Expert Mold Remediation & Indoor Air Quality Solutions in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Restoring Safety and Comfort with Advanced Mold Removal and Air Quality Solutions
In Albuquerque, New Mexico, and across Bernalillo County and surrounding regions like Rio Rancho, Los Lunas, Belen, Edgewood, and Corrales, mold is a persistent problem that can compromise both property integrity and occupant health. The region’s unique climate—marked by seasonal rains, occasional flooding, and fluctuating indoor humidity—creates ideal conditions for mold growth, especially in poorly ventilated areas or structures with previous water damage.
Mold contamination often develops silently, thriving behind walls, under flooring, or within HVAC systems. By the time visible signs appear, colonies may have already spread, releasing airborne spores
that can trigger allergic reactions, respiratory issues, and even more serious health concerns for vulnerable individuals. In commercial spaces, mold can disrupt operations, cause costly damage, and negatively impact employee productivity. Our process begins with a detailed assessment and moisture detection to locate all affected areas. We then implement strict containment, HEPA filtration, and thorough cleaning to ensure spores are removed and recurrence is prevented.
At NM Abatement LLC, our certified mold remediation specialists provide comprehensive inspection, removal, and prevention services tailored to New Mexico’s diverse property types, from historic adobe residences in Old Town Albuquerque to modern office buildings along the I-25 corridor. Led by Erik and Clovis, with over 30 years of combined environmental remediation expertise, our team uses industry-approved methods and state-of-the-art equipment to eliminate mold at its source and restore healthy indoor air quality. By combining scientific precision with a deep understanding of local building conditions, we deliver solutions that safeguard your property and provide lasting peace of mind.
Our Mold Remediation & Indoor Air Quality Services
Mold Inspection and Assessment
Our certified inspectors thoroughly evaluate the property, identifying visible mold and hidden growth within walls, flooring, and ductwork. Using moisture meters, infrared imaging, and air sampling, we pinpoint contamination sources and extent. This detailed assessment guides a customized remediation plan that ensures complete removal and long-term prevention of mold recurrence.
Containment and Air Filtration
Before remediation begins, we isolate affected areas with physical barriers and apply negative air pressure systems to prevent mold spores from migrating. HEPA filtration captures airborne particles during cleanup, maintaining safe air quality throughout the process and protecting unaffected areas, ensuring a controlled, safe, and compliant remediation environment from start to finish.
Safe Mold Removal and Cleaning
We remove mold from affected materials using industry-approved cleaning agents, specialized equipment, and proven techniques. Contaminated materials beyond repair are safely discarded, while salvageable surfaces are thoroughly sanitized. This process eliminates spores, restores property hygiene, and protects occupant health by addressing contamination at its source with precision and care.
Moisture Source Identification and Repair
Effective mold remediation means eliminating its cause. We detect and repair water intrusion points such as roof leaks, faulty plumbing, or inadequate drainage. By resolving moisture issues, we prevent recontamination, protect building structures, and ensure a stable, dry environment where mold cannot regrow, safeguarding the property’s long-term health and value.
Post-Remediation Verification
After cleanup, we conduct clearance testing and indoor air quality assessments to ensure spore counts are at safe, healthy levels. This verification provides documented proof of successful remediation for your records, ensuring your property meets environmental health standards and is ready for safe, ongoing occupancy without lingering contamination concerns.
Preventive Solutions and Education
We equip property owners with tailored strategies to maintain mold-free spaces, including humidity control recommendations, ventilation upgrades, and routine inspections. Educating clients empowers them to identify early warning signs and take proactive measures, ensuring healthier indoor environments and preventing costly future mold remediation projects before they become necessary.
Benefits of Professional Mold Remediation
Protects Occupant Health
Mold exposure can trigger allergies, asthma flare-ups, and other respiratory problems. Professional remediation eliminates mold colonies and airborne spores, significantly reducing health risks. This creates a safer living or working environment for residents, employees, and visitors, while supporting overall well-being through improved air quality and a clean, contaminant-free property.
