Why Wendell Restoration Yonkers Is Yonkers’s Preferred Mold Remediation Company
Wendell Restoration Yonkers operates to The Relay Visibility Guarantee. That means every job gets a written scope, a written price before work starts, and a digital invoice texted to your phone that you pay from a link. The number on the screen is the number you pay. If something is not done right, our 365-Day Done Right Promise says we make it right, in writing, on every job. And if the repair fails, you get a free second visit. That is not marketing language. That is the company’s standing offer, and it has been since 2006, when Wendell Water Damage Restoration was founded as part of the Relay Home Co. family.
Our crews in Yonkers are led by Blake Sorensen. Every technician who walks through your door is background-checked and uniformed. You know who is coming, when they will arrive, and what the work costs before they get there. We document the entire process with before-and-after photos sent by text so you see the containment, the moisture mapping, the drying, and the final result without ever having to ask.
Our Mold Remediation team works to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards, using professional equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and XPOWER. That means real psychrometric drying (tracking the air’s moisture level so we know when your home is truly dry, not just surface-dry), real antimicrobial treatment, and real containment protocols. It is the same standard used on large commercial loss sites, applied to a three-bedroom colonial in Runyon Heights or a rental unit off McLean Avenue.
Restoration work we handle






Mold Removal Service in Yonkers
Mold Removal Service in Yonkers is about physically removing contaminated material in a city where pre-1940 homes hide moisture behind plaster-and-lath walls. In Yonkers, mold removal typically runs $1,200 to $4,000 per affected room. The job involves containment setup, HEPA air scrubbing, removal of damaged drywall or plaster, antimicrobial treatment, and drying. In older Yonkers homes, it also means checking cavities behind lath that a standard inspection misses. The work is done under IICRC protocol, and you get photo documentation at every step.
What Gets Removed, and What Gets Treated
Porous materials with visible mold growth, like drywall, insulation, and carpet pad, come out. Semi-porous surfaces like plaster can sometimes be treated and saved if the damage is early. In Yonkers row houses, shared walls mean we map moisture before cutting anything, because mold from a neighbor’s leak can travel through common brick party walls.
When You Need Full Removal, Not Just Cleaning
Surface mold from a one-time spill can sometimes be cleaned. But if you see mold returning after rain, or smell it inside walls, or the affected area is larger than ten square feet, you need full removal with containment. Skipping it in a pre-war Yonkers house usually means you will be doing the job twice. Call (631) 646-2175 and we will tell you honestly which path applies to your situation.
Mold Remediation Services in Yonkers
Mold Remediation Services in Yonkers go beyond removal to address the moisture source, because mold does not grow without water. Full remediation in Yonkers typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a basement or crawl space job, and $5,000 to $15,000 for whole-house remediation with multiple affected rooms. That includes containment, air filtration, structural drying, antimicrobial application, and repair of the moisture entry point. In Yonkers, that moisture entry point is often a bedrock basement that needs a sump pump or French drain installed as part of the job, because drying alone will not stop the next heavy rain from repeating the problem.
Containment and Air Scrubbers
Before we start, we seal off the affected area with 6-mil poly barriers and set up negative air pressure with HEPA air scrubbers. That prevents mold spores from moving through the rest of your home during removal. In Yonkers apartment buildings, we work in occupied units regularly, using containment zones that keep the work isolated so tenants in other units stay in place.

Sump Pumps and French Drains as Part of Remediation
In Park Hill and Nodine Hill, many basements are carved directly into bedrock. When water seeps in from the hillsides, it pools. There is no natural drainage. If we remediate the mold without addressing that pooling, the job fails. So we install sump pumps and French drains as part of the remediation scope when the moisture mapping shows active intrusion. That is not an upsell. It is how you prevent the mold from returning. Blake Sorensen writes it into the scope before work starts, in the same written price you approve up front.

AfterCommon Mold Remediation Problems We See in Yonkers Homes
- Bedrock basements that trap water. Homes in Park Hill and Nodine Hill often have foundations cut straight into the city’s stone. Water enters, pools, and feeds mold indefinitely. Remediation without a sump pump or French drain is a guaranteed callback in these homes.
- Hidden moisture behind plaster-and-lath walls. Drywall removal is straightforward. Plaster-and-lath is not. Moisture hides in the cavities between lath strips and feeds mold behind intact plaster surfaces. We use moisture mapping to find these pockets before we recommend how much wall needs to open.
- Knob-and-tube wiring in pre-1940 houses. Air movers blowing against old cloth-wrapped wiring is a fire risk. In Yonkers’s oldest homes, we place equipment only after checking wall cavities and wiring conditions. Damp knob-and-tube with a fan on it is how a mold job becomes an electrical emergency.
- Original hardwood damaged by repeat humidity. Many Yonkers pre-war homes still have original oak flooring that has soaked through decades of basement humidity. Water-based antimicrobials can wick into that wood and warp it. We choose treatment methods that respect the material, especially in homes south of Ashburton Avenue where original flooring is common.

FAQs About Mold Remediation in Yonkers
Bedrock basements change everything because water that enters has nowhere to drain. We have to install sump pumps or French drains as part of the remediation in many Park Hill and Nodine Hill homes, otherwise the mold returns after the next storm. Call (631) 646-2175 and we will tell you whether your basement qualifies as bedrock or just a wet basement.
Yes. Plaster-and-lath traps moisture in ways drywall does not, and hidden cavities behind lath can hold mold growth that never shows on the surface. We use moisture mapping to find these pockets and open only what is necessary. The drying equipment runs longer, and the scope accounts for that. Get a written price at (631) 646-2175.
Do not run fans on the affected area yourself. Damp knob-and-tube wiring plus moving air is a short-circuit risk. Shut off power to that area if you can do so safely, and call us at (631) 646-2175. Our team checks the wiring before placing any equipment, and we remediate the mold with the electrical hazard accounted for in the written scope.
Yes. We regularly work in occupied Yonkers apartment buildings, including large mid-century buildings along Central Park Avenue. We use containment zones and negative air pressure to isolate the affected unit, so neighbors and tenants in other units stay in place. The building owner gets photo documentation for insurance and management records. Call (631) 646-2175 to schedule an assessment.
Hillsides direct groundwater into basements and foundations, especially on the city’s west side. Flat areas of Westchester drain naturally. Yonkers homes on slopes need mechanical drainage, and mold cleanup that ignores that slope water will fail. That is why our scopes include drainage work when the moisture mapping shows slope intrusion. Call (631) 646-2175 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
