Passaic County’s mix of historic mill homes in Paterson, older apartment buildings in Clifton, and humid suburban neighborhoods in Wayne and Totowa makes it especially prone to indoor mold problems.
Older basements in Paterson and Clifton often suffer from chronic dampness due to high groundwater levels, while in Wayne and Totowa, summer humidity can quickly trigger mold growth after even minor leaks.
At Kraus Restoration, we provide certified mold cleanup and remediation services across Passaic County, NJ — restoring healthy indoor air and protecting your property long-term.

Why Mold Problems Are Common in Passaic County
The county’s climate and aging infrastructure make it easy for mold to thrive:
-
Historic basements in Paterson and Clifton trap ground moisture
-
Summer humidity in Wayne, Totowa, and Woodland Park leads to fast mold spread
-
Old plumbing systems often leak unnoticed behind drywall
-
Post-storm flooding in low-lying neighborhoods increases moisture retention
Prolonged mold exposure can cause allergies, asthma flare-ups, and sinus irritation — especially in children and seniors.
Our team uses EPA-approved, family-safe products to remove contamination without introducing harsh chemicals.
