You’ll get definitive answers about mold in your home. Our certified inspectors use advanced equipment to find mold you can’t see, test air quality with lab-grade precision, and identify the moisture sources feeding the problem.
No more wondering if that musty smell means trouble. No more worrying about your family’s health. You’ll have a clear action plan based on scientific testing, not guesswork.
When we’re done, you’ll know exactly where you stand – and what needs to happen next.
We’ve been protecting Upper Darby families for over 26 years. We understand how Delaware County’s humid summers and aging housing stock create perfect conditions for mold growth.
Our certified inspectors know the local building patterns – from the row homes near 69th Street to the suburban developments around Drexel Hill. We’ve seen how poor basement waterproofing and inadequate ventilation cause recurring mold problems in this area.
You’re working with professionals who hold Pennsylvania state licensing and follow EPA protocols. We’re not here to sell you services you don’t need – we’re here to give you the truth about what’s happening in your home.
First, we conduct a comprehensive visual inspection of your entire property. We check obvious areas like bathrooms and basements, plus hidden spots where mold loves to grow – behind walls, under flooring, and in HVAC systems.
Next, we use moisture meters and thermal imaging to map water patterns throughout your home. This technology shows us exactly where moisture problems exist, even when there’s no visible damage yet.
Finally, we collect air and surface samples for third-party laboratory analysis. You’ll get detailed results showing exactly what types of mold are present and at what concentration levels. No guessing, no assumptions – just scientific facts about your indoor air quality.

Your mold inspection covers every area where problems typically develop in Upper Darby homes. We examine crawl spaces, which are especially problematic in this area due to high humidity levels. We check attics where poor ventilation combines with temperature changes to create condensation issues.
We inspect HVAC systems thoroughly – a critical area since Pennsylvania’s humid summers mean air conditioners run constantly, creating ideal conditions for mold growth in ductwork. Our thermal imaging reveals moisture problems behind walls before they become visible damage.
You’ll receive laboratory results from an accredited facility, typically within 3-4 business days. The report includes specific mold species identification, concentration levels, and our recommendations for any necessary action. We also provide a detailed moisture assessment showing exactly what’s causing any problems we find.
Mold inspection costs in the Upper Darby area typically range from $300 to $500 for a standard residential property. This includes a complete visual inspection, moisture detection with advanced equipment, and two air samples for laboratory analysis.
The final cost depends on your home’s size, the number of areas we need to test, and whether additional samples are recommended based on our findings. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, and many homeowners find their insurance covers inspection costs when mold is related to a covered water damage event.
We offer free initial consultations to discuss your specific situation and provide an accurate quote based on your home’s unique characteristics.
Schedule a mold inspection if you notice musty odors, visible mold growth, or experience unexplained health symptoms like persistent coughing, sneezing, or respiratory irritation. These are often the first signs of a mold problem.
You should also consider an inspection after any water damage – even if it seems minor. Upper Darby’s humid climate means water problems can quickly lead to mold growth within 24-48 hours. Recent flooding, plumbing leaks, or roof damage all warrant professional assessment.
If you’re buying or selling a home in the area, a mold inspection provides valuable peace of mind. Many real estate transactions in Delaware County include mold inspections, especially for older properties or homes with known moisture issues.
The most common molds we find in Upper Darby homes include Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium – all of which thrive in the area’s humid conditions. These typically develop in bathrooms, basements, and areas with poor ventilation.
We also encounter Stachybotrys (black mold) in homes with significant water damage or chronic moisture problems. This type requires immediate professional attention due to potential health risks, especially for children, elderly residents, and people with compromised immune systems.
Our laboratory testing identifies the exact species present in your home, which helps determine the appropriate response. Different mold types require different remediation approaches, which is why professional identification is so important for effective treatment.
Our mold testing methods are highly accurate because we use accredited third-party laboratories that follow strict analytical protocols. Air sampling provides precise spore counts per cubic meter, while surface sampling identifies specific mold species and growth concentrations.
We always include an outdoor control sample to establish baseline levels for comparison. This ensures we can distinguish between normal environmental mold levels and problematic indoor concentrations. Our moisture detection equipment is calibrated regularly to maintain accuracy.
The combination of visual inspection, advanced moisture mapping, and laboratory analysis provides a comprehensive picture of your home’s mold situation. This multi-layered approach eliminates guesswork and ensures you receive reliable, actionable information about your indoor air quality.
Our systematic approach and advanced equipment help us identify mold problems that basic inspections often overlook. We use thermal imaging cameras to detect moisture patterns behind walls and in hidden areas where mold frequently develops undetected.
Many inspectors only check obvious locations, but we examine the entire building envelope – including HVAC systems, crawl spaces, and areas around windows and doors where moisture intrusion commonly occurs. Our moisture meters can detect elevated humidity levels in building materials before visible mold appears.
We also understand Upper Darby’s specific building characteristics and climate challenges. This local expertise helps us focus on problem areas that are particularly common in Delaware County homes, ensuring we don’t miss issues that could become serious problems later.
After completing your inspection, you’ll receive a detailed written report within 3-4 business days that includes all laboratory results, photographs of any issues found, and our professional recommendations. The report clearly explains what we discovered and what actions, if any, are needed.
If we find mold problems, we’ll provide a prioritized action plan with cost estimates for remediation. We work with your insurance company to help navigate the claims process when coverage applies. For minor issues, we may recommend simple solutions you can handle yourself.
When professional remediation is needed, we can connect you with qualified contractors or handle the work ourselves. We also provide follow-up testing after remediation to verify that problems have been completely resolved and your home meets healthy indoor air quality standards.
