Mold Remediation in Yonkers, NY

Mold Remediation in Yonkers: local conditions

Yonkers, NY sits on glacial clay and silt and has a humid continental climate with about 38–42" of precipitation a year. The local water table is variable, higher near the Great Lakes and river valleys, with significant winter freeze–thaw cycling, and older homes with full basements are common upstate. In practical terms, lake-effect moisture, heavy snowmelt and freeze–thaw are hard on older foundations — which is exactly why mold remediation is a common need here.
