You’ll sleep better knowing that musty smell is gone for good. Your kids can play in the basement without you worrying about their breathing. Your home feels fresh again, and you’re not embarrassed when friends come over.
The headaches stop. The coughing fits end. You’re not constantly wondering if that dark spot on the wall is getting bigger. When we’re done, your home is the safe haven it should be – not a source of stress and health concerns.
We’ve been helping Nicetown-Tioga families deal with mold problems for years. We understand the unique challenges of Philadelphia’s older row homes – the brick foundations that trap moisture, the basements that never quite dry out, and the shared walls that can spread problems from house to house.
We’ve seen every type of mold situation these neighborhoods can throw at us. From basement flooding after heavy rains to mysterious odors coming from behind kitchen cabinets. We know where mold likes to hide in these homes, and more importantly, how to get rid of it permanently.
First, we show up when we say we will and give you a straight answer about what you’re dealing with. No scare tactics, no inflated estimates. We find the source of the moisture that’s feeding the mold – because cleaning mold without fixing the cause is like mopping the floor with the faucet still running.
Next, we contain the area so mold spores don’t spread to clean parts of your home. We use professional-grade equipment to remove the mold completely, not just scrub the surface. Then we treat the area to prevent it from coming back.
Finally, we test the air to make sure the job is done right. You get documentation showing your home is clean and safe. No guesswork, no hoping for the best.
Ready to get started?
Complete mold inspection and testing to find hidden problems before they get worse. Professional removal using equipment that actually works – not the same shop vac your neighbor tried to use. Treatment of the source, whether it’s a leaky pipe, poor ventilation, or water seeping through your foundation.
In Nicetown-Tioga’s older homes, we often find mold in predictable places: behind kitchen sinks where old plumbing leaks, in basements where moisture comes through brick foundations, and in bathrooms with inadequate ventilation. We’ve learned that these row homes built in the 1920s and 1930s have common problem areas, and we check them all.
You also get honest pricing upfront, work done by trained technicians, and a guarantee that the job is done right. We’re not the cheapest option in Philadelphia, but we’re the one that fixes the problem permanently.
Most mold removal jobs in our area run between $1,500 and $3,500, depending on the size and location of the problem. Small bathroom issues might cost less, while basement flooding that’s been sitting for weeks will cost more.
The price depends on how much area is affected, whether we need to remove drywall or flooring, and how much moisture damage there is. We give you an exact quote after we see the situation – no surprises or hidden fees later.
Most jobs take 2-4 days from start to finish. Day one is usually containment and removal. Day two is treatment and cleanup. If we need to remove walls or flooring, add another day or two.
Row homes can be tricky because mold sometimes spreads through shared walls or from house to house. We work efficiently but we don’t rush – doing it right the first time saves you money and headaches later.
Not if we fix the moisture source that caused it in the first place. Mold needs water to grow, so if we eliminate the leak, improve ventilation, or fix drainage problems, it won’t return to that spot.
We guarantee our work because we don’t just clean mold – we solve the underlying problem. That might mean recommending a plumber for a slow leak or suggesting better bathroom ventilation. The goal is permanent results, not repeat customers.
All mold can cause health problems, especially for people with allergies, asthma, or compromised immune systems. “Black mold” (Stachybotrys) gets more attention, but green, white, or brown mold can also make you sick.
The important thing is getting any mold growth removed quickly and safely. We treat every mold situation seriously because your family’s health is what matters, not the specific species growing in your home.
Small surface mold (less than 10 square feet) can sometimes be cleaned with bleach and elbow grease. But if you can smell mold, see it growing behind walls, or if it keeps coming back, you need professional help.
DIY cleaning often makes the problem worse by spreading spores throughout your home. Plus, you might miss hidden mold that’s causing the odor and health symptoms. Professional removal costs more upfront but prevents bigger problems later.
Yes, we work with insurance companies regularly and provide all the documentation they need for your claim. We take photos, provide detailed reports, and explain exactly what work was necessary and why.
Keep in mind that insurance typically covers mold removal if it’s caused by a “sudden and accidental” water event like a burst pipe. Gradual leaks or maintenance issues usually aren’t covered. We’ll help you understand what your policy covers before we start work.
