The faster the water is removed, the less chance exists for mold to cause additional damage.<\/p>\n<p>H&amp;H Environmental Construction and Consulting provides mold cleanup services in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.<em> Call us today at 845-707-0265, and count on a written, fully transferable warranty on all jobs.<\/em><\/p>\n  <div class=\"related-post grid\">\r\n      <div class=\"post-list \">\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"item\">\r\n          \r\n  <a class=\"title post_title\"  title=\"Mold Remediation &#8211; What is it?\" href=\"https:\/\/hhenvironmental.com\/articles\/mold-remediation-what-is-it\">\r\n        Mold Remediation &#8211; What is it?  <\/a>\r\n\r\n  <p class=\"excerpt post_excerpt\">\r\n    Mold remediation (or mold removal) involves an expert assessment of a mold problem and its severity, removal of the mold, <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/hhenvironmental.com\/articles\/mold-remediation-what-is-it\"> Read more<\/a>  <\/p>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n              <div class=\"item\">\r\n          \r\n  <a class=\"title post_title\"  title=\"Discovered: Fungus Spews Spores at 55 Mph\" href=\"https:\/\/hhenvironmental.com\/articles\/discovered-fungus-spews-spores-at-55-mph\">\r\n        Discovered: Fungus Spews Spores at 55 Mph  <\/a>\r\n\r\n  <p class=\"excerpt post_excerpt\">\r\n    Scientists report in the journal PLoS ONE that fungi may be one of the fastest land species, clocking speeds of <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/hhenvironmental.com\/articles\/discovered-fungus-spews-spores-at-55-mph\"> Read more<\/a>  <\/p>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n              <div class=\"item\">\r\n          \r\n  <a class=\"title post_title\"  title=\"Mold Inspections for Real Estate Closings\" href=\"https:\/\/hhenvironmental.com\/articles\/mold-inspections-for-real-estate-closings\">\r\n        Mold Inspections for Real Estate Closings  <\/a>\r\n\r\n  <p class=\"excerpt post_excerpt\">\r\n    No one wants to buy a house with a mold problem.
