You’ll breathe easier knowing the musty smell is gone for good. Your family stops dealing with unexplained coughing and respiratory issues that seem worse at home.
The black spots behind your bathroom tiles disappear completely. Your basement feels dry and clean instead of damp and concerning.
Most importantly, you have confidence the problem won’t return. We don’t just clean what you see—we eliminate the moisture sources that caused the mold in the first place.
We’ve been serving Philadelphia area families since 1997. We understand how Strawberry Mansion’s historic housing stock creates unique challenges—from shared walls that spread contamination to aging foundations that trap moisture.
Our certified technicians know exactly where mold hides in these older homes. We’ve seen how the neighborhood’s row houses, built mostly before 1950, develop problems in predictable patterns.
You’re not getting a generic approach. You’re getting professionals who understand your specific situation and have the experience to handle it right the first time.
First, we inspect your entire property using moisture meters and infrared cameras. We find mold hiding behind walls, under floors, and in places you’d never think to look.
Next, we contain the affected areas with plastic sheeting and negative air pressure systems. This prevents mold spores from spreading to clean parts of your home during removal.
Then we eliminate the mold completely using HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial treatments, and specialized equipment. If materials are too damaged, we remove and replace them safely. Finally, we address the moisture source—because if we don’t fix what caused the mold, it’ll just come back.

In Strawberry Mansion, we commonly address basement mold from poor drainage, bathroom mold from inadequate ventilation, and HVAC contamination that spreads spores throughout older homes. The neighborhood’s attached housing means we take extra precautions to prevent cross-contamination.
We provide upfront pricing, flexible payment options, and work directly with your insurance company. Most projects take 1-5 days depending on severity, and we coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your family’s routine.
Most homeowners in Strawberry Mansion pay between $1,200 and $3,400 for professional mold removal, with an average around $2,200. The exact cost depends on the size of the affected area, type of mold, and extent of damage.
Small bathroom issues might cost $500-$1,500, while extensive problems requiring wall removal can reach $5,000 or more. We provide free inspections and upfront estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Many insurance policies cover mold removal when caused by covered events like burst pipes, and we help navigate the claims process.
Strawberry Mansion’s housing stock creates perfect conditions for mold growth. Most homes were built before 1950 with materials and construction methods that don’t handle moisture well.
The neighborhood’s row houses share walls, allowing moisture and mold to spread between units. Original brick foundations often lack proper waterproofing, and many homes have flat roofs prone to leaks. Philadelphia’s humid climate makes these problems worse, with summer humidity often exceeding 60%.
Poor ventilation in older homes traps moisture from cooking, showering, and daily activities. Without modern vapor barriers and drainage systems, these homes struggle to stay dry enough to prevent mold growth.
Most residential mold removal projects take 1-5 days, depending on the extent of the problem. Simple surface mold in a bathroom might be completed in one day, while basement or attic remediation typically takes 2-3 days.
Complex situations like mold behind walls or in HVAC systems can take a week or longer. This includes time for proper drying, multiple cleaning phases, and post-remediation testing to confirm complete elimination.
We provide realistic timelines during your free inspection and help you plan if the work temporarily affects livability. The key is doing the job right the first time rather than rushing and having mold return later.
Mold exposure commonly causes respiratory symptoms like coughing, sneezing, throat irritation, and worsening asthma. Many families notice these symptoms improve when they leave home and worsen when they return.
Children and elderly residents are particularly vulnerable to mold-related health issues. Long-term exposure can lead to more serious respiratory problems, headaches, and allergic reactions that affect daily life.
Philadelphia’s high childhood asthma rates may be partially linked to indoor mold problems in older housing. The combination of humid climate and aging homes creates conditions where mold thrives, making professional removal essential for protecting your family’s health.
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies and help streamline the claims process. Many homeowners insurance policies cover mold removal when it’s caused by a covered event like burst pipes, roof leaks, or other sudden water damage.
We provide detailed documentation, photos, and reports that insurance companies require. Our experience with claims helps minimize your out-of-pocket costs and reduces the paperwork burden on you.
We handle communication with adjusters and provide upfront estimates that align with insurance requirements. If your claim is denied, we offer flexible payment options to make professional mold removal accessible regardless of insurance coverage.
Preventing mold return requires addressing the underlying moisture source, not just removing visible growth. We identify and help you fix leaky pipes, improve ventilation, and control humidity levels that allowed mold to develop initially.
In Strawberry Mansion’s older homes, this often means upgrading ventilation in bathrooms and basements, sealing foundation cracks, and improving drainage around the property. We also recommend maintaining indoor humidity below 50% using dehumidifiers.
We provide specific prevention strategies based on your home’s unique conditions and conduct post-remediation testing to verify complete elimination. Our approach focuses on long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes that allow mold to return.
