What a licensed remediation job actually involves, in the order it happens. Every step below is the contractor's work, not ours.
-
Step 1: Assessment
A licensed assessor establishes whether there is growth, how far it extends, and where the moisture is coming from.
-
Step 2: Containment
Barriers and negative air pressure go up first, so disturbing material does not move spores into clean rooms.
-
Step 3: Removal
Porous material that cannot be cleaned comes out - drywall cut past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, cabinet bases.
-
Step 4: Drying
Dehumidifiers and air movers bring the structure back to a dry standard, with readings logged from the material rather than the surface.
What drives moisture problems in Clifton
Our local pros provide mold removal services in Clifton and the surrounding area, including Passaic and Woodland Park. It sits between the Passaic and the First Watchung Ridge, on ground the Dundee Dam raised the river against, and 88.5 percent of the housing predates 1990.
Housing stock
Only 11.5 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1951. Brick and frame on full basements, median 1951, on the Passaic's raised floodplain and the first slopes of the Watchung.
Climate and water risk
June is the wettest month here at 4.91 inches, part of an annual 50.57 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from LITTLE FALLS TWP 0.5 WNW, 3.7 miles off. June's 4.91 inches falls on a river the Dundee Dam holds up. Basements on the flats sit in that raised water table; Watchung lots shed trap-rock runoff onto the same flats. Combined sewers then surcharge into 1950s cellar drains.
Common moisture and mold problems in Clifton
- The Dundee Dam holding the Passaic — and the water table — up against flat-side basements
- First Watchung trap rock shedding June storms onto downhill 1950s housing
- Combined sewers in the older grid surcharging into cellar floor drains
- An 88.5 percent pre-1990 stock with original drains tied to those sewers

Frequently asked questions
The dam is for a park now. Why would it still wet a basement?
Because it still holds the river up. Dundee Pond is a water table against the flats, park or not. A 1951 basement on that side of town is a hole next to a raised river. Lowering the dam is not on the table, so the house has to live with the level the dam chose.
The house is on the Watchung slope. Is the Passaic still involved?
As the outlet, yes. Runoff off the trap rock still has to reach the river, and a full combined sewer on the way will surcharge uphill of the flats. The slope's own problem is the uphill cut. Two wet walls, two causes, one June storm.
Water up the floor drain versus a wet wall. How do I tell?
A wet wall is groundwater from the dam or the hill. Water up a drain during the storm is the sewer. One is relatively clean; the other is not. The cleanup and the fix are different, and treating a surcharge as seepage leaves the valve uninstalled.
