“I just got off the phone with Dave at KPM. He gave me great advice on how to address my issue without trying to oversell or push products. I had an idea of what to do, and he talked me through some options and provided recommendations. So I'll try the DIY route, and if that doesn't work, I am DEFINITELY calling KPM. We had some good laughs, too. You need people like that in situations that can be pretty stressful.”
Lori Hewig
“Huge thanks to KPM Restoration! Our area was hit hard by severe storms early on a Sunday morning, flooding our finished basement and causing significant property damage. I contacted several companies, but no one else could respond as quickly as KPM—especially when time was critical due to the risk of mold. Within hours of my call, they had a team mobilized and at my home two hours away. They were fast, efficient, and extremely professional—yet still friendly and courteous throughout the entire process. They were also very helpful when it came to pricing and billing, which made an already stressful situation a bit easier to manage. I highly recommend KPM Restoration to anyone dealing with flood or water damage. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine care for their customers truly set them apart.”
Michael Burgess
“Great people to work with—we had a sump pump failure and resulting complete basement flood—KPM responded immediately, pumped out the water, removed all the damaged/ruined basement contents, dried out the basement and applied anti-mold/anti- fungal treatment. Positive, polite, encouraging staff throughout the process—excellent work and all at a very fair price. My highest recommendation for this business.”

“We had a water issue that KPM came out within a few hours to help us. Tommy Robertson did an amazing job putting the lower level of our house back together. Floors, molding and caulking in some very difficult areas. Thank You”

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.
Groundwater, Wells, and Damp Foundations
The Town of Northumberland's comprehensive plan describes sandy soils with a seasonally high groundwater table across the western and central town and a high water table in the eastern half. Most homes run on private wells and septic, with no public sewer in the hamlets. That means below-grade spaces that stay damp after spring melt, and slow leaks at well lines and pressure tanks that nobody sees until there is a smell. We find the moisture with meters and thermal imaging, and we tell you plainly when the source needs a plumber or a drainage fix before remediation will hold.
Mold After Snook Kill and Storm Flooding
Saratoga County's 2025 hazard mitigation plan ranks flooding a high-risk hazard for Northumberland and records flood entries for the town in 2006, 2011, 2019, and 2021. Floodwater that was pumped out but never dried to a measured standard tends to show up months later as mold at the bottom of walls and under flooring. If that happened in your house, have an assessor look before you refinish the space. For a recent leak or flood, start with water damage restoration in Gansevoort.
Older Homes and 1990s Subdivisions
Northumberland has about 1,970 homes. The county plan counts roughly 528 built before 1980, and the town plan describes a wave of subdivisions in the western part of town during the 1990s. Older homes tend to hide mold behind paneling and in attics with poor ventilation; newer homes hide it behind finished drywall where a leak runs unseen. Either way, the fix is the same: remove what is affected, treat what stays, and dry it before it is closed back up. For fire, sewage cleanup, or reconstruction, see our Saratoga Springs 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 Gansevoort: Common Questions
Who checks for mold before remediation in Gansevoort?
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 remediation 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.
Our basement gets damp every spring. Is that a mold risk?
It can be. Much of Northumberland sits on soils with a seasonally high groundwater table, so below-grade spaces can stay damp for weeks. Drywall, carpet, or stored boxes against a damp foundation wall are where mold usually starts. Fixing the moisture source comes first; remediating without it means the mold comes back.
