim.

Mold and your insurance

Whether mold work is paid for depends on your policy and on what caused the moisture. Some policies cap mold work at a set dollar amount and others exclude it, so read your declarations page or call your agent first.

We send the invoice to your insurance carrier on your behalf, but the invoice is still the homeowner's responsibility. That includes your deductible and anything your carrier doesn't pay. Our technicians photograph the growth and log moisture readings at every stage, which gives your adjuster a clear record.

In New Jersey, homeowners usually have the right to choose their own restoration contractor. We specialize in working with both homeowners and insurance companies to make sure the work is properly documented and covered, so your home gets back to its pre-loss condition. See our insurance claims page.

Freehold mold FAQs

How quickly can you assess mold in Freehold? We're based at 11 Bannard Street. We answer 24/7 and usually arrive within about an hour.

Should we test for mold before remediation? When growth is visible and the cause is clear, testing usually isn't needed to start. For a home sale or health concerns, you can hire an independent tester, and we'll coordinate with them.

Can we stay in the house during the work? Usually, yes, because the work area is sealed off and kept under negative pressure. Anyone with asthma or a weakened immune system may want to stay away from that part of the house.

How long does mold remediation take? Small, contained areas can take a day or two. Jobs that need drying and rebuilding take longer. We'll give you a timeline after the inspection.

Do you remediate mold in Freehold businesses? Yes. We work in offices, shops and restaurants and schedule to limit disruption.
