Mold Removal in Great Neck, NY, Across the Peninsula's Villages

Tell us which Great Neck village your home is in and where the damp is showing, and we will tell you whether it is more likely rising from the ground or leaking out of the house, and who has to be involved before work starts. The peninsula's villages keep very different records: Great Neck Plaza reports no land in the 100 year floodplain, the Village of Great Neck's own USGS well read the water table about 34 feet down, and shoreline wells in Kings Point read 6 to 8 feet.

Tell us the town, the lowest level of the house and where the damp is showing. In Nassau that is usually enough to say whether the water is coming up from the ground or out of the house, and which licensed trade the job needs.

Six quick questions about the house and where the damp is showing, then your details. It takes about a minute.

Question 1What are you dealing with?
Question 2Which part of the county is the house in?

How far down the water sits under a Nassau house changes a great deal from the South Shore to the North Shore hills. Near the bays and harbors it can be close to the surface. Under much of the middle of the island and the hills it is far below the floor, so damp there usually comes from the house itself. The town is enough, and not sure is a fine answer.

Question 3What is the lowest level of the house?

A house built on a concrete slab, a house with a basement and a house over a crawl space get wet in different ways, and the fix is different for each. Many homes in this county were built on slabs with no basement at all.

Question 4Where is it showing up?

Where the damp appears is the first clue to which way the water came. Damp that starts low and spreads up points one way, and damp around a fixture, a window or a ceiling points another.

Question 5How long has this been going on?

Something that got wet in the last day or two can often still be dried. Something that has stayed damp for weeks usually cannot, and the job changes.

Question 6What would you like to happen next?

In New York the company that assesses mold and the company that removes it cannot be the same company on one job, so it helps to know where you want to start.

Planning

Which Great Neck village you are in, and why it matters

Great Neck is a name shared by a cluster of separately incorporated villages and some unincorporated sections, and each village keeps its own building department, while the unincorporated parts answer to the Town of North Hempstead. So the first thing to settle on a Great Neck job is which government the house is under. The records differ as much as the governments do. Great Neck Estates names its waterfront properties as its most flood prone, the Village of Great Neck has 124 paid flood insurance claims since 1978, and Great Neck Plaza says it has no floodplain at all. Groundwater sits within a few feet of the surface at the Kings Point shore wells and more than 30 feet down under the Village of Great Neck, so the same musty lower level means different things a mile apart. About one in five homes in the Village of Great Neck is in a building of twenty or more units, and there, water from a neighbor's unit or a shared pipe comes before either theory.

A booking service, not the contractorWe arrange the job and a separately licensed New York firm carries it out, sets its own price and signs its own agreement with you.
The firm that assesses never removesState law keeps the company that writes the mold plan apart from the company that carries it out, and bars one owner from holding a stake in both on your property.
Every trade licensed and insuredEvery firm we book holds the New York license its part of the work calls for, and you can look any mold license up on the state's own open register.
