You shouldn’t have to guess whether that smell is serious or if those dark spots are dangerous. A professional mold inspection gives you real answers using detection equipment that goes beyond what you can see.
Mold grows in places you’d never think to check inside walls, under flooring, behind appliances. By the time it’s visible, it’s usually been there for weeks. Our mold testing services in Overbrook identify the type of mold, measure contamination levels, and pinpoint the moisture source feeding it.
The result? You get a detailed report that shows exactly where the problem is, how bad it is, and what needs to happen next. No more wondering if your family’s breathing in something harmful. No more worrying that a small issue is quietly becoming a big one.
We serve Overbrook and the surrounding Bucks County area with one clear mission: creating healthy homes. We’re local, we’re available 24/7, and we don’t treat mold like a cosmetic issue we treat it like the health hazard it is.
Overbrook’s climate creates the perfect conditions for mold. High summer humidity, older housing stock, and Pennsylvania’s frequent rain mean moisture problems show up fast. We’ve seen it all basements that flood every spring, crawl spaces that never dry out, bathrooms with ventilation issues that go unnoticed for years.
When you call us, you’re working with a team that knows how mold behaves in this area and what it takes to stop it for good.
First, we walk through your property and look for visible signs of mold and moisture damage. We check the obvious spots bathrooms, basements, kitchens and the not-so-obvious ones like attics, crawl spaces, and HVAC systems.
Next, we use moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden water intrusion. Mold doesn’t grow without moisture, so finding the source is half the battle. If we find elevated moisture levels, we investigate further to understand why it’s there and how long it’s been a problem.
Then we collect air and surface samples for lab analysis. This tells us what type of mold is present and whether spore levels are elevated compared to outdoor air. Not all mold is the same, and knowing what you’re dealing with determines the right approach.
Finally, we put together a detailed report with photos, lab results, and clear recommendations. You’ll know what needs to be fixed, what the timeline looks like, and what it’s going to cost. No surprises, no upselling just honest information so you can make the right call for your home.

Every mold inspection we do in Overbrook includes a full visual assessment of your property, moisture mapping with professional-grade meters, air quality testing to measure spore levels, and surface sampling when needed. We also inspect your HVAC system since that’s where mold spreads fastest.
Overbrook homes especially older ones near the Cobbs Creek area deal with basement moisture more than most. We see it constantly: foundation cracks, poor grading, sump pumps that can’t keep up during heavy rain. These aren’t just inconveniences. They’re mold factories. Our inspections are designed to catch these issues before they turn into full-blown contamination.
After the inspection, you get a written report with lab results, photos, moisture readings, and a remediation plan if needed. We also walk you through the findings so you understand what’s happening and why. If your insurance covers mold damage, we’ll help document everything properly to support your claim.
Most mold inspections for small to medium homes in Overbrook run between $300 and $400. Larger homes or properties with multiple suspected areas can cost between $700 and $900 depending on the scope of testing required.
The price includes the visual inspection, moisture detection, air sampling, lab analysis, and a detailed report with recommendations. If you’re buying or selling a home, some inspectors offer real estate transaction pricing that bundles mold testing with other inspections.
We offer free initial assessments so you’re not paying just to have someone tell you whether an inspection is even necessary. If we come out and don’t find evidence of mold or moisture issues, we’ll tell you and save you the cost of unnecessary testing.
A typical mold inspection for a single-family home in Overbrook takes between one and two hours depending on the size of the property and how many areas need to be tested. Larger homes or commercial properties can take longer.
The inspection itself is just the first part. Lab results usually come back within 24 to 48 hours, and then we schedule a follow-up call or meeting to review the findings and discuss next steps.
If you’re dealing with an urgent situation like a recent flood or a known leak that’s been sitting for days we can prioritize your inspection and get results back faster. We’re available 24/7 because mold doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither should you.
You can buy DIY mold test kits at most hardware stores, but they’re not reliable. They often produce false positives because they pick up mold spores that exist naturally in every home. Without proper context or comparison to outdoor air, the results don’t tell you much.
Professional mold testing uses calibrated equipment, controlled sampling methods, and certified lab analysis. We measure spore counts, identify specific mold types, and compare indoor levels to outdoor baselines. That’s how you know if you actually have a problem or just normal background levels.
More importantly, a professional inspection finds the moisture source. Knowing you have mold is only useful if you know why it’s there and how to stop it. DIY kits can’t do that. We can.
Visible mold growth is the obvious one, but most people call us before it gets that far. Common signs include a musty smell that won’t go away, water stains on ceilings or walls, peeling paint or wallpaper, and condensation on windows or pipes.
Health symptoms are another red flag. If you or your family are experiencing unexplained respiratory issues, allergy symptoms that get worse at home, headaches, or skin irritation, mold exposure could be the cause. About 10% of people are severely allergic to mold, and symptoms get worse the longer you’re exposed.
You should also get an inspection after any water damage flooding, roof leaks, burst pipes, or even a slow leak that’s been dripping for weeks. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, and if you don’t catch it early, it spreads fast.
It depends on what caused the mold. Most homeowners insurance policies cover mold damage if it resulted from a sudden, accidental event like a burst pipe or storm damage. They typically don’t cover mold that developed due to long-term neglect or maintenance issues like a slow leak you ignored.
Insurance companies also expect you to act fast. If you wait too long to address water damage, they can deny your claim on the grounds that you didn’t mitigate the problem in a reasonable timeframe. That’s why getting a professional inspection quickly matters not just for your health, but for your coverage.
We work with insurance companies regularly and know how to document everything properly. We’ll provide the detailed reports, photos, and lab results your insurer needs to process the claim. If your policy covers it, we’ll make sure you’re not leaving money on the table.
We use a combination of moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and air sampling to detect hidden mold. Moisture meters measure the water content in building materials if drywall or wood is holding moisture, there’s a good chance mold is growing. Thermal imaging shows temperature differences that indicate wet areas behind walls or ceilings.
Air sampling is especially useful for hidden mold because spores circulate through your home even if the growth is out of sight. Elevated spore counts in the air tell us there’s active mold somewhere, and we can narrow down the location based on moisture readings and visual clues like staining or warping.
In some cases, we’ll do a minimally invasive inspection using a borescope a small camera that fits through a tiny hole in the wall. This lets us see inside wall cavities without tearing everything apart. If we do find hidden mold, we’ll map out exactly where it is so remediation can be targeted and efficient.
