New York mold licenses
Mold testing in Buffalo NY, under a New York mold license
Environmental Air Solutions does mold testing and mold inspections in Buffalo NY and across Western New York under a New York State mold assessment license. On November 14, 2026, the Department of Labor's license records listed Mold Assessment Contractor License 25-61XEN-SHMO for Environmental Air Solutions, LLC and Mold Assessor License 25-61OFY-SHMO for Mason Bridges, the owner. Both were Active, expiring August 31, 2027. To book mold testing, request a quote.
What a mold test in Buffalo NY involves
Our mold testing in Buffalo NY starts with moisture mapping, using thermal imaging and moisture meters. The visit also takes spore-trap air samples indoors and an outdoor baseline sample, plus surface or bulk samples. EPA says that no EPA or other federal limits have been set for mold or mold spores.
What the state's mold law asks of a mold inspector
The mold licensing requirement in Article 32 of the state Labor Law applies from January 1, 2016. The Department of Labor's Mold Program says it is unlawful for any person to engage, advertise or hold themselves out as a mold assessor, remediation contractor, or abatement worker unless they have a valid mold license for the type of work they will be performing.
Home inspectors are covered too. The Mold Program says that persons who conduct home inspections as part of potential real estate transactions must also be licensed as a Mold Assessor if their inspections or reports include an assessment of mold conditions.
How to check a mold inspector's license
The Department of Labor says you can search for licensed mold assessor and mold remediator contractors by using its Licensed Mold Contractors Search Tool, which opens on data.ny.gov. There, the company dataset, Mold Contractor Licenses: Four Year Window, shows each company's license type and expiration date, and whether the license is Active. For a named assessor, the department says you can verify individual mold assessor and worker licenses by using its Mold Individual Licenses Search Tool. Look a company up before you book a mold inspection near you.
Air quality testing inside the house
AirNow, a partnership of EPA and other federal, tribal, state and local agencies, maps air quality with the U.S. Air Quality Index, which EPA calls its tool for communicating about outdoor air quality. Our indoor air quality testing in Buffalo logs the air inside the building instead, with sensors set at more than one point.

Why Choose Us
Straight answers from the
people who took the sample. No upsell.
Most environmental companies will test your home, then sell you the remediation. We don't. Our reports are independent — built to hold up at a closing table, an insurance claim, or with a regulator.
Evidence, not opinions
Every recommendation we make is backed by an instrument reading or a laboratory result. If we can't measure it, we say so.
Independent reports
We don't bundle testing with remediation. When we test, we test — so the results stay independent and trustworthy.
Speed without shortcuts
48-hour appointments and 24-hour lab turnaround are our baseline — never at the expense of protocol or care.
Licenses & Accreditations
Credentialed. Not just licensed.
Most NY inspectors hold only the basic state mold license. Mason Bridges holds a board-level certification recognized nationally, plus state inspector licenses for asbestos and mold. Engagements involving industrial hygiene are conducted with or supervised by an IH.

No Conflict of Interest · New York State
We do not perform both testing and removal on the same NY project.
Independent inspection findings depend on independence. When remediation is needed, we hand off a clear scope of work to a qualified contractor — never one we also bill for the removal. In Pennsylvania we offer mitigation through a sister operation, but we never bundle assessment + remediation on the same project.
A Small Family Business
Consulting with a family — not a corporation.
As a small, family-owned business, Environmental Air Solutions provides direct communication, detailed inspections, and personalized reporting. Unlike larger firms, our focus is clear answers, unbiased recommendations, and professional documentation that property owners, realtors, attorneys, and contractors can rely on.
We go above and beyond on scope-of-work development — other companies test, hand you a result, and leave you with "now what?" We tell you the source of origin, the path to resolution, and who to hire to execute it.
Where We Work
Two states. One promise.
New York · Pennsylvania · Erie County · Chautauqua County · and surrounding areas. Two regional offices — Orchard Park, NY and Erie, PA — staffed for same-week response. Outside this footprint? Call. We extend coverage selectively.
About Us
A small family business
with a laboratory mindset.
Environmental Air Solutions was founded in 2017 by Mason Bridges in Western New York. Today we run two regional offices — but our work still feels personal because it is. The same family that takes your call walks your basement, sets up the equipment, and explains the results.
That's the difference. And our customers in Buffalo, Erie, Pittsburgh, and beyond have rewarded us with a steady stream of referrals — from homeowners, real estate agents, attorneys, and home inspectors alike.
