Professional Mold Removal - Done the Right Way, Step by Step

Each stage is performed by the independent remediation contractor the call reaches, following industry standards.

  1. Step 1: Assessment

    An assessor identifies the presence of mold, determines how far the growth extends, and locates the source of moisture.

  2. Step 2: Containment

    Protective barriers and negative air pressure are established to prevent spores from spreading into unaffected areas.

  3. Step 3: Removal

    Porous materials that cannot be safely cleaned are removed — including drywall past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, and damaged cabinet bases.

  4. Step 4: Drying

    Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers return the structure to a dry standard, with moisture readings taken from the material itself rather than the surface.

What drives moisture problems in Clifton

Independent local pros provide mold removal services in Clifton and the surrounding area, including Botany Village and Allwood. 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.
