Forest Hills, Queens County
Your Local Mold Remediation Experts in Forest Hills
If you're in Forest Hills and need mold remediation, Prime Restoration & Construction is your local expert. We've been serving Queens County and the surrounding areas for over 25 years, and our crews know Forest Hills properties inside and out.
Queens' two-family homes and attached houses mean that damage in one unit often affects a shared wall, basement, or neighboring property, which adds coordination to every restoration job. The borough's mix of older single-family homes and denser multi-family blocks each come with their own quirks — older homes often have outdated electrical and plumbing, while attached homes require careful containment to avoid affecting neighbors. We've restored and renovated properties across Queens for years and know how to navigate parking, access, and co-op or landlord approval where it applies.
When you call Prime, you get a team that understands the specific challenges facing Forest Hills homeowners. We're licensed, insured, and available 24/7 for emergencies. Call us at 631-922-9900 or request a free quote online.

Our Process
How Mold Remediation Works in Forest Hills
Inspection & Moisture Source ID
We identify the mold, determine the species and extent, and — most importantly — find the moisture source feeding it. Mold can't grow without moisture, so we locate and stop the water first.
Containment & Removal
We seal the affected area with plastic sheeting and negative air machines to prevent spores from spreading to clean areas. Contaminated materials are carefully removed and bagged, then surfaces are treated with antimicrobials.
Verification & Prevention
We conduct post-remediation testing to confirm mold levels are back to normal, repair any damaged building materials, and provide recommendations to prevent future mold growth by addressing humidity and ventilation.
FAQ
Mold Remediation Questions in Forest Hills
Visible mold growth (black, green, or white spots on walls, ceilings, or grout), a persistent musty odor, or unexplained allergy symptoms that improve when you leave the house are all signs. If you've had water damage that wasn't fully dried within 48 hours, mold is likely already developing. We offer inspections with moisture meters and, when needed, air quality testing.
Stachybotrys chartarum (commonly called 'black mold') can produce mycotoxins that may cause health issues, especially with prolonged exposure. All mold species can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory problems. Regardless of species, the CDC recommends prompt removal of any indoor mold growth. Our team is trained and equipped to safely remediate all mold types, including Stachybotrys.
Not if the moisture source is fixed. Mold remediation without addressing the underlying moisture is wasted money — the mold will return. That's why we identify and correct the water source as part of every remediation. If the issue was a leak, we fix the leak. If it's humidity, we recommend dehumidification or ventilation improvements. We also provide post-remediation verification to confirm the job is complete.
