“I’ve been in the property management business for over 20 years, and in that time I’ve worked with many restoration companies. KPM Restoration is hands down the best I’ve ever dealt with. From the first call through the completion of the job, their team was professional, responsive, and incredibly thorough. They communicated clearly, showed up when they said they would, and handled the entire process with a level of organization and care that is rare in this industry. Restoration work often happens during stressful situations, and KPM made the process smooth and manageable. Their workmanship and attention to detail were excellent, and they treated the property as if it were their own. If you’re looking for a restoration company that is reliable, efficient, and truly knows what they’re doing, I would highly recommend KPM Restoration.”

What to Know
Understanding Mold Growth
New York State Mold Protocol
New York State requires mold inspection and mold remediation to be performed by separate companies to ensure unbiased assessments. First, a licensed mold inspector assesses your property and provides a detailed report. KPM Restoration can recommend trusted mold assessors in the Schenectady area. Then, as a licensed mold remediation company, we follow the remediation plan to remove the mold. Finally, the mold inspector returns to confirm successful remediation.
Why Mold Needs Professional Attention
Schenectady's older housing stock, with stone foundations, limited ventilation, and high humidity summers, creates ideal conditions for mold growth. Mold commonly develops after water damage, plumbing leaks, or flooding. It can spread quickly behind walls and under flooring where you cannot see it, causing health concerns and structural damage.
We Work With Your Insurance
We have staff who used to work for insurance companies, so we know how the claims process works from the inside. We handle your paperwork, coordinate with your adjuster, and bill your homeowners insurance directly so you can focus on getting back to normal.
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 Schenectady: Common Questions
Does KPM do mold testing and inspection in Schenectady?
No, and in New York that is by design. State Article 32 requires mold assessment and mold remediation to be handled by separate companies so the inspection stays unbiased. KPM is a licensed remediation contractor, so we work from a licensed assessor's remediation plan, and we can recommend trusted independent assessors in the Schenectady area.
What causes mold in Schenectady homes?
Schenectady's older housing stock, with stone foundations, limited ventilation, and humid Capital Region summers, gives mold the moisture it needs. Most of the mold we remediate traces back to a plumbing leak, a damp basement or crawl space, or unaddressed water damage. It often grows behind walls and under flooring before anyone sees it.
Is the mold in my house dangerous?
Mold can trigger allergic reactions, asthma, and respiratory issues, and it is a bigger risk for children, older adults, and anyone with a weakened immune system. Left alone it also damages drywall, framing, and insulation. The longer it sits, the larger the remediation, so it is worth addressing early.
Will my insurance cover mold remediation?
It depends on the cause. Mold tied to a sudden covered water loss, like a burst pipe, is often covered, while mold from long-term humidity or neglect usually is not. We document the source, bill in Xactimate, and work directly with your adjuster.
