The health hazards of mold contamination, along with the spores, mycotoxins and microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOC’s) it produces in commercial and residential spaces, are well documented. Although black mold and other microorganisms are part of our natural environment, when they invade a contained environment like an official or residential building, their presence can contribute to so-called Sick Building Syndrome. Many common building materials can become ideal breeding grounds for fungal growth, including Aspergillus, Stachybotrys and Penicillium. Once an outbreak of mold takes hold, it can quickly cause untold damage to structures by penetrating deeply into walls and floors creating  health hazards for occupants.

Degmor’s commitment to removing mold starts with our professional assessment of the extent of  penetration and, more importantly,  it’s relative causes. Contaminated materials are contained and removed in strict accordance to standard industry practices and in compliance with Environmental Protection Agency and New York City Department of Health guidelines.

Our Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) is present during the entire remediation process to ensure that a protocol is adhered to and certified clearance is achieved. No job is complete until the underlying and invisible causes of moisture intrusion and residual moisture retention on the site are treated to prevent a recurrence. Our processes includes dehumidification, air scrubbing and reconstruction.

Degmor is equipped with the most advanced tools to detect the source of structural dampness and our experts are trained in state-of-the-art bio-containment techniques. Degmor’s mold team is lead by experienced professionals who are Certified Mold Remediators (CMR) and Water Loss Specialists (WLS) as well as additional specialized certifications in mold remediation.
