Reviews
Rated 5 by Hicksville-area neighbors
Fast to respond and easy to reach. The technicians were tidy, respectful of our home, and explained what caused the growth so it would not come back.
The mold cleanup itself was great. The only hiccup was a reschedule due to weather.

Mold After Plumbing Leak in Hicksville, NY: common questions
How do I know if a leak caused mold?
A musty smell near a fixture, discolored cabinet backing, or soft subfloor near a sink or toilet are common signs mold has started after a leak.
Can mold grow from a leak I already fixed?
Yes, if the cavity stayed wet long enough before the repair, mold can already be established even though the leak itself is resolved.

It depends on how far the moisture traveled, but most single-fixture leaks are contained and dried within a few days once we start.

We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Hicksville home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Should I fix the leak myself before calling?
If you can safely shut off water to the fixture, that helps limit further damage, but leave the moldy material alone and let us assess it before cleanup begins.

We coordinate with plumbers regularly so the leak repair and the mold remediation happen in the right order.
