Mold Removal & Remediation Albany, Saratoga, & Glens Falls, New York

Yes. CleanBright is licensed by New York State for mold remediation (License #26-6ZY18-SHMO) and strictly follows the NYS Mold Law, which sets the standards for how mold removal must be performed in the state.

New York’s Mold Law requires that the company assessing the mold be separate from the company remediating it. A third-party NYS-licensed assessor identifies the problem, defines the scope, and verifies clearance after the work — while CleanBright performs the remediation according to that plan.

Yes. CleanBright has remediated mold in commercial properties including office buildings and retail stores, using proper containment barriers so the rest of the business can keep operating safely during the work.

CleanBright works with a third-party assessor to identify the mold, prepares a remediation plan, sets up containment zones, removes the affected materials, and then works with the assessor to confirm the area passes clearance. Customers approve the work before cleanup begins.

Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours of water exposure, so prompt water extraction and drying are the best defense. If wet materials are dried quickly and thoroughly, in most cases mold won’t take hold.

Yes. CleanBright backs its mold remediation work with a 10-year transferable warranty. Because it’s transferable, it can pass to a new owner if you sell the property. Call 518-608-6242 for details on what’s covered.

Moisture control is the key to mold control. When water leaks, spills or floods occur indoors, it’s important to act quicky and remove the water as soon as possible. If wet or damp materials are dried quickly and efficiently, in most cases mold will not be an issue. Keep in mind that mold growth can begin in 24-48 hours. To ensure you’ve dried the spaces effectively, we recommend calling in a professional water damage restoration company, like us.

Mold can be located throughout your home wherever water may be present, or around areas where damage has occured, such as a pipe bursting. Common spots to check include basements, attics, crawl spaces, bathroom, and kitchens. Learn where mold likes to hide.

Our owner, Matt Golemboski, was featured in an article in the TimesUnion’s Life@Home magazine, in which he highlights what to do if you discover mold in your residence. Check out the article at “Mold Management” to learn more.

Without knowing the scope of damage, it is hard to offer an accurate estimate without seeing each individual project. When a 3rd party mold assessor completes an official mold assessment of the property, their report will include a range of what they believe the cost of the remediation should be. Keep in mind that this typically does not include the cost of the reconstruction, if the property owner decides they want that completed as well.

With the exception of extreme damage where a property is deemed uninhabitable due to high levels of toxic mold, you can stay while work is being done. Our mold removal specialists will section off affected areas, called containment zones. However, you should steer clear of these parts of your home or business until work has been completed.
