Mold is a fungal growth that forms and spreads on
various kinds of damp or decaying organic matter.Three main factors that contribute to mold growth
are: Food ((such as wood, cardboard, paper and
cellulose insulation) Moisture (i.,e. Water . THhis can
come from water leaks, flooding, or condensations)
Tmperature (Grows best in temeperatures between
40 to 100 F, with 70 tp 90 F being ideal for
unwanted grow)Toxic mold can have a grayish, soot-like texture, or
brown spots.Indoor mold exposure is a major health issue.

Sneezing, sore eyes, a runny nose, nausea, sore throat , fatigue and weakness, digestive issues (IBS, colitis etc. ) skin irritation (eczema, rosacea) and hair loss.
Mold can lead to neurological , cognitive and respiratory issues.

Zamlis LLC we identify surfaces, displaying water damage and/or mold growth conditions to develop a remediation plan. Our Phase I may entail one or all of the below techniques:
Take air and/or bulk samples for laboratory analysis as may be necessary to determine if indoor air quality is being affected by mold growth conditions.
Take moisture measurements and evaluate water damage sources (e.g. plumbing leaks, rainwater intrusion, condensation) in areas displaying water damage.
Recommend corrective actions or further evaluation.
After analysis, we will provide you with a verbal report of any preliminary findings approximately 48 hours after samples are sent to the lab. The written report is issued within 1-4 days after the verbal report. goes here

During Phase II our Zamlis LLC certified workers will follow EPA procedures to remediate and/or remove mold from your property. Our goal is to minimize costs,
prevent mold spores to spread into other areas. Thus protecting you, and our workers.Following our written report instructions, we will begin the preparation to remediate/remove the mold.
1)Mold Containment:
Negative air chambers- To isolate the contaminated area with physical barriers. Typically with polyethylene
sheeting.Negative air pressure: To keep the mold spores from spreading during the cleanup process.
We use HEPA approved air purifiers to filter mold spores out of the air during the removal process.
2)Removing Mold and mold Infested Materials
The time frame will depend on the amount of mold growth and the types of surfaces on which the mold appears.
Our mold professionals use anti fungal and anti microbial treatments to eliminate mold colonies from
forming.Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, porous materials and other building materials
may be removed.
3)Restoration
Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet; or it
may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
4)Cleaning
Rest assure our team will leave no trace of abatement nor mold! ;
5)A post remediation visual inspection air sampling and/or swab sampling will be performed upon clients
request and approval.
Whether you know the source of the mold, such as following a water-related disaster or you have noticed a musty smell and black spots on the walls, Zamlis LLC can help.
Our technicians are highly trained and licensed to work on mold removal through the five boroughs in New York City:
Our technician will first determine the exact roots of the problem by performing a series of tests that be will sent to a laboratory for an environmental microbial analyses.
After detecting the problem the humidity and moisture levels in the remediation area will be controlled. While proper safety would be placed to safeguard the health and concerns of the occupants.
After that, the experts will disinfect the mold growth and treat it with an antimicrobial coating in order to prevent mold growth.
After completion of remediation work, all the air will be scrubbed and HEPA vacuumed to remove any ambient mold spores.