Prevents Structural Damage
Unchecked mold can gradually weaken building materials, including drywall, ceilings, subflooring, and wooden supports. Early professional intervention stops deterioration, preserving structural integrity. This prevents costly repairs, protects long-term property value, and ensures your home or business remains safe, stable, and functional without hidden moisture-related damage compromising essential building components.
Improves Indoor Air Quality
Using HEPA filtration and specialized cleaning, professional remediation removes airborne mold spores and allergens. This results in cleaner, fresher air and reduces respiratory irritation. Improved indoor air quality supports better health, comfort, and productivity for occupants, making the property a healthier place to live, work, or visit daily.
Addresses Hidden Mold Growth
Mold often develops out of sight—in walls, attics, crawl spaces, or HVAC ducts. Our thorough inspections locate these concealed colonies. Treating them at the source prevents ongoing contamination, ensures complete removal, and stops spores from spreading to other areas, avoiding costly, recurring mold problems in the future.
Ensures Long-Term Prevention
We go beyond removal by addressing the root causes of mold growth, such as leaks, condensation, or inadequate ventilation. Correcting these moisture issues creates a dry, stable environment where mold cannot thrive, protecting your property from future infestations and maintaining a healthy indoor space year-round.
Meets Regulatory Standards
For commercial and rental properties, mold remediation ensures compliance with state and federal health and safety regulations. Our documentation supports insurance claims, legal requirements, and property transactions. Meeting these standards protects occupants, satisfies regulatory agencies, and reinforces your commitment to maintaining safe, healthy indoor environments for all users.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if I have mold in my property?
Signs of mold include musty odors, visible discoloration on walls, ceilings, or floors, and increased allergy or respiratory symptoms. Professional inspections locate both visible and hidden mold, using specialized detection tools to identify contamination areas and develop an effective remediation plan tailored to your property’s unique conditions.
Is mold dangerous to everyone?
Mold exposure can affect anyone, but individuals with asthma, allergies, weakened immune systems, or chronic respiratory issues are at higher risk of health complications. Symptoms can include coughing, wheezing, eye irritation, and sinus congestion. Professional remediation minimizes exposure, restoring healthy indoor air quality and protecting vulnerable occupants from ongoing risks.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
Small, surface-level mold can sometimes be cleaned with appropriate products. However, deeper or widespread infestations require professional remediation to prevent recurrence. DIY attempts often miss hidden colonies inside walls, HVAC systems, or flooring, allowing mold to regrow and continue affecting indoor air quality and occupant health over time.
How long does mold remediation take?
The timeframe depends on contamination extent, property size, and moisture source complexity. Most residential jobs take one to three days, while larger commercial or industrial projects require additional time. Professional teams work efficiently while ensuring complete removal, safety compliance, and restoration of healthy indoor air quality before project completion.
Will mold return after removal?
If the underlying moisture problem remains, mold can reappear even after removal. Our remediation process addresses both the visible contamination and the root cause, such as leaks or poor ventilation, ensuring long-term prevention and reducing the likelihood of mold growth returning in the future.
Do you test air quality after remediation?
Yes. We perform post-remediation air quality testing to verify spore counts are within safe levels. This ensures your indoor environment meets health standards, providing documented proof of successful remediation, improved air quality, and a safe living or working space for all occupants moving forward.
Is your mold removal process safe for children and pets?
Yes. We follow strict safety protocols, including containment barriers, HEPA air filtration, and the use of approved cleaning solutions. These measures protect all occupants, including children and pets, from exposure during remediation, ensuring a safe, healthy environment throughout the entire process and after project completion.
Do you handle commercial mold remediation?
Yes. We provide comprehensive mold remediation services for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Our approach meets all regulatory requirements, protects occupant health, and addresses both mold removal and prevention, ensuring businesses and organizations maintain safe, compliant, and healthy indoor environments for employees, customers, and visitors.
