You’ve noticed the smell. Maybe someone in your house has been coughing more than usual, or you’ve spotted discoloration on a wall you can’t explain. The problem with mold is that what you see is rarely the whole story.
A professional mold inspection doesn’t just confirm what’s there. It tells you where it’s coming from, how far it’s spread, and whether your air quality is compromised. That’s the difference between treating symptoms and actually solving the problem.
Pennsylvania’s humid climate makes basements, crawl spaces, and older homes prime targets for mold growth. If moisture gets trapped whether from a leaky pipe, roof damage, or poor ventilation you’re not just dealing with a cosmetic issue. You’re dealing with something that can affect your health, your home’s value, and your peace of mind.
We’ve been serving homeowners across Kensington, PA and Bucks County for years. We’re certified, we’re local, and we’re not trying to upsell you on services you don’t need.
Our job is to give you an honest assessment. We use advanced detection equipment to inspect visible and hidden areas behind walls, under floors, in HVAC systems. Then we explain what we found in plain language, not scare tactics.
Because we’re not affiliated with remediation companies, our recommendations are unbiased. If you need help, we’ll tell you. If you don’t, we’ll tell you that too. Kensington homeowners deal with enough old construction, basement moisture, unpredictable weather. You deserve straight answers.
First, we walk through your property and talk. You’ll tell us what you’ve noticed odors, stains, health symptoms, water damage. We listen, because context matters.
Then we inspect. We check the obvious spots and the hidden ones: behind appliances, inside walls, around windows, in your HVAC system, throughout the basement. We use moisture meters, thermal imaging, and air quality testing to detect mold you can’t see.
If we find something, we take samples and send them to a certified lab. You’ll get a detailed report that explains what type of mold is present, the concentration levels, and where it’s growing. We also identify the moisture source because if you don’t fix that, the mold comes back.
Finally, we walk you through the results. No jargon. No pressure. Just clear information about what’s happening in your home and what your options are.

Every mold inspection we do in Kensington, PA includes a full visual assessment of your property, moisture detection in walls and floors, air quality testing to measure spore levels, and lab analysis of any samples we collect.
You’ll also get a written report that breaks down exactly what we found, where the moisture is coming from, and what needs to happen next. We don’t leave you hanging with vague recommendations.
Kensington’s older homes and proximity to the Delaware River mean humidity and water intrusion are common issues here. Basements flood. Roofs leak. Pipes sweat. We’ve seen it all, and we know how to trace mold back to its source not just point at the stain on your wall.
This isn’t a pass-fail test. It’s a diagnostic tool. Whether you’re buying a home, dealing with a persistent smell, or just want confirmation that your air is safe, a mold evaluation gives you the information you need to make a smart decision.
Most professional mold inspections in Kensington range between $300 and $600, depending on the size of your home and how many areas need testing. If lab analysis is required, that’s usually included in the base price, but additional samples can add cost.
Some companies offer free inspections, but they’re often tied to remediation services. That creates a conflict of interest. When the company doing the testing also profits from the cleanup, you’re not getting an unbiased assessment.
We charge for inspections because our only job is to tell you the truth. If you don’t need remediation, we’re not losing a sale we’re doing our job. That’s how you know the results are reliable.
You can, but it’s not going to give you useful information. Home mold testing kits are unreliable. They don’t tell you what type of mold you have, how much is present, or where it’s coming from. Most of the time, they just confirm that mold exists which it does, in every home.
What matters isn’t whether mold is present. It’s whether the levels are dangerous, whether it’s toxic, and what’s causing it to grow. A DIY kit can’t answer those questions.
Professional mold detection uses calibrated equipment, controlled sampling methods, and certified lab analysis. We’re not just swabbing a surface and calling it a day. We’re measuring air quality, checking moisture levels, and identifying the root cause so you can actually fix the problem.
The most common signs are a musty smell that won’t go away, visible discoloration on walls or ceilings, and unexplained health symptoms like coughing, sneezing, or headaches that get better when you leave the house.
Water damage is another big red flag. If you’ve had a leak, a flood, or even just persistent condensation, there’s a good chance mold is growing somewhere. It doesn’t take long mold can start developing within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure.
You should also consider an inspection if you’re buying a home in Kensington, especially an older one. Basements, crawl spaces, and attics are common problem areas. A mold evaluation before closing can save you thousands in unexpected repairs and give you leverage in negotiations.
Most inspections take between one and three hours, depending on the size of your home and how many areas we’re testing. If your house is small and we’re only checking a couple of rooms, we can be in and out in under an hour.
Larger homes or properties with basements, attics, and crawl spaces take longer. We’re not rushing through it. We’re checking behind appliances, inside walls, around windows, and anywhere else moisture could be hiding.
After the inspection, lab results usually come back within three to five business days. Once we have the report, we’ll walk you through the findings and answer any questions. The whole process from scheduling to final results typically takes about a week.
Yes, if it’s done right. Hidden mold is one of the main reasons to hire a professional instead of trying to handle it yourself. We use thermal imaging to detect temperature differences behind walls, moisture meters to find trapped water, and air quality testing to measure spore levels even when there’s no visible growth.
Mold loves dark, damp spaces inside walls, under flooring, in HVAC ducts, behind drywall. These are places you can’t see without the right equipment. A visual inspection alone won’t cut it.
That’s especially important in Kensington, where older homes often have hidden moisture problems. A slow leak or poor ventilation can cause mold to grow for months before you notice it. By the time it’s visible, it’s usually already a bigger issue than it looks.
You’ll get a detailed report that explains what we found, where the mold is growing, what type it is, and how severe the problem is. We’ll also identify the moisture source because if that’s not fixed, the mold will come back no matter how many times you clean it.
If remediation is needed, we’ll give you clear recommendations. We don’t do the cleanup ourselves, so we’re not trying to sell you on services. We’ll tell you what needs to happen and connect you with qualified professionals if you want help finding someone.
If the mold levels are low and the source is something simple like a leaky faucet or poor ventilation we’ll explain how you can address it yourself. Not every mold problem requires a full remediation. Sometimes it just needs attention before it gets worse.
