When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Bridgehampton, Sagaponack, Southampton and the rest of Water Mill call us.
We handle mold inspection for Water Mill 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 Sag Harbor, about 10 minutes from our Sag Harbor base, so we can usually reach a Water Mill home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
