Crown Mold Specialists Reaffirms Its Mission to Protect NYC Homes Through Thorough Mold Remediation

Oct 21, 2026

United States, October 21, 2026 -- Crown Mold Specialists, a family-run mold removal and mold remediation company based in Brooklyn, is reaffirming the approach that has guided its work across New York City for more than 30 years: fixing the source of a moisture problem, not just the mold it produces. The company serves homeowners, co-op boards and businesses throughout Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island.



"Successful mold remediation isn't just about removing visible mold. It's about identifying and correcting the moisture source that allowed it to grow in the first place. Without addressing the underlying issue, mold can return," said a Crown Mold Specialists representative.

That distinction shapes how the company structures its work. Under New York State law, mold assessment and mold remediation have to be handled separately, and Crown Mold Specialists holds both a New York State Mold Assessment Contractor License and a New York State Mold Remediation Contractor License, along with EPA Lead-Safe certification for work in pre-1978 buildings common across the five boroughs. An inspection comes first, using visual checks, moisture meters and, when needed, air sampling sent out for lab analysis, so a property owner receives a written scope of work and a firm price before any removal begins.

"One of the biggest mistakes property owners make is assuming that cleaning the surface solves the problem. Mold can develop behind walls, beneath flooring, and in other concealed areas. A thorough inspection is essential to understanding the full extent of the damage," a Crown Mold Specialists representative said.

Once a scope is set, the company's in-house technicians, not subcontractors, seal off the work area with sheeting, negative air pressure and continuous HEPA filtration before removing and disposing of contaminated material according to New York City waste regulations and treating remaining surfaces with EPA-registered antimicrobial products. Structural drying and repair follow, and for jobs that require it, an independent assessor coordinates clearance testing through an accredited lab, producing a written report accepted by the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development, insurers and co-op boards.

Timing matters throughout that process. Mold can begin spreading within 24 to 48 hours of a water intrusion, which is why Crown Mold Specialists answers calls day or night and offers free on-site estimates rather than asking a property owner to wait.

"When it comes to water damage and mold growth, time matters. The longer moisture remains trapped in building materials, the greater the potential for mold growth and structural damage. Early intervention can help prevent a small problem from becoming a costly restoration project," said a Crown Mold Specialists representative.

The company says its mission going forward remains the same one that has carried it for three decades in New York City: identify the real cause of a mold problem, document the work clearly, and leave a property owner with a result that holds up, whether that property is a single-family home, a commercial space or a pre-war co-op.

Tennis tournament hopes to entice aspiring Alex Ealas

Tennis tournament hopes to entice aspiring Alex Ealas

Tennis is receiving much attention these days due mainly to Filipino player Alex Eala who continues to make the country proud in international tournaments. This is partly why the Philippine Columbian Association (PCA) is optimistic that it will draw over a thousand entries for the 43rd PCA Open 2026.  The annual tennis tournament is special this year as it has partnered with Palawan Group of Companies whose founder and chair Bobby Castro is committed to supporting Filipino athletes and the growth of local sports. “Earlier this year, in May, we held the Palawan Open where many players, both seasoned and starting, competed. Aside from the prizes at stake, it was a venue for veteran players to showcase their talents and inspire the youth,” Castro said in his opening remarks. Eala’s participation in Pala-wan-supported tournaments early in her career also highlights the value of local competitions. “Here at Palawan Group, we believe that Filipinos have so much potential. We just need to provide opportunities for them to develop their skills, gain experience, and show the country, and maybe later, the world, what they can do,” Castro said. “This is one of the reasons why we are proud to support the Palawan PCA Open as a major sponsor. For us, this isn’t just about supporting this tournament but it is also about supporting the athletes themselves and helping create more opportunities for Filipino talent to grow,” he added. Dubbed the “Wimbledon of the Philippines,” the PCA Open will run from Nov. 2 to Dec. 13, at the PCA clay courts in Paco, Manila. The tournament is expected to draw more than 1,000 entries across eight categories. The junior events begin on Nov. 2, while the men’s and women’s Open main draws are scheduled Dec. 5 to 13.  Founded in 1907, the PCA has a long history of bringing people together through sports and community, with tennis remaining an important part of its tradition. The PCA Open continues to bring together players of different ages and skill levels, from junior competitors to those vying for the men’s and women’s Open titles. “We want to keep the sport accessible, give players opportunities to compete, and inspire more Filipinos to experience the excitement of the game. We thank Palawan Group for supporting this shared goal,” said Ivan Ong, PCA Open Committee representative. Athletes devote years to training and development, demonstrating discipline, dedication, and perseverance. Each player who steps onto the court brings extensive experience while continuing to refine and elevate their skills. “We want to support that journey and help give our athletes more opportunities to compete and excel. At the same time, we also want to encourage more Filipinos, especially the youth, to excel in tennis,” Castro said.  During the tournament launch on Oct. 15, members of the media participated in a mini-tennis clinic, where coaches and young tennis players introduced them to the fundamentals of the sport through a series of on-court activities. “As a proudly Filipino company, we see supporting Philippine tennis as another way to put our commitment to the communities we serve into action,” said Bernard Kaibigan, chief marketing officer of the Palawan Group of Companies. “Beyond the tournament itself, we hope initiatives like the Palawan PCA Open will encourage more Filipinos to discover the sport and see it as something they can learn, enjoy, and pursue,” Kaibigan added. By backing established tournaments such as the PCA Open, Palawan Group hopes to help sustain opportunities for Filipino players. Additional information and tournament updates are available through the official social media accounts of the Palawan PCA 43rd Open.

