Brooklyn-based restoration company Whac A Mold emphasizes the importance of IICRC certification in delivering professional mold remediation services to residential and commercial properties throughout New York. The family-owned company maintains strict adherence to industry standards established by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) while providing 24/7 emergency response services.
The IICRC certification represents the highest standard in the restoration industry, requiring extensive training in proper containment procedures, removal techniques, and safety protocols. This certification ensures technicians follow EPA guidelines and employ professional-grade equipment throughout the remediation process.
“IICRC certification isn’t just a credential on the wall—it represents our commitment to following proven scientific methods for safe and effective mold removal,” said Yitzchak Blachorsky, owner of Whac A Mold. “Every project we undertake follows the same rigorous standards, whether we’re addressing mold in a residential basement after flooding or managing remediation in a commercial facility.”
Mold growth poses significant health risks and structural concerns for property owners, particularly in areas prone to moisture accumulation. Common problem areas include spaces affected by flooding or leaks, humid environments such as bathrooms and kitchens, areas around air conditioning units, and locations near leaky windows and doors. Hidden mold often develops behind drywall, above ceiling panels, under flooring, and in basements or attics.
The company’s remediation process follows a systematic approach beginning with comprehensive inspection to identify all affected areas and moisture sources. Containment procedures prevent cross-contamination during removal, while HEPA filtration systems capture airborne spores. Surface cleaning and sanitation complete the remediation, with optional reconstruction services available for damaged structural elements.
Beyond mold remediation, the company provides comprehensive disaster cleanup services including water damage restoration, fire damage restoration, storm cleanup, asbestos removal, and lead removal. This full-service approach allows property owners to address multiple restoration needs through a single certified provider.
“Property owners often don’t realize that proper Mold Removal requires more than just surface cleaning,” added Blachorsky. “Our IICRC training teaches us to identify and address the moisture sources that enable mold growth, ensuring long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes.”
The company serves both residential homeowners and commercial property managers throughout Brooklyn and surrounding areas. Commercial clients benefit from discreet service delivery that minimizes business disruption, while residential customers receive thorough remediation focused on protecting family health and property value.
Whac A Mold operates as a licensed and insured restoration contractor, working directly with insurance companies to facilitate claims processing. The company maintains a 5.0 rating based on more than 51 customer reviews, with service across emergency response and planned remediation projects.
Established as a family-owned business in Brooklyn, the company combines traditional customer service values with modern restoration technology and techniques. Their team of IICRC-certified technicians undergoes continuous training to stay current with evolving industry standards and best practices in mold remediation and disaster restoration services.
