Article Raises Awareness of a Growing Problem in Sandy Aftermath

An article from Wednesday’s Long Island Newsday titled “Hurricane Sandy Mold and Flood Cleanup is Affecting Health and Safety of Residents”, brings light to a serious problem now plaguing residents of New York and New Jersey: mold and flood remediation. The article discusses the slow cleanup due to improper remediation techniques, improper equipment, and lack of well trained/certified contractors.  Meanwhile, residents are potentially affecting their health with their compromised indoor air quality.

At SkyeTec, we are all too familiar with the problems that can arise from improper mold and flood remediation. Our licensed mold inspectors work to prevent these situations by providing detailed reports of the damage and clear recommendations for what should be done to resolve the issue. Residents are then able to present a concise plan of action to the remediation contractor to ensure timely, and effective cleanup.

We also provide oversight services for flood cleanup. Our Restoration Consulting (water mitigation oversight) service makes sure that remediation contractors are properly handling the flood cleanup. We ensure that they are using the right equipment, for the proper amount of time, and in the correct manner.  This service reduces overcharging and prevents people from being taken advantage of.

Always check that the mold & flood remediation contractor is licensed in that state.
