PuroClean Mold Removal Services


Mold can develop when materials are allowed to remain wet for extended periods of time. There are a variety of reasons the moisture intrusion can happen including but not limited to:

  • Construction defects
  • Plumbing failures
  • Appliance water line or drain line breaks
  • Improper maintenance
  • Weather-related issues including storms and hurricanes

When mold damage is discovered in your home or business, the most critical course of action is to have it remediated as quickly as possible and ensure structural materials remaining are dried as quickly as possible.

PuroClean’s IICRC certified technicians follow industry standards to remediate mold that has infected and or damaged property the right way. Our goal is to return your home or business to a pre-loss condition by taking the following steps.

  1. Establish a scope of remediation and repair by thoroughly inspecting the affected area/s.
  2. Implement engineering controls and containment to prevent cross-contamination of unaffected areas of the building by utilizing negative pressures with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) air filtration devices.
  3. Develop a remediation protocol to remove contaminates by:
    • Removing compromised materials and contents per industry standards.
    • Thoroughly clean the air by using HEPA air filters devices and HEPA vacuums.
    • Thoroughly clean all surfaces with cleaning solutions that may include EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) registered disinfectants, followed HEPA vacuuming all surfaces again. Once remediation is complete, it is recommended to have a Certified Industrial Hygienist complete a 3rd part clearance test to ensure the building is safe for occupancy.

We can provide a complete estimate, including photos, to the agent or adjuster within 24-48 hours. Our commitment to excellence means that you can expect effective, ongoing communication and reporting from us.

PuroClean professionals are trained, IICRC certified, ready to mitigate mold losses and meet every challenge with professionalism, reliability, compassion, and respect.

Most Common Reasons to Need Mold Removal for Your South Plainfield Property


Mold growth in South Plainfield, NJ properties can happen frequently. Key contributors for mold growth in South Plainfield include:

1. Climate and Weather Conditions:

  • High Humidity: South Plainfield experiences humid summers, creating an environment conducive to mold growth. Elevated indoor humidity levels can lead to condensation on surfaces, promoting mold proliferation.

  • Frequent Rainfall: Regular precipitation can lead to water infiltration in homes, especially if the property is not adequately sealed, providing moisture that mold needs to thrive.

2. Plumbing Issues:

  • Leaks and Burst Pipes: Plumbing leaks or burst pipes can introduce moisture into walls, ceilings, and floors, creating ideal conditions for mold growth.

  • Condensation: Poorly insulated pipes can sweat, releasing moisture into the surrounding area, leading to mold development.

3. Construction and Structural Factors:

  • Inadequate Ventilation: Insufficient airflow in areas like attics, basements, and bathrooms can trap moisture, fostering mold growth.

  • Waterproofing Failures: Lack of proper waterproofing measures, such as sump pumps or French drains, can result in water accumulation in basements or crawl spaces, encouraging mold.

4. Water Damage:

  • Flooding: Basement flooding from heavy rains or nearby water sources can introduce significant moisture, leading to mold issues if not promptly addressed.

  • Roof Leaks: Damaged or aging roofs can allow water to seep into the attic or upper levels, creating favorable conditions for mold.

5. Indoor Activities and Maintenance:

  • Bathroom Steam: Excessive moisture from showers or baths without adequate ventilation can lead to mold growth on walls and ceilings.

  • Neglected Maintenance: Failure to promptly address water leaks, spills, or damp areas can lead to prolonged moisture exposure, increasing the risk of mold.

Addressing these factors through regular maintenance, proper construction practices, and prompt attention to water-related issues can help prevent mold growth in South Plainfield properties.

Other Reasons for Mold Removal and Remediation in Your Property

Roof Leaks

Roof leaks can cause water to infiltrate your property, potentially causing mold to grow in your home or business. Often, the water will seep into an attic or dark crevice of your roof, enabling mold growth. If the problem is not detected in time, mold can spread, causing structural damage. Mold damage caused by roof leaks requires immediate attention.

Weather-Related Incidents

Heavy rains, flooding, or excessive moisture caused by storms can create a breeding ground for mold. When water infiltrates homes or buildings, particularly in places where it shouldn’t linger, it sets the stage for mold spores to thrive and multiply. Even after the storm subsides, the moisture in walls, floors, and other structural elements can initiate a silent but potentially damaging mold invasion. Prompt action is necessary for mold removal.

Excessive Humidity

Excessive humidity is the ultimate breeding ground for mold growth. When humidity levels exceed 60% RH or higher, especially in enclosed spaces, the air becomes saturated with moisture and result in conditions that can allow mold growth. Areas like bathrooms, basements, crawlspaces, or poorly ventilated rooms are particularly susceptible. High humidity also inhibits proper drying, allowing mold to spread further.
