A mold remediation company in New York claims that New York State doesn’t require mold to be completely removed — only that the area is “clean, dry, and free of visible mold.” In this episode, I dive into Article 32 of the Law and expose flaws in how some remediation contractors interpret — and twist — the language of the law to suit them. As a mold expert and a rocket scientist, I break down why their interpretation is misleading and unprofessional, using logic, the standard for professional mold remediation, and mold laws from other states for comparison.
You’ll learn:
- Why “mold-growth free” should be the goal — not what’s visible
- How NY’s law can be clarified to protect homeowners
- What homeowners should ask a mold remediation company to ensure all mold growth has been removed
