Restoration, Mold & Flood Remediation
Water damage, mold and lead paint are the three findings most likely to kill a contract after inspection. We remediate them before a buyer ever walks through the door.
Our restoration company handles the work most brokerages have to refer out. Our founder is a licensed contractor, certified mold remediator, flood mitigation specialist and lead-based paint removal professional — and the inventor of the patent-pending Flood Box™ Flood & Mold Prevention System, which protects homes before water becomes damage.
What’s included
- Water extraction, structural drying and full restoration
- Mold inspection, containment, remediation and clearance testing
- Lead-based paint assessment and certified safe removal
- Asbestos coordination and post-remediation rebuild
- Flood mitigation for waterfront and low-lying Long Island properties
- Flood Box™ installation to prevent future flood and mold damage
- Documentation packages that satisfy lenders, insurers and buyers
For Sellers
A clean bill of health on water, mold and lead lets your home appraise and close without last-minute renegotiation.
For Buyers
You move into a home already remediated and protected, with paperwork that satisfies your lender and insurer.
Remediation and rebuild are handled by the same team, so there is no gap between tearing out and putting back.
Background
Why this matters
Water, mold and lead are the three inspection findings most likely to kill a contract after it is signed, and on Long Island they are common. Waterfront and low-lying properties across the South Shore, the North Shore and the barrier communities face flood exposure every season, and older housing stock throughout Nassau and Suffolk still carries lead paint and asbestos. Real Estate Plan holds the licenses to deal with all of it directly: our founder is a certified mold remediator, a flood mitigation specialist and a licensed lead-based paint removal professional, in addition to being a licensed contractor.
He is also the inventor of the patent-pending Flood Box™ Flood & Mold Prevention System, a product designed to stop water from becoming damage in the first place rather than remediating after the fact. For a seller, remediation handled before listing means the home passes inspection cleanly, appraises properly and closes without a late renegotiation. For a buyer, it means moving into a property that has been remediated, protected and documented — with the clearance paperwork lenders and insurers require. Because remediation and reconstruction are handled by the same team, there is no gap between the tear-out and the rebuild, and no second contractor to chase.
How It Works
Our process, step by step
- Inspection and testingWe assess for water intrusion, mold, lead and asbestos, and test where a clearance document will be needed later.
- Containment and remediationAffected areas are contained and remediated to protocol, protecting the rest of the home during the work.
- Clearance and documentationPost-remediation testing produces the paperwork lenders, insurers and buyers ask for.
- RebuildThe same team restores what was removed, so there is no gap between demolition and reconstruction.
- PreventionWhere flooding is a recurring risk, we install the patent-pending Flood Box™ system so the problem does not return.
Flood exposure is a defining feature of this market. Waterfront and low-lying properties across the South Shore, the North Shore harbors and the barrier communities face storm surge and groundwater issues every season, and pre-1978 housing throughout Nassau and Suffolk still commonly carries lead paint.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will mold stop my sale?
Untreated mold frequently does, because lenders and insurers react to it and buyers assume the worst. Remediated and documented before listing, it usually becomes a non-issue.
What is the Flood Box™?
It is a patent-pending flood and mold prevention system invented by our founder, designed to stop water from becoming damage rather than remediating after the fact. It is particularly relevant for waterfront and low-lying Long Island properties.
Do you handle lead paint and asbestos?
Yes. Our founder is a licensed lead-based paint removal professional and a certified mold remediator, and we coordinate asbestos abatement and the post-remediation rebuild.
