Mold doesn’t just damage property—it threatens health, safety, and your bottom line. For business owners and commercial property managers in New York’s boroughs and Long Island, mold contamination can mean halted operations, regulatory fines, and long-term structural damage.
At Zavza Seal, we specialize in commercial mold remediation tailored for high-demand environments like offices, retail spaces, warehouses, schools, and medical buildings. Whether your property is in Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, or the Bronx, we deliver fast, compliant, and long-lasting solutions to restore your space and safeguard your investment.
Why Mold Is a Serious Concern for Commercial Properties
Unlike residential mold problems, commercial mold issues can have widespread effects across multiple units, businesses, or tenants. Mold thrives in damp, poorly ventilated areas—and in a busy city like New York, water damage, HVAC issues, and hidden leaks are common.
Common Mold Triggers in Commercial Spaces:
- Plumbing leaks or burst pipes
- HVAC system condensation
- Roof or window leaks
- Flood damage
- Inadequate waterproofing
- Poor indoor air circulation
If not treated promptly, mold can lead to:
- Musty odors that deter customers
- Health issues for staff and clients (asthma, allergies, respiratory problems)
- Property damage (drywall, insulation, flooring)
- Fines or violations from health departments or building inspectors
Signs You Need Commercial Mold Remediation
Some mold is visible—but much of it hides behind walls, in ducts, under flooring, or inside ceiling panels. Here are some red flags to watch for:
- Persistent dampness or musty smell
- Discolored walls or ceiling tiles
- Complaints of headaches, coughing, or allergies
- HVAC performance issues
- Water stains or previous flooding
If you notice these symptoms in your Brooklyn warehouse, Queens retail store, or Long Island medical office, don’t wait. Mold spreads fast—especially in New York’s humid summers and freezing winters.
Our Commercial Mold Remediation Process
Zavza Seal follows a comprehensive, EPA- and IICRC-compliant protocol for commercial mold remediation to ensure thorough removal, safety, and long-term prevention.
1. Inspection & Moisture Assessment
We begin with a detailed site inspection using moisture meters, infrared cameras, and air sampling. Our goal is to:
- Locate all visible and hidden mold colonies
- Identify the moisture source
- Assess the extent of contamination
2. Containment & Safety Setup
Mold spores travel easily through air. We establish negative air pressure zones, use plastic containment barriers, and apply HEPA filtration systems to prevent cross-contamination.
3. Mold Removal & HEPA Vacuuming
We remove mold from affected surfaces using:
- Manual scrubbing and HEPA vacuuming
- Antimicrobial cleaners
- Dry ice blasting or soda blasting (for concrete or structural surfaces)
Porous materials like drywall or insulation are safely removed and discarded per NYC mold remediation codes.
4. Drying & Dehumidification
Without proper drying, mold will return. We deploy commercial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to restore humidity levels and eliminate hidden moisture.
5. Restoration & Rebuild
Once remediation is complete, we rebuild walls, ceilings, flooring, and any other damaged areas to restore your space to a clean, safe, and professional condition.
