You’re not looking for someone to tell you mold exists. You already suspect that. What you need is someone who can tell you where it’s growing, what type it is, and whether it’s actually dangerous.
That’s what a real mold inspection does. We use infrared cameras and moisture meters to check areas you can’t see—behind walls, under floors, in crawl spaces. Then we send air and surface samples to certified labs that identify the exact species and concentration levels.
You get a detailed report that tells you if you’re dealing with harmless surface mold or something that needs immediate attention. No guessing. No scare tactics. Just facts you can use to make an informed decision about your home and your family’s health.
In Bucks County’s humid climate, basements and crawl spaces are breeding grounds. We know where to look in New Britain homes because we’ve been doing this long enough to recognize the patterns.
Mack’s Mold Removal has been serving New Britain and the surrounding Bucks County area for years. We’ve inspected hundreds of homes—from older properties near the historic district to newer builds in the residential neighborhoods off Route 202.
We’re not a national franchise reading from a script. We’re local, and we understand how Pennsylvania’s humid summers and damp winters create perfect conditions for mold growth in basements, attics, and anywhere moisture gets trapped.
Our inspectors are certified, our lab partners are accredited, and our reports hold up with insurance companies and real estate transactions. We show up on time, explain what we find in plain language, and give you options—not pressure.
First, we walk through your home and talk about what you’ve noticed—musty smells, water damage, health symptoms, or visible growth. This helps us know where to focus.
Then we start the physical inspection. We use moisture meters to check walls, floors, and ceilings for hidden water intrusion. Infrared cameras let us see temperature differences that indicate moisture behind surfaces. We check basements, crawl spaces, attics, bathrooms, and anywhere water or humidity tends to accumulate.
Next comes sampling. We collect air samples to detect airborne mold spores, even from hidden colonies. If we see visible growth, we take surface samples to identify the species. Everything goes to a certified lab for analysis.
Within a few days, you get a detailed report. It shows what types of mold are present, their concentration levels, and whether they pose health risks. We also identify the moisture sources feeding the growth—leaky pipes, poor ventilation, foundation issues, whatever it is.
Then we walk you through the findings and explain your options. If remediation is needed, we give you a clear plan and upfront pricing. If it’s minor and you can handle it yourself, we’ll tell you that too.

Our mold inspection includes a thorough visual assessment of your entire property, focusing on high-risk areas like basements and crawl spaces where Bucks County’s humidity does the most damage. We don’t just look at what’s visible—we use technology to find what’s hidden.
You get air quality testing that measures spore levels throughout your home. This matters because mold growing behind a wall still releases spores into the air you breathe. Lab analysis identifies the specific species, which tells us if you’re dealing with common household mold or something more concerning like Stachybotrys (black mold).
We also track down moisture sources. Mold is just a symptom. The real problem is water—whether it’s a slow leak, condensation, poor drainage, or humidity that’s too high. We find where the moisture is coming from so you can fix the root cause, not just the mold.
Your report includes photos, lab results, moisture readings, and our recommendations. It’s detailed enough for insurance claims and real estate transactions, but written in language you can actually understand. We also offer free inspections in many cases, and we’re available 24/7 for emergencies.
Most mold inspections in Bucks County run between $300 and $800, depending on your home’s size and how extensive the testing needs to be. Our basic inspection starts at $350 and includes a visual assessment, moisture detection, air sampling, and lab analysis.
Larger homes or properties with multiple problem areas cost more because they require additional samples and more time. But here’s what matters: a $500 inspection that catches mold early can save you $10,000 in remediation costs down the road. We’ve seen it happen dozens of times.
We also offer free inspections in certain situations. If you’re dealing with recent water damage or suspect you have a serious problem, call us. We’ll let you know upfront what the inspection will cost and what’s included.
A mold inspection is the full assessment—we examine your property, use detection equipment, identify moisture sources, and determine the extent of any mold growth. Testing is just one part of that process where we collect samples and send them to a lab.
You can’t skip the inspection and just do testing. Labs can tell you what type of mold is in a sample, but they can’t tell you where it’s growing, why it’s there, or how widespread the problem is. That requires someone who knows what to look for and where to look.
Some companies sell cheap test kits that homeowners can use themselves. Those might tell you mold is present, but they won’t tell you if it’s a problem or what to do about it. A professional inspection gives you the full picture so you can make an informed decision.
Most inspections take two to three hours for an average-sized home. Larger properties or homes with extensive suspected growth can take longer—sometimes four or five hours if we’re checking multiple levels, attics, crawl spaces, and basements.
We don’t rush. Finding hidden mold requires methodical work, especially in older New Britain homes where moisture problems can be tucked behind finished basements or inside wall cavities. We’d rather spend an extra hour and find everything than miss something that’s going to cost you later.
After the inspection, lab results usually come back within three to five business days. Then we schedule a follow-up call or meeting to review the findings and discuss next steps. The whole process from inspection to final report typically takes about a week.
Yes, you can stay in your home during the inspection. There’s nothing hazardous about the process. We’re not disturbing mold or using chemicals—we’re just looking, measuring moisture levels, and collecting small samples.
In fact, it’s helpful if you’re home. You can show us areas where you’ve noticed problems, answer questions about the property’s history, and point out any water damage or musty smells we should investigate. That information helps us do a more thorough job.
If you prefer to leave, that’s fine too. Just make sure we have access to all areas of the home, including basements, attics, and crawl spaces. Locked rooms or inaccessible areas mean we can’t give you a complete assessment.
First, don’t panic. Finding mold doesn’t mean your home is uninhabitable or worthless. It means you have information you can act on, which is better than letting it spread unchecked.
If the mold is minor and limited to a small area, we’ll tell you if it’s something you can handle yourself with proper cleaning. If it’s more extensive or involves toxic species, we’ll recommend professional remediation and give you a detailed plan with upfront pricing.
Either way, you’ll also need to fix the moisture problem. That might mean repairing a leak, improving ventilation, installing a dehumidifier, or addressing drainage issues around your foundation. We identify the source during the inspection so you know exactly what needs to happen. Removing mold without fixing the moisture source just means it’ll come back.
If you’re buying an older home, a home with a basement, or any property where you notice musty smells or water stains—yes, get an inspection. Mold problems can reduce a home’s value by 20% to 37%, and remediation can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $20,000 depending on severity.
A $400 inspection before closing can save you from inheriting someone else’s expensive problem. It also gives you negotiating power. If the inspection finds mold, you can ask the seller to remediate it or reduce the price to cover the cost.
Even in newer homes, we find issues—especially in Bucks County where humidity and moisture are constant challenges. Builders sometimes close up walls before everything is fully dry, or they don’t install proper ventilation in bathrooms and crawl spaces. Better to know before you sign.
