That musty smell isn’t going away on its own. Neither are the headaches, the stuffy nose, or that nagging feeling something’s wrong with your home’s air quality.
Professional mold testing cuts through the guesswork. You get laboratory-confirmed results that tell you exactly what types of mold are present, where they’re hiding, and how much is floating through your air right now.
No more wondering if that basement odor is “just old house smell” or if your family’s respiratory symptoms are connected to something growing in your walls.
Jeff and our team at Mack’s Mold Removal have been serving Gwynedd Valley and Montgomery County for over 15 years. When you call, you talk directly to Jeff—the owner who actually shows up to your property.
Local contractors trust us because we consistently deliver accurate results and fair pricing. Jeff understands how Pennsylvania’s humid climate creates perfect conditions for mold growth, especially in the older homes common throughout Gwynedd Valley.
You’re not just getting a test. You’re getting someone who knows exactly where mold likes to hide in homes like yours.
First, Jeff conducts a thorough visual inspection of your property, checking for obvious signs of mold growth, moisture problems, and conditions that encourage mold development. He uses specialized moisture meters to measure humidity levels in walls and floors.
Next comes the sampling. Air samples are collected from multiple areas using professional-grade equipment, and surface samples are taken from any suspicious areas. These samples head straight to an independent laboratory for analysis.
Within 24 hours, you receive detailed lab results showing exactly what types of mold are present and their concentration levels. Jeff reviews these findings with you and explains what they mean for your home and health.

Your mold testing includes visual inspection, moisture readings, air sampling, and surface testing when needed. Lab analysis identifies specific mold types and spore concentrations, giving you the complete picture of your indoor air quality.
Gwynedd Valley’s location in Montgomery County means dealing with Pennsylvania’s challenging humidity levels year-round. Homes here frequently develop moisture issues in basements, crawl spaces, and areas with poor ventilation. We know the common problem spots in local architecture and check them all.
You also get a detailed report with recommendations for addressing any issues found, plus guidance on preventing future mold growth in your specific home environment.
Most customers get same-day service when they call. Jeff typically responds within hours, not days, because we understand that mold concerns can’t wait.
The actual testing process takes about an hour depending on your home’s size and the areas of concern. Air samples and surface samples are collected using professional equipment, then sent immediately to the laboratory.
Lab results come back within 24 hours, giving you fast, accurate answers about what’s in your air. This quick turnaround means you can make informed decisions about your family’s health and your property without the stress of waiting weeks for results.
Air sampling captures mold spores floating in your home’s air, giving you a picture of what you’re actually breathing every day. This method can detect mold even when you can’t see it growing anywhere.
Surface sampling involves taking samples from areas where you can see suspicious growth or discoloration. This confirms whether what looks like mold actually is mold, and identifies the specific types present.
Most comprehensive mold testing includes both methods. Air sampling shows the overall indoor air quality, while surface sampling confirms visible growth and helps pinpoint contamination sources. Together, they give you the complete picture of your mold situation.
DIY mold test kits from the hardware store are notoriously unreliable. The petri dishes almost always show the same results regardless of where you take samples, and they can’t tell you what types of mold are present or their concentration levels.
Professional testing uses calibrated air sampling equipment and sends samples to certified laboratories for analysis. You get specific identification of mold types, spore counts, and comparison data between indoor and outdoor levels.
Jeff also brings 15 years of experience knowing where mold likes to hide in Gwynedd Valley homes. He checks areas you might miss and uses moisture meters to find problems before they become visible. That expertise can’t be replaced by a $20 kit.
Yes, laboratory analysis identifies the specific types of mold present in your home, which is crucial information for understanding health risks. Some molds are more problematic than others, especially for people with allergies, asthma, or compromised immune systems.
The lab results show not just what types of mold are there, but also their concentration levels. High spore counts of certain molds indicate a more serious problem that needs immediate attention.
Jeff reviews these results with you in plain language, explaining what each finding means for your family’s health and your property. You’ll understand exactly what you’re dealing with and what steps to take next, rather than just knowing “there’s mold somewhere.”
We offer free initial inspections, so there’s no cost to have Jeff come out and assess your situation. If testing is needed, he provides fair, upfront pricing on the spot—no surprises or hidden fees.
The cost depends on how many samples are needed based on your home’s size and areas of concern. Most residential mold testing falls within a reasonable range that’s far less expensive than dealing with extensive mold growth later.
Consider that catching mold early through testing can save thousands in remediation costs down the road. Many customers find that the peace of mind alone is worth the investment, especially when they’re dealing with health symptoms or planning to buy or sell a property.
If mold is detected, you receive a detailed report explaining exactly what was found, where the problems are likely occurring, and what steps are recommended to address them. Jeff walks through these findings with you personally.
For minor issues, you might get guidance on simple improvements like better ventilation or humidity control. More significant problems require professional remediation, and Jeff can explain your options without any pressure.
The key is having accurate information to make informed decisions. Some mold situations are manageable with basic improvements, while others need immediate professional attention. The testing results give you the facts you need to protect your family’s health and your property value.
