You walk into your home and take a deep breath without worrying about what you’re inhaling. No more musty smells lingering in the basement. No more wondering if that cough is from something growing behind your walls.
Your family sleeps better. Your kids stop sneezing when they come inside. The air feels cleaner, fresher—the way a home should feel.
And you have confidence it’s going to stay that way. We don’t just clean what you can see. We find what caused the problem and fix it so mold can’t come back and surprise you six months from now.
Mack’s Mold Removal has been serving Bucks County families for years, and we understand exactly what causes mold problems in this area. The humid summers, the damp winters, the older homes with their unique challenges—we’ve seen it all.
We’re not some national chain that treats every house the same. We know that basement in your 1950s colonial has different needs than the bathroom in your newer construction. We know where mold likes to hide in New Galena homes, and we know how to get rid of it for good.
Our team uses EPA-approved methods and follows all Pennsylvania regulations. But more than that, we care about getting this right the first time because we live and work in this community too.
First, we inspect your entire property—not just the obvious spots. We check hidden areas like wall cavities, behind appliances, and in crawl spaces where mold loves to grow unnoticed. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to find problems you can’t see.
Next, we test to identify exactly what type of mold we’re dealing with. This tells us the best approach for removal and helps us understand how serious the situation is.
Then we contain the affected area to prevent mold spores from spreading to clean parts of your home. We remove contaminated materials safely and clean affected surfaces with professional-grade equipment. Finally—and this is the most important part—we address the underlying moisture issue that caused the mold in the first place. Whether it’s a hidden leak, poor ventilation, or humidity problems, we fix the root cause so you don’t end up dealing with this again.

You get a thorough inspection that covers your entire property, including those hard-to-reach areas where mold often hides. We test the air quality and surface samples to identify the specific types of mold present and determine the extent of the problem.
Our remediation process includes safe containment, complete removal of contaminated materials, and professional cleaning of all affected surfaces. We use EPA-approved products and follow strict safety protocols to protect your family and our team.
But here’s what really matters for New Galena homeowners: we address the moisture issues that are so common in our area. Whether it’s basement humidity from our clay soil, condensation problems from temperature swings, or ventilation issues in older homes, we identify and fix these underlying causes. We also provide you with a clear prevention plan tailored to your specific property and our local climate conditions.
The most obvious signs are visible mold growth and musty odors, but mold often hides where you can’t see it. You might notice increased allergy symptoms, respiratory irritation, or a persistent musty smell without visible mold.
In New Galena homes, pay special attention to basements, bathrooms, and areas around windows or pipes. Look for water stains, discoloration, or peeling paint or wallpaper. If you’ve had any water damage—even something minor like a small leak—there’s a good chance mold is growing somewhere.
Trust your instincts. If something doesn’t smell right or you’re experiencing unexplained health symptoms at home, it’s worth having a professional inspection. We offer free assessments because we’d rather catch a small problem early than deal with a major remediation later.
While black mold gets a lot of attention, the truth is that any mold growing in your home can cause health problems and should be removed. Different people react differently to different types of mold, so what matters most is getting rid of whatever’s growing in your house.
Black mold (Stachybotrys) can cause serious respiratory issues, especially for people with asthma, allergies, or compromised immune systems. But so can other common household molds. The key is not trying to identify the type yourself—it’s getting it properly removed by professionals who know how to handle it safely.
We test to identify the specific mold species because it helps us choose the most effective removal method. But regardless of what type we find, our goal is always the same: complete removal and prevention of future growth.
Most residential mold removal projects in New Galena take 3-5 days, but it depends on the extent of the problem and the size of the affected area. A small bathroom issue might be done in a day or two, while a whole basement could take a week.
The process involves several steps that can’t be rushed: inspection and testing, containment setup, actual removal and cleaning, addressing moisture issues, and final testing to make sure everything is clean. We also need drying time between certain steps.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial assessment. We work efficiently, but we won’t cut corners just to finish faster. It’s better to take the time to do it right than to have mold come back because we rushed the job. We’ll keep you informed throughout the process so you know exactly what to expect each day.
Insurance coverage for mold removal varies significantly depending on your policy and what caused the mold growth. If the mold resulted from a covered event like a burst pipe or storm damage, there’s a good chance your insurance will help pay for remediation.
However, if the mold developed due to ongoing issues like poor ventilation, humidity, or maintenance problems, insurance typically won’t cover it. Each policy is different, and insurance companies can be particular about the details.
We work with insurance companies regularly and can help you navigate the claims process. We provide detailed documentation, photos, and reports that insurance adjusters need. We’ll also work directly with your insurance company when possible to make the process as smooth as possible for you. Even if insurance doesn’t cover everything, we offer flexible payment options to make the work affordable.
Bleach might kill surface mold on non-porous materials, but it doesn’t solve the underlying problem, and it can actually make things worse in some situations. Bleach doesn’t penetrate porous materials like drywall or wood, so the mold roots remain and will regrow.
More importantly, disturbing mold without proper containment can spread spores throughout your home, creating new problems in areas that were previously clean. Professional mold removal involves containment, proper ventilation, and specialized equipment to prevent cross-contamination.
There’s also the safety factor. Mold remediation requires protective equipment and proper disposal methods. If you have more than a small surface area (the EPA recommends professional help for anything larger than 10 square feet), or if you have health concerns, it’s worth hiring professionals. We have the training, equipment, and experience to do the job safely and effectively the first time.
The key to preventing mold is controlling moisture, which is especially important in New Galena’s humid climate. Keep indoor humidity below 50% using dehumidifiers, especially in basements and during our humid summers.
Fix any leaks immediately—even small ones. Improve ventilation in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry areas. Make sure your gutters are clean and directing water away from your foundation. In older homes, consider upgrading ventilation systems if needed.
Regular maintenance is crucial. Check around windows, pipes, and appliances for signs of moisture. Clean and maintain your HVAC system. Don’t ignore musty smells or water stains—address them quickly before they become bigger problems. We provide specific recommendations based on your home’s unique situation and our experience with local conditions. Following these guidelines will give you the best chance of staying mold-free long-term.
