Hear from Our Customers
You walk into your home and take a deep breath—no more musty odors, no more wondering what’s growing behind your walls, no more worrying about your family’s health. The air feels clean, fresh, breathable again.
Your kids can play in the basement without you holding your breath. You sleep soundly knowing that black spot near the bathroom isn’t silently spreading through your home’s structure. Your allergies calm down, those persistent headaches fade, and you stop waking up congested.
Most importantly, you have real confidence. Not just hope that the problem is gone, but actual certainty that it’s been eliminated at the source and won’t be creeping back in six months.
Mack’s Mold Removal has spent over 15 years dealing with the specific mold challenges that Trevose and Bucks County homeowners face. We understand how our humid summers and damp winters create perfect breeding grounds for mold growth, especially in the area’s many older homes with their clay soil foundation issues and outdated ventilation systems.
We’re not some generic mold removal company that treats every problem the same way. We’re local specialists who know that the 1960s ranch house near Street Road has different vulnerabilities than the newer construction by Neshaminy Creek. We’ve seen how ice dams destroy attics, how poor basement drainage creates ongoing moisture problems, and how bathroom exhaust fans that seemed fine for decades suddenly can’t handle today’s tighter home construction.
Our certified inspectors use thermal imaging and moisture detection equipment because we’ve learned that what you can see is usually just the beginning in Bucks County homes.
First, we show up with professional detection equipment—moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and air sampling tools. We’re hunting for the mold you can see and the mold you can’t. This isn’t a quick walkthrough with a flashlight; it’s a thorough investigation that takes as long as it takes.
Next, we contain the affected area using negative air pressure and HEPA filtration systems to prevent spores from spreading to clean parts of your home. Then we safely remove contaminated materials and treat affected surfaces with antimicrobial solutions that actually eliminate mold at the cellular level.
But here’s what separates us from companies that just clean and pray: we find and fix the moisture source. Whether it’s a hidden plumbing leak, inadequate ventilation, or the drainage issues common around older Trevose foundations, we address the root cause. Because if we don’t, you’re just paying to watch mold return in a few months.

Every mold remediation project starts with a free inspection—no sales pitch, no hidden fees, no pressure. We test your air quality, check moisture levels throughout your home, and give you a detailed report of exactly what we find. You get upfront pricing before any work begins, and we help navigate insurance claims when your policy covers the damage.
Our service includes complete containment setup, safe removal of contaminated materials, antimicrobial treatment of all affected surfaces, and correction of the underlying moisture source. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air scrubbers to restore your indoor air quality to healthy levels, then verify our work with post-remediation testing.
In Trevose specifically, we see recurring patterns: basement moisture from clay soil and aging foundation waterproofing, attic mold from ice dam damage during harsh winters, and bathroom mold from inadequate exhaust systems in older homes. These aren’t generic problems requiring generic solutions—they need targeted approaches based on local building practices and climate challenges.
Most homeowners in our area pay between $1,500 and $3,200 for typical mold remediation, though costs vary significantly based on the extent of the problem and how early it’s caught. Small bathroom issues might run $600-800, while extensive basement contamination or whole-house problems can reach $5,000-10,000.
The biggest cost factor is timing. That musty smell or small dark patch you’ve been ignoring could save you thousands if addressed now versus waiting until it spreads through your HVAC system or into structural materials. We’ve seen minor moisture problems turn into $15,000+ disasters when homeowners waited too long.
We provide free inspections and upfront pricing with no surprises or change orders. Many insurance policies cover mold remediation when it results from covered water damage events like burst pipes or storm damage. We help document everything properly to maximize your coverage and minimize out-of-pocket costs.
Most residential mold remediation projects in Trevose take 3-5 days from start to finish. Day one involves detailed inspection, air quality testing, and containment setup. Days 2-4 cover the actual removal, cleaning, and antimicrobial treatment. Day 5 includes final cleanup, post-remediation air quality verification, and restoration of affected areas.
Larger or more complex jobs—like whole-house contamination or significant structural damage—can take 1-2 weeks. Emergency situations get immediate attention, and we’re available 24/7 for urgent problems that can’t wait until Monday morning.
The timeline depends on factors like the size of affected areas, whether building materials need replacement, drying time for treated surfaces, and how long it takes to address the underlying moisture source. We keep you informed throughout the process and work around your schedule whenever possible to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
In most cases, yes, but it depends on the location and extent of the contamination. If we’re working on a contained area like a basement or single bathroom, you can typically remain in unaffected parts of your home. We use negative air pressure systems and plastic sheeting barriers to prevent cross-contamination between work areas and living spaces.
However, if mold has spread through your HVAC system or affects multiple rooms, we may recommend temporary relocation for your family’s safety, especially if anyone has asthma, allergies, or compromised immune systems. Children and elderly family members are particularly vulnerable to mold exposure during active remediation.
We discuss living arrangements during your initial consultation and work with your schedule to minimize disruption. Many of our Trevose clients stay with family nearby or use it as an opportunity for a short getaway while we handle the intensive work. The temporary inconvenience is worth the peace of mind knowing the job is done right.
Bucks County’s climate creates ideal mold conditions with our humid summers reaching 80-90% humidity and wet winters with frequent freeze-thaw cycles. The most common causes we encounter are basement moisture from poor drainage around older foundations, bathroom ventilation failures, and roof leaks that go undetected until significant damage occurs.
Ice dams during winter frequently cause attic moisture problems when melting snow backs up under shingles. Spring flooding affects crawl spaces and lower levels, while summer humidity overwhelms inadequate dehumidification systems. Many older homes in Trevose also have outdated plumbing that develops pinhole leaks over time, creating perfect conditions for hidden mold growth.
Poor ventilation compounds these issues, especially in homes that have been sealed for energy efficiency without proper moisture management. Even small water intrusions can become major mold problems within 24-48 hours in our climate. The combination of older building materials, clay soil that doesn’t drain well, and our variable weather patterns makes professional moisture control essential for long-term mold prevention.
The most reliable indicator is a persistent musty odor that doesn’t go away with normal cleaning—especially in basements, bathrooms, or areas near plumbing. You might also notice worsening allergies, unexplained headaches, or respiratory symptoms that improve when you leave the house and return when you come back.
Visual clues include water stains on ceilings or walls, peeling or bubbling paint, warped flooring, or condensation on windows and pipes. These often indicate moisture problems that lead to hidden mold growth behind walls, under floors, or in ceiling cavities where you can’t see it developing.
Professional testing is the only way to know for certain. Our free inspections include thermal imaging and moisture mapping to detect problems behind surfaces, plus air quality sampling to identify elevated spore levels even when nothing is visible. We use the same detection equipment that insurance companies require for claims documentation, so you get accurate results you can trust.
Not when the job is done correctly. The key is addressing the underlying moisture source, not just cleaning up visible mold growth. We don’t just treat symptoms; we identify and fix the root cause whether it’s a plumbing leak, ventilation inadequacy, or structural moisture intrusion that’s been building up over time.
Our process includes antimicrobial treatments that eliminate mold at the cellular level and moisture control measures that prevent regrowth. We also provide specific guidance on maintaining proper humidity levels and recognizing early warning signs of future problems before they become expensive disasters.
Many companies just clean what they can see and call it finished. We use advanced detection equipment to ensure complete remediation and address all moisture sources throughout your home. When the job is completed properly with source correction and preventive measures, mold shouldn’t return to the same areas. That’s why we can stand behind our work with confidence.
