We have trained technicians who have the expertise and tools to assess whether your home or business has mold. If you do have a mold problem, we can identify it with skill and efficiency.
How do I know if I might have a mold problem?
- Some mold is visible. You may see dark spots beginning to appear on a ceiling tile. You may be removing a carpet and notice dark patches on the floor that lay beneath it. You may see dark spots appearing in your bathroom, lingering around baseboards or in the cupboard that sits under your sink.
- You may not be able to see and signs of mold, but you may be able to smell it. Mold sometimes has a musty smell; it might even smell like something is rotting, like some cardboard. If you smell something that you cannot identify but that recurs, you may be smelling mold that you cannot see.
- You may experience physical symptoms that sometimes occur when you live or work in a space where mold is growing; these can include burning eyes, slight difficultly in breathing, and an irritated throat.

Ryan Taite
Professional Background:
I hold a degree in Accounting and previously built and operated my own cellphone business before moving into environmental work. I'm a Licensed Mold Assessor in both New York and Florida, and over my career I've performed thousands of inspections. That volume has given me a deep, practical understanding of how buildings behave and where moisture and mold problems tend to hide.
Major Metro Served:
I serve New York City and the greater tri-state area, where I've worked for the past four years. What I like most about living here is experiencing the history and diversity that surround you every day. The region's building stock is unlike anywhere else — from pre-war apartments and brownstones to modern high-rises — and features like steam heat, tight bathrooms, cellars, and aging plumbing all create conditions where moisture and mold can develop. Knowing how these buildings are put together helps me track a problem back to its source.
Motivation:
What I like most about being a mold inspector is helping people gain peace of mind and control over their home environments. I especially enjoy helping tenants and property managers work through water-damage and mold concerns, because those situations often affect people's health and their relationships with one another.
Success Story:
I'm particularly proud of the inspections where I uncover a problem the client didn't even know was there. Those are the situations where my investigative skills really matter — following the clues through a building until I find the true source. Clients tend to be especially grateful when I go the extra mile, and being able to hand them a clear answer to something that had been bothering them is the most rewarding part of the job.
Why Choose MI&T New York City?
A prospective client should choose me because of the depth of experience I bring and the understanding of building-environment dynamics that comes from performing thousands of inspections. I know how to read a building, find what others miss, and explain my findings clearly so you can move forward with confidence.

Is a mold problem dangerous or just unsightly?
- When you are living or working in a space that has a mold problem, you may suffer from an allergic reaction, or you may experience some difficulty breathing, irritation in your throat and eyes or become more vulnerable to an asthma attack. That said, there are many different kinds of mold; some pose no health problems while others can be unhealthy to be around.
- Mold can pose a threat to your home itself; it can destroy porous material if it is given the opportunity to do so. Ceiling tile, carpets, dry wall, and soft wood may have to be removed if your mold problem has been around for a long time. We recommend a swift and thorough reaction to the detection of mold in your home of place of business, so that such costs are avoided or contained.

James Klein (Manhattan, NY)
I have lived in the same apartment in Manhattan for 5 years, and have never had any real issues. After the big rain storm that hit Manhattan a while back, I started to notice an odd smell in my apartment. I thought nothing of it until I started to see the paint bubbling on one wall. After a quick web search, I decided to have the area inspected for mold. The inspector from MI&T had a few tools that were able to identify high moisture levels for the wall and he recommended some testing. We collected a few samples, and came to find mold had begun to grow behind the wall. I was given a protocol of the required work that I had a different company perform. Once the work was done, I had MI&T come back out to inspect again. I was informed a few things were missed, and was able to get the remediator to finish the job correctly. The smell is now gone, and I feel comfortable in the integrity of my house again. If not for the expertise by these guys, my problem would have continued or even gotten worse.
