Stachybotrys chartarum — black mold — produces mycotoxins that are dangerous to breathe. Don't wait, don't DIY. Our hazmat-trained technicians remove it safely and completely, same day when needed.
ABOUT THIS SERVICE
Black mold — formally known as Stachybotrys chartarum — is the mold species most NYC residents fear, and for good reason. Unlike common household molds, Stachybotrys produces mycotoxins: chemical compounds that can cause respiratory issues, neurological symptoms, and severe allergic reactions, particularly in children, the elderly, and anyone with a compromised immune system.
Stachybotrys thrives in continuously wet, cellulose-rich materials: drywall, ceiling tiles, paper-backed insulation, and wood. NYC's aging housing stock — with its chronic moisture problems, old plumbing, and poor ventilation — is a prime breeding ground. If your building has had a slow leak, a flooding event, or persistent humidity issues, black mold may already be present in hidden areas.
NYC Mold Pros treats every confirmed or suspected black mold job with hazmat-level protocols. That means Level C or D PPE for our technicians, full containment with double poly barriers, dedicated decontamination chambers, and negative air pressure maintained throughout the job. All mold-affected materials are double-bagged, labeled as hazardous waste, and disposed of according to New York State and NYC regulations.
We also test for mycotoxin levels before and after remediation using specialized testing strips and air sampling. After clearance, we provide a full environmental report suitable for your insurance claim, property disclosure, or legal needs. Your family's health is not negotiable — neither is our thoroughness.
