Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Great Neck, NY Mold Remediation Services
If you’ve discovered mold growth in your Nassau County home, scheduling an appointment with an experienced Great Neck, NY mold removal company is imperative. If this is the first time you’re dealing with this problem, however, you may have some questions about mold remediation.
Why is it important? What does it entail? How long will it take? These are just some of the questions that you may be asking.
To help you prepare for the process, below, you’ll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions that Nassau County homeowners – and you – may have about mold remediation.
Q: What is mold?
A: Mold is a type of fungus, and there are several different varieties. It thrives in moist, dark, and warm (above freezing) locations, which makes Nassau County an ideal climate for mold growth. It releases airborne spores, and as those spores land on surfaces, as long as the conditions are right, they can begin growing and spreading.
Q: Is mold dangerous?
A: Not always. In fact, in nature, mold is actually quite beneficial, as it plays a vital role in decomposition. When it grows indoors, however, mold can become problematic.
Mold spreads aggressively, and because it’s a living organism, it feeds on the materials it grows on and can leave extensive damage in its wake. In severe situations, mold growth can compromise the structural integrity of an entire building.
In addition to the structural damage it can cause, mold can also pose health problems. The spores can negatively impact your Nassau County home’s indoor air quality, and breathing it in can cause cold-like symptoms and allergic reactions, and can worsen cardiovascular issues, such as asthma and COPD.
Q: Why is mold remediation important?
A: Mold remediation is important, as it eliminates the fungus, prevents it from spreading, and minimizes the dangers that the organism can cause – both to your Nassau County home and to your health.
Q: What does mold remediation entail?
A: Mold remediation refers to the process that entails utilizing a variety of strategies to kill the fungi and prevent it from coming back and spreading, repair the damage that it has left in its wake, and to restore your Nassau County property to pre-mold condition. It’s a multi-step process, and while the process varies and depends on the Great Neck, NY mold removal company you hire, typically, it involves identifying, testing, drying, and cleaning, and the surfaces that the fungus was growing on are disinfected.
Q: How long does mold remediation take?
A: The amount of time mold remediation will take varies and depends on several factors. These factors include the extent of the damage to your Nassau County home and the company you hire. It’s important to note, however, that while a reputable Great Neck, NY mold removal company will try to get the job done as quickly as possible, to ensure efficient, long-lasting results, it can take time, so it’s important to have patience.

Some information about Great Neck, NY
Great Neck is a region on Long Island, New York, that covers a peninsula on the North Shore and includes nine villages, among them Great Neck, Great Neck Estates, Great Neck Plaza, Kings Point, and Russell Gardens, and a number of unincorporated areas, as well as an area south of the peninsula near Lake Success and the border territory of Queens. The incorporated village of Great Neck had a population of 9,989 at the 2010 census, while the larger Great Neck area comprises a residential community of some 40,000 people in nine villages and hamlets in the town of North Hempstead, of which Great Neck is the northwestern quadrant. Great Neck has five ZIP Codes (11020–11024), which are united by a park district, one library district, and one school district.
Before the Dutch and English settlers arrived on the peninsula of Great Neck in the 17th century, the Mattinecock Native Americans originally inhabited the shorelines of the peninsula. It was not until 1681 when the European settlers held the first town meeting. The Mattinecock or Metoac used Long Island Sound as a way to both fish and trade with others.
They referred to present-day Great Neck as Menhaden-Ock. It is speculated that they chose this name because of the large amount of fish in the area. With the arrival of the European settlers on the peninsula in the 1640s, Menhaden-Ock evolved into Madnan’s Neck. By 1670, Madnan’s Neck had further evolved into the current name Great Neck. Local legend has it that the name ‘Madnan’s Neck’ is named after Anne (or Nan) Hutchinson. It is said that Anne Hutchinson tried to take over what is considered present-day Kings Point upon her arrival to the peninsula. However, Anne Hutchinson could not actually procure a land grant or deed for the land that she desired. Her temper supposedly earned her the nickname Mad Nan.
On November 18, 1643, the Hempstead Plains, which included the peninsula of Great Neck, was sold to the Reverend Robert Fordham and John Carman. In the beginning, the Mattinecock Indians and the European settlers cooperated and coexisted very well together. The Mattinecock would teach the settlers their knowledge of the land in exchange for new technology from the settlers. The settlers even started using the Indian currency of wampum. However, this peaceful coexistence would not last forever, and the relationship between the Mattinecock and the settlers quickly began to deteriorate. Settlers often began complaining of unfriendly Mattinecock behavior, claiming that the natives would damage their homes and hurt their cattle. On November 18, 1659, the settlers passed a law that forced the natives to pay damages for white property that they had damaged. The problem between the settlers and the Mattinecock natives over land and property kept growing and finally came to a head in 1684. A commission of settlers had been elected and given the power to appease the Mattinecock and their leader Tackapousha. Tackapousha was eventually paid off, and received 120 pounds sterling for his land. Tackapousha eventually died, and his body still rests at the Lakeville AME Zion Church’s cemetery on Community Drive, across the street from North Shore University Hospital. The Lakeville AME Zion Church is one of the oldest churches in New York State.
