Mold Removal & Remediation in Glens Falls, NY
Containment, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatment eliminate mold colonies at the source and prevent cross-contamination throughout the property. Mold remediation removes affected porous materials and corrects the moisture source that allowed growth. The work is done under containment with HEPA filtration so spores are not carried into unaffected rooms, and the area is cleared only once the underlying moisture problem has been resolved.

Remediation is the step after the assessment, not before it. A local pro establishes how far the growth extends and what is feeding it, because removing what is visible while the moisture source is still running puts the same colony back in the same wall. Texas and several other states also set a square-footage point above which the work has to be done by a licensed remediator — the service note below covers where that line falls in this city.

Category 3 black-water losses are handled with full PPE, biohazard disposal, and professional disinfection to restore safe conditions.
Frequently asked questions
The Feeder Dam is downstream of the falls. Why would it wet a mill cellar?
Because the dam sets the pool elevation for the terrace. It is not a distant floodwall; it is the water table under the paper blocks. When July rain adds to a pool that cannot drop, the extra has to go into fill and cellars rather than down the Hudson.
There was no rain overnight and the cellar was wet by morning. From where?
The buried raceways. Paper-mill channels under this terrace still feed cellars directly from the Hudson, so water arrives on a dry morning with nothing overhead to explain it. They were covered over, not disconnected.
Paper races under the Feeder Canal are gone. Why does a mill cellar still take the Hudson pool dry?
The Feeder Dam never dropped the terrace. Buried wood and stone still connect to the pool. A clear sky over Queensbury does not empty that. The stain is the dam, not a storm, and it will be there tomorrow.
