We were about to finish our basement and wanted it checked first given the age of the house. The inspection found a small moisture issue near the foundation we wouldn't have noticed, and we got it handled before it became a bigger problem.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Clifton-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
After a pipe leak we had mold in the crawl space. They sealed the area, removed the mold, and left everything spotless.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Clifton, NJ homes
Mold Inspection in Clifton tends to start the same way mold does across Passaic County: roof and plumbing leaks in Clifton homes that feed hidden mold for months before anyone notices. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Passaic, Brookdale, Upper Montclair and the rest of Clifton call us.
We handle mold inspection for Clifton the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Township Of Washington, about 20 minutes from our Township Of Washington base, so we can usually reach a Clifton home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
Clifton specifics
Why Clifton homes need Mold Inspection
For a home in this area, mold inspection starts with finding the moisture, because the water is what feeds the mold. What sets Mold Inspection apart is where it hides: basements, crawl spaces, and behind walls, exactly where homeowners rarely look. Mold Inspection is one of the more common calls we get from homeowners around Clifton. By the time a family calls us for Mold Inspection, they have usually already seen a damp, earthy smell you cannot place.
Around here, mold inspection tends to settle into basements, crawl spaces, and behind walls before anyone in the house notices it. We handle Mold Inspection for homes from Passaic to Brookdale and the surrounding area the same careful way. Most Mold Inspection jobs in the area trace back to roof and plumbing leaks in Clifton homes, a pattern we see week after week. Our crew has done Mold Inspection across Passaic County enough to know how air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls moves through these homes.
When we take on Mold Inspection, the job takes shape this way:
- Lay out a clear scope for what removal would involve
- Photograph and map what we find, room by room
- Explain the likely cause in plain words, not jargon
- Walk the home and note every spot that shows or smells like mold
- Use moisture meters to find damp materials behind the surface
We are about 20 minutes from our Township Of Washington base, so mold inspection often happens the same day you call.

No, many inspections happen because of a musty smell, past water damage, or just wanting a clear picture before a renovation or home purchase.

It depends on the size of the home, but most residential inspections take a couple of hours to cover the high-risk areas thoroughly.
