How it works
- Say what you found. The form takes a minute, or text photos. Give a rough size and whether there was a leak.
- A local company calls back. A few questions, then a time to come look.
- The scope and price come in writing first. Over 10 square feet of mold, New York wants a separate licensed assessor's plan, and the company will explain how that part works.
Questions
Do you cover all of Orchard Park?
Yes, including ZIP 14127. The company that calls will confirm your address is in its area.
How soon can someone come out?
It depends on the week. The days after a big thaw or a summer downpour are busy for everyone. Say in your request if water is still coming in or if someone in the house has asthma, and the company will tell you when it can come.
Do I need a mold assessor first?
For mold over 10 square feet, New York requires a licensed assessor's plan before a licensed remediation contractor starts, and the two can't be the same company on your property. A smaller patch, or a homeowner doing their own work, needs no license.
