You shouldn’t have to worry about the air your family breathes. When mold takes hold in your Edison home, it doesn’t just create that musty smell—it puts your family’s health at risk and threatens your property value.
After professional mold remediation, you’ll notice the difference immediately. The air feels cleaner. Those persistent allergy symptoms your kids have been dealing with start to fade. The musty odor that’s been embarrassing you when guests come over disappears completely.
Your home becomes the safe haven it should be. No more wondering if that dark spot behind the washing machine is spreading. No more sleepless nights worrying about what’s growing in your HVAC system. Just clean, healthy air and the confidence that comes from knowing the problem is solved for good.
We understand the unique challenges Edison homeowners face. Pennsylvania’s humid summers and temperature swings create perfect conditions for mold growth, especially in basements and areas with poor ventilation.
Our team knows how mold behaves in Edison’s older homes and newer construction alike. We’ve seen how moisture gets trapped in wall cavities during humid July weather, and we understand why so many local homes struggle with basement mold issues during Pennsylvania’s wet seasons.
When you call Mack’s, you’re getting technicians who live and work in your community. We’re not learning about your local climate challenges on the job—we’ve been solving mold problems for Edison families for years, using EPA-approved methods that comply with all Pennsylvania regulations.
Our process starts with a thorough inspection of your entire property, including those hard-to-reach areas where mold loves to hide. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to find problems you can’t see—behind walls, in crawl spaces, and inside HVAC systems.
Next comes containment and safe removal. Professional-grade equipment prevents mold spores from spreading to clean areas of your home while the contaminated materials are safely removed and disposed of according to industry regulations.
The final step addresses the source of the moisture that caused the problem in the first place. Whether it’s a hidden leak, poor ventilation, or humidity issues common in Edison homes, we fix the underlying cause to prevent the mold from coming back. You’ll get a detailed report of everything that was done and recommendations for keeping your home mold-free going forward.

Edison homeowners get comprehensive mold remediation that goes beyond just removing what you can see. Our service includes detailed mold testing to identify exactly what types of mold are present, complete containment to protect unaffected areas, and safe removal using EPA-approved methods.
Pennsylvania’s climate means Edison homes are particularly vulnerable to basement mold, attic condensation issues, and HVAC system contamination. The humid summers create perfect conditions for black mold growth, while winter temperature swings cause condensation problems that many homeowners don’t notice until it’s too late.
Every job includes post-remediation testing to verify the mold is completely gone, detailed documentation for insurance purposes, and specific recommendations for preventing future problems in Edison’s challenging climate. You’ll also get follow-up support to ensure the solutions are working long-term.
The cost depends on the size and scope of the mold problem, but most Edison homeowners can expect to pay between $1,500 and $5,000 for professional remediation. Small, contained areas like a bathroom corner might cost less, while extensive basement or whole-house contamination will be more.
Several factors affect the final price: the type of mold present, how much material needs to be removed, and whether structural repairs are needed. Black mold removal typically costs more due to the additional safety precautions required.
We provide free inspections and detailed written estimates before any work begins, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for. Many homeowners find that insurance covers at least part of the cost, especially when the mold resulted from a covered water damage event.
Most mold remediation projects in Edison take 3-5 days from start to finish, but the timeline depends on several factors specific to your situation. Small, localized problems might be resolved in 1-2 days, while extensive contamination or structural issues can take a week or more.
The process can’t be rushed—proper containment, safe removal, and thorough drying are essential for preventing the mold from returning. Edison’s humid climate means extra attention to moisture control, which can add time to the drying phase.
During the work, you’ll typically be able to stay in unaffected areas of your home, though severe contamination might require temporary relocation. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the initial inspection and keep you updated if anything changes during the remediation process.
Mold exposure can cause a range of health problems, especially for children, elderly residents, and anyone with respiratory conditions or compromised immune systems. Common symptoms include persistent coughing, sneezing, throat irritation, and worsening asthma or allergy symptoms.
Black mold is particularly dangerous and can cause more severe reactions including headaches, fatigue, and respiratory infections. Some people experience skin irritation or eye problems when exposed to mold spores over time.
The health risks are why professional remediation is so important—DIY cleanup can actually make the problem worse by spreading spores throughout your home. Edison’s humid climate means mold problems tend to get worse quickly if not addressed properly, so early professional intervention protects your family’s health and prevents more extensive contamination.
In most cases, you can remain in your home during mold remediation, though you’ll need to stay out of the work areas. Professional containment systems prevent mold spores from spreading to clean areas of your house, making it safe for you to occupy unaffected rooms.
However, extensive contamination or black mold situations might require temporary relocation, especially if the HVAC system is contaminated or if you have family members with respiratory conditions. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the safest approach.
If you do need to leave temporarily, it’s usually just for 2-3 days while the most intensive work is completed. Most Edison homeowners find they can manage by staying with family or friends, and the peace of mind knowing the job is being done right makes the temporary inconvenience worthwhile.
Prevention starts with moisture control, which is especially important in Edison’s humid climate. Keep indoor humidity below 50% using dehumidifiers, ensure proper ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens, and fix any leaks immediately—even small ones can cause big problems over time.
Regular maintenance is crucial: clean your HVAC system annually, inspect basements and crawl spaces for moisture issues, and check around windows and doors for condensation problems. Edison homes are particularly vulnerable during humid summer months, so extra vigilance during this time pays off.
After professional remediation, you’ll get specific recommendations based on what caused your particular mold problem. Following these guidelines, combined with regular inspections of vulnerable areas, dramatically reduces the chances of mold returning to your home.
Insurance coverage for mold removal depends on what caused the mold growth and your specific policy terms. If the mold resulted from a covered event like a burst pipe or storm damage, most policies will cover both the water damage cleanup and necessary mold remediation.
However, mold that developed due to long-term maintenance issues, high humidity, or gradual leaks typically isn’t covered. Pennsylvania insurance regulations don’t require mold coverage, but many policies include it as part of water damage protection.
We work directly with insurance companies to help Edison homeowners navigate the claims process. Our team provides detailed documentation and works with adjusters to ensure you get the coverage you’re entitled to. Even if insurance doesn’t cover everything, addressing mold problems quickly prevents more expensive damage that could affect your home’s value and your family’s health.
