You’ll notice the difference immediately. That musty smell disappears. Your family stops coughing at night. The air feels lighter, cleaner.
Your basement becomes usable space again instead of a damp storage area you avoid. No more worrying about what’s growing behind your walls or whether that spot will come back next month.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind. When mold is gone—really gone—you can breathe easy knowing your home is safe for everyone who lives there.
We understand what homeowners in Kensington face. Your older homes, built around 1952, weren’t designed for today’s humidity levels. Clay soil holds moisture against foundations. Basements stay damp year-round.
We’ve been handling these exact problems for years. Every job teaches us something new about how mold behaves in Pennsylvania’s climate, and we use that knowledge to solve your problem right the first time.
You’re not getting a generic approach from some national chain. You’re getting local expertise that knows your neighborhood’s specific challenges.
First, we find every spot where mold is growing. Not just the obvious places, but the hidden areas behind walls and under floors where most companies miss it.
Next, we contain the area so spores can’t spread to clean parts of your home. Our HEPA filtration systems pull contaminated air out while we work.
Then we remove the mold using commercial-grade solutions that penetrate deep into porous materials like wood and drywall. We don’t just spray the surface and hope for the best.
Finally, we address the moisture source that caused the problem. Without fixing that, mold will return. We make sure it doesn’t.

Complete mold inspection using moisture sensors and thermal imaging to find hidden growth. Professional containment to protect your family and belongings during the process.
Industrial-strength removal using EPA-approved methods that eliminate mold at the source. Safe disposal of contaminated materials following Pennsylvania regulations.
In Kensington specifically, we see mold most often in basements with stone foundations and crawl spaces with poor ventilation. Your neighborhood’s older construction means we often work around plaster walls and brick that require special handling. We know how to protect these materials while eliminating the mold completely.
Most residential mold removal jobs in Kensington take 2-4 days, depending on the size and location of the problem. Basement mold typically takes longer because we need to address moisture sources and ensure proper ventilation.
Small bathroom jobs might finish in one day. Whole-house remediation after water damage can take up to a week. We’ll give you an accurate timeline after our initial inspection.
The key is doing it right, not fast. Rushing mold removal means it comes back, and nobody wants to pay for the same job twice.
Moisture is the root cause, and Pennsylvania basements face unique challenges. Clay soil around Kensington holds water against foundation walls. Poor ventilation traps humid air. Old stone foundations allow water seepage through tiny cracks.
Many homeowners treat the mold but ignore the moisture source. That’s like painting over rust without stopping the water leak. The mold will return within months.
We identify and fix the moisture problem first. Sometimes that means improving drainage, installing dehumidifiers, or sealing foundation cracks. Without controlling moisture, mold removal is just a temporary Band-Aid.
Black mold (Stachybotrys) can produce toxins that cause serious health problems, especially for children, elderly people, and anyone with respiratory conditions. But here’s what most people don’t know: color alone doesn’t determine toxicity.
Some black-colored molds are relatively harmless. Some green or white molds can be quite toxic. The only way to know for sure is professional testing, which we include with every inspection.
What matters most is removing all mold growth quickly and safely, regardless of type. Every mold species can trigger allergies and respiratory issues. None of them belong in your home.
Professional mold removal in Kensington typically costs $10-25 per square foot, with most jobs ranging from $1,500 to $5,000. Small bathroom projects might cost $800-1,500. Whole basement remediation can reach $8,000-12,000.
Several factors affect the price: size of affected area, type of materials involved, accessibility, and extent of moisture damage. Hidden mold behind finished walls costs more to reach and treat.
We provide free estimates with no surprises. You’ll know exactly what the job involves and what it costs before we start any work.
For small, contained jobs like bathroom mold, you can usually stay home. We seal off the work area and use negative air pressure to prevent spores from spreading to other rooms.
Larger jobs requiring whole-house treatment may require temporary relocation, especially if you have young children, elderly family members, or anyone with respiratory conditions. Disturbing mold releases spores into the air.
We’ll discuss your specific situation during the estimate. Your family’s health and safety come first, and we’ll recommend the safest approach for your particular job.
Pennsylvania homeowners insurance typically covers mold removal only if it results from a covered event like burst pipes, storm damage, or appliance leaks. Mold from long-term moisture problems or poor maintenance usually isn’t covered.
Some policies include limited mold coverage, often capped at $10,000. Others exclude it entirely. Check your policy or call your agent to understand your specific coverage.
We can help document the damage and provide detailed reports for insurance claims. Many of our customers receive partial or full coverage when mold results from sudden water damage rather than ongoing moisture issues.