Is sugar toxic?

Oct 20, 2026

Is sugar toxic?

Sugar isn’t poisonous. But in the amounts we tend to eat, sugar can act a lot like poison.  Let’s be clear about this. The sugar your body needs is glucose — the fuel for your brain and muscles. We get it naturally from rice, fruit, milk and vegetables. This is not the problem.  The real culprit is added sugar: the white sugar, corn syrup and sweeteners mixed into soda, bread, sauces, dressings and so-called “healthy snacks”. The World Health Organization recommends less than six teaspoons a day. Many of us get 3 to 4 times this amount daily without realizing it.  What really happens What happens when sugar enters our bodies that fast and that often? Your blood sugar spikes. Insulin surges to clear it. If you do this daily, your cells will soon start ignoring insulin. This is the first step to type 2 diabetes. Your liver turns the excess sugar into fat which could lead to inflammation, fatty liver, high blood pressure and gout. Other side effects are damaged blood vessels and the risk of heart disease.  The good news: you don’t need to quit sugar forever. That slice of cake is not dangerous. You see, toxicity is about frequency and dose.  The key is fiber. For example, sweetened coffee and donuts before lunch is totally different from a serving of ice cream after a meal. Liquid sugar is the culprit because it hits your bloodstream with no fiber or protein as a buffer. Healthy reminders There is no need to give up sugar. You just need some practical tips. Drink smart. Start with water before anything else. Swap soda, juices, milk tea and smoothies for fresh juices, unsweetened tea, black coffee or lemon water.  Eat to blunt the spike. Apply the “protein-fiber-fat rule”. Have fish, lean meat, eggs and vegetables before rice or pasta. Exercise daily. Do you know that a 10-minute walk after meals can bring down sugar by 30 percent ? The secret is to keep moving.  Shop smarter. Read the ingredients. If you see corn syrup, maltose or dextrose, do not buy it. Those first three ingredients means it’s mostly sugar.  Eat home cooked meals. It’s safer.  Manage cravings by drinking one glass of water. Wait 15 minutes for the craving to go away. For those with kidney disease or diabetes, the margin is smaller. Pair limited carbs with protein and watch your portions. Your doctor can come up with a plan for you. The takeaway Sugar isn’t evil. It is a condiment. It is not food. So treat it that way. Sugar once consumed needs to be burned. So, exercise is a must.  Choose whole food before processed options. Pick the whole fruit instead of the juice. Drink water, not soda.  If you make one change this week, then you will see positive results. In 10 days your taste buds will reset. Then suddenly, an apple tastes better than apple pie.  Affirmation: “ I am as sweet as honey.” Love and light.
