Hear from Our Customers
You walk into your basement and breathe easy—no musty smell, no worry about what’s growing behind the walls. Your kids play downstairs without you wondering if they’re breathing in something harmful. The air feels different because it is different.
That nagging concern about property damage disappears. No more wondering if mold is quietly eating away at your home’s structure while you sleep. No more checking corners and crevices, looking for new spots.
You get your peace of mind back. When storms hit Newportville and basements get damp, you’re not panicking about what might be growing. You know the source has been found and fixed, not just covered up.
We’ve been serving Newportville and Bucks County homeowners who understand that mold isn’t just unsightly—it’s a health hazard that demands real expertise. We’ve seen what happens when mold gets ignored in our area’s humid summers and wet springs.
Bucks County gets 49 inches of rain per year compared to the national average of 38 inches. That extra moisture doesn’t just disappear—it finds its way into basements, crawl spaces, and behind walls where mold loves to grow. We’ve built our reputation on understanding exactly how our local climate creates mold problems and how to solve them permanently.
You won’t get a sales pitch from us. You’ll get an honest assessment from people who’ve been dealing with Newportville’s specific mold challenges long enough to know what works and what doesn’t.
First, we find everything. Not just the mold you can see, but the moisture source that’s feeding it. We use thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters because mold problems that come back are usually mold problems that were never fully identified in the first place.
Then we contain the area. Mold spores spread when disturbed, so we seal off the work zone with barriers and negative air pressure. This isn’t optional—it’s how you prevent a small problem from becoming a house-wide problem.
Next comes removal. We don’t just spray something on it and hope for the best. Contaminated materials get safely removed and disposed of. Surfaces get cleaned with HEPA vacuums and antimicrobial treatments that actually eliminate mold at the source.
Finally, we make sure it stays gone. Air scrubbers and dehumidifiers restore proper air quality and moisture levels. We identify and help you address the conditions that allowed mold to grow in the first place, because solving the symptom without fixing the cause isn’t solving anything.

You get a complete inspection using advanced detection tools, not someone walking around with a flashlight. We test air quality to determine if mold levels are elevated indoors and take samples to identify exactly what type of mold we’re dealing with, because different molds require different approaches.
The removal process includes proper containment to prevent cross-contamination, safe disposal of contaminated materials, and thorough cleaning of all affected areas. We use HEPA filtration systems and antimicrobial treatments that meet EPA standards, not whatever’s cheapest.
In Newportville, we see a lot of basement mold problems because of our area’s high groundwater levels and humidity. Your service includes moisture mapping to identify problem areas and recommendations for preventing future growth. We also provide post-remediation testing to verify that the job was done right—because your family’s health deserves more than our word for it.
Most homeowners in our area spend between $1,200 and $3,700 for professional mold remediation, depending on the size and location of the problem. Small issues like a bathroom corner might run $500 to $1,500, while larger infestations can cost more.
The price depends on several factors: how much area is affected, where the mold is located, what materials need to be removed, and whether there’s hidden mold behind walls or in HVAC systems. We charge by the square foot for most jobs, typically $10 to $25 per square foot including materials and labor.
What drives costs up is waiting too long to address the problem. Mold can grow within 24 to 48 hours after water damage, so small problems become big problems fast. That’s why we offer free inspections—catching it early saves you money and protects your health.
Bleach and over-the-counter mold killers don’t penetrate porous materials like wood, drywall, or carpet padding. They might kill surface mold, but they leave the root system intact, which means the mold comes back—often worse than before.
More importantly, disturbing mold without proper containment spreads spores throughout your home. DIY removal often turns a localized problem into a house-wide contamination issue. The EPA recommends professional removal for any area larger than 10 square feet, and that’s being conservative.
Professional removal includes containment, proper disposal, HEPA filtration, and addressing the moisture source that caused the problem. We also test the air quality afterward to verify that the job was done right. You can’t get that level of thoroughness with a spray bottle from the hardware store.
All mold is potentially harmful, especially for people with allergies, asthma, or compromised immune systems. The CDC doesn’t recommend trying to identify mold types yourself because the health risk exists regardless of the species.
What matters more is the amount of mold and your exposure to it. Even small patches can cause respiratory problems, headaches, and skin irritation. In homes with mold, the risk of asthma doubles, and children are particularly vulnerable to long-term health effects.
If you can see mold or smell that musty, earthy odor, you have a problem that needs professional attention. Hidden mold is often worse than visible mold because it’s had time to spread undetected. That’s why we use air quality testing and thermal imaging—to find what you can’t see before it becomes a bigger health hazard.
Most residential mold removal projects take 1 to 3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the problem. Small jobs might be completed in a day, while larger infestations or those involving HVAC systems can take up to 5 days.
The timeline depends on several factors: how much area is affected, what materials need to be removed, how long containment and drying take, and whether any reconstruction is needed afterward. We don’t rush the process because cutting corners leads to mold coming back.
You’ll typically need to stay out of the affected areas during active removal, and we recommend waiting 24 hours after completion before full occupancy. This gives the antimicrobial treatments time to work and ensures the air quality has returned to safe levels. We provide clear timelines upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Insurance coverage for mold depends on what caused the problem and your specific policy. If mold resulted from a covered event like a burst pipe or storm damage, you’re likely covered. If it’s from long-term neglect, poor ventilation, or gradual leaks, most policies won’t cover it.
The key is documentation and timing. Insurance companies want to see that you acted quickly when you discovered the problem and that you’re addressing the underlying cause, not just treating the symptoms. We can help document the damage and work with your insurance company to support your claim.
Even if insurance doesn’t cover the full cost, the expense of professional removal is usually much less than the cost of ignoring the problem. Structural damage, health issues, and decreased property values can cost tens of thousands more than proper remediation. It’s an investment in your family’s health and your home’s value.
Mold prevention comes down to moisture control. Keep indoor humidity below 50%, fix leaks immediately, and ensure proper ventilation in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. In Bucks County’s humid climate, dehumidifiers are often necessary, especially in basements and crawl spaces.
Regular maintenance matters too. Clean gutters direct water away from your foundation, proper grading prevents water from pooling around your home, and routine HVAC maintenance ensures your system isn’t spreading moisture or mold spores throughout the house.
Watch for early warning signs: musty smells, condensation on windows, water stains, or that feeling of dampness in certain areas. Address small moisture problems before they become mold problems. We provide specific recommendations based on what we find during your inspection, because every home has different vulnerabilities based on age, construction, and local conditions.
