Mold Remediation in Ballston Lake
Mold in Your Ballston Lake Home?
KPM Restoration is a New York State licensed mold remediation contractor serving Ballston Lake from our Mechanicville headquarters. In the 12019 ZIP code, about four in five homes are owner-occupied and about 40% were built in 1990 or later, so most mold we see here is in finished basements and lower levels after a backup, a storm, or a slow leak. We contain, remove, and treat mold under Article 32 and IICRC S520, working from a plan written by an independent licensed assessor.

“keep and restoration was amazing when I had a huge back up at my house and I couldn't ask for a better crew for my house in Clifton Park. Zach and cam were helpful”
Meaghan Moore
“Met the owner today, super friendly guy and easy to work with!”
Jaimie Ladd
“A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of discovering a leak in my downstairs bathroom, only to open the ceiling to find mold and mildew inside. I called Jamie and within a day, Dave Martone came to investigate. He quickly and carefully diagnosed the problem and crew members Tommy and Don got to work a few days later. The job required a demo of my upstairs shower along with drywall and insulation downstairs. The entire crew was amazing and Dave was quick to respond to any questions I had along the way. The demo job was clean and delicate and everything was cleaned up beautifully. Within ten days of contacting them, the entire job was completed and now I’m ready to rebuild again. It goes without saying that situations like this are always unexpected and stressful, but I called the right company and I couldn’t be happier. I can’t recommend these guys enough! For anyone out there dealing with water damage, mold, or the like, do yourself a favor and call KPM.”

What to Know
Understanding Mold Growth
How Mold Remediation Works in New York
Under Labor Law Article 32, mold projects larger than 10 square feet are handled by licensed companies, and the assessor and the remediator have to be separate. A licensed mold assessor evaluates the property and writes the remediation plan. KPM Restoration quotes from that plan and does the work: containment, HEPA air filtration, removal of affected materials, cleaning, and antimicrobial treatment. The assessor then returns for clearance, and containment stays up until it passes.
From Septic to Sewer: Backups Leave Mold Behind
Around the lake, the Town of Ballston replaced inadequate on-site septic systems with a municipal sewer serving more than 700 properties, finished in December 2024. Most of that system is low pressure, with grinder pumps that stop in a power outage unless the home has a backup generator. A backup that was mopped up and fan-dried instead of cleaned out is a common way for a lower level to end up with mold months later. For an active backup, start with water damage restoration in Ballston Lake.
Storm Water and Finished Lower Levels
Saratoga County's 2025 hazard mitigation plan ranks flooding a high-risk hazard for the Town of Ballston and names Outlet Road as a road with frequent flooding. On July 16, 2023, a Sunday evening storm flooded parts of Saratoga County, with the Malta and Ballston Lake area affected the most. Water that soaks the bottom of finished drywall, carpet pad, and stored boxes and is not dried to a measured standard is where mold starts. We find hidden moisture with meters and thermal imaging, remove what is affected, and dry what stays before it is closed back up.
Fixing the Source First
Remediation holds only if the moisture source is fixed. That can mean a grinder pump service call, a plumbing repair, gutter and grading work, or a dehumidifier for a damp lower level. We tell you plainly what we see and who should fix it. For fire, sewage cleanup, or reconstruction, see our Clifton Park restoration services.
How Mold Remediation Works in New York State
New York State requires that mold inspection and mold remediation be performed by separate companies. This prevents conflicts of interest and protects homeowners.
Hire a Licensed Mold Assessor
An independent NYS Licensed Mold Assessor inspects your property, conducts sampling, and writes a formal remediation protocol. We can recommend trusted mold assessors in the Capital Region and Hudson Valley.
Assessment Review and Quote
We review the mold assessment report, visit your property, and provide a detailed quote. The source of the moisture must be addressed before remediation begins, otherwise the mold will return. We can handle the repair ourselves or coordinate with plumbers or roofers to get it resolved.
Containment and Remediation
We set up containment barriers and negative air pressure systems to isolate the affected area. HEPA-filtered air scrubbers capture airborne spores. Contaminated materials are safely removed following the assessor's remediation plan and IICRC protocols, and all surfaces are treated with professional-grade antimicrobial agents.
Clearance and Restoration
Your mold assessor returns to perform clearance testing and confirm successful remediation. We then restore the space, including drywall, insulation, and paint, back to pre-loss condition.

FAQ
Mold Remediation in Ballston Lake: Common Questions
Who checks for mold before remediation in Ballston Lake?
A separately licensed mold assessor. New York Labor Law Article 32 does not allow the same company to do both the mold assessment and the mold remediation on the same property. The assessor writes the remediation plan, KPM Restoration does the work as the licensed remediation contractor, and the assessor returns to confirm clearance.
How much does mold remediation cost?
Small projects typically run $1,500 to $3,500, finished basements and multi-room projects usually land between $3,500 and $8,000, and large or whole-home projects can exceed $10,000. Across our completed mold projects, the median is about $5,200. Our minimum project is $1,500. We quote from the assessor's remediation plan.
We had a sewer or grinder pump backup last year. Could there be mold now?
Possibly, if the affected materials were not removed and the area was not dried to a measured standard. Sewage is Category 3 water, so drywall, carpet, and insulation it touched should come out, not be dried in place. If that did not happen, have a licensed assessor look before you finish or refinish the space.
