You’ve noticed the musty smell. Maybe some discoloration on the walls near the bathroom. Or your kid’s asthma has gotten worse since you moved in, and you can’t figure out why.
Mold doesn’t always show itself. It hides behind wallpaper, under baseboards, inside HVAC ducts. You can’t fix what you can’t see, and guessing costs you time, money, and peace of mind.
Professional mold testing tells you what’s actually there. Not just “yes” or “no,” but what type of mold, how much, and where it’s concentrated. That’s the difference between throwing money at the wrong wall and solving the actual problem.
Once you know what you’re dealing with, everything gets easier. You’ll have documentation for insurance. A clear plan for remediation. And the confidence that comes from working with real data instead of fear.
We’ve been serving Pennsylvania homeowners for over 25 years. We’ve seen what happens when mold gets ignored, and we’ve helped hundreds of families in Logan and the surrounding Philadelphia area get their homes back to safe, livable condition.
We know the older housing stock around here. The rowhouses and twins built in the 1930s that trap moisture in ways newer construction doesn’t. The humidity that comes with living near the Delaware River. The spring rains that turn basements into breeding grounds.
Our team uses the same equipment and testing protocols whether it’s a small condo or a multi-unit property. We’re not here to upsell you on services you don’t need. We’re here to give you accurate information so you can make the right call for your home and your family.
First, we walk through your property and talk about what you’ve noticed. Smells, stains, health symptoms, water damage anything that brought you here. We’re not rushing. This part matters.
Then we start the inspection. We use thermal imaging to find hidden moisture behind walls and ceilings. We take air samples from multiple rooms to measure spore levels. If we see visible growth or suspicious areas, we collect surface samples too.
Every sample gets sent to an independent lab. Not our lab. An accredited third-party facility that tells us exactly what species of mold are present and at what concentration. No guessing. No conflicts of interest.
Within three to seven days, you get a full report. Lab results, photos, moisture readings, and our assessment of what needs to happen next. If there’s mold, we’ll explain the severity and walk through your options. If there’s not, you’ll have documentation proving your home is clear.

You’re not just paying for someone to look around and take a guess. Our mold evaluation includes a complete visual inspection of your property, including areas most people never check crawl spaces, attics, behind appliances, inside HVAC systems.
We use thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature differences that indicate moisture intrusion. Mold doesn’t grow without water, so finding the moisture source is half the battle. Air sampling captures spores you can’t see, which is critical if you’re dealing with symptoms but no visible growth.
Surface testing happens when we find something that looks like mold but needs confirmation. We collect samples carefully to avoid cross-contamination, then send everything to the lab with chain-of-custody documentation.
Pennsylvania’s climate makes mold a year-round issue here in Logan. Precipitation has increased 5% to 10% in recent years, and that extra moisture has to go somewhere. Older homes weren’t built with the same vapor barriers and ventilation systems we use today, which means they’re more vulnerable. Our testing accounts for these local conditions, so the recommendations we make actually fit the home you’re living in not some generic checklist.
Mold testing in Pennsylvania typically starts around $300 for a standard residential inspection. That includes a visual examination, moisture detection, and two air samples. If your home is larger or you need more sample locations, the cost can go up to $600 or $800.
Most homes in Logan fall in the $400 to $600 range. The exact price depends on square footage, how many levels you have, and whether we’re testing specific problem areas or doing a whole-house evaluation.
We offer a free initial consultation, so you’re not paying anything just to have a conversation about what’s going on. If you decide to move forward with testing, we’ll give you a clear quote before we start. No surprises.
Once we collect samples and send them to the lab, results usually come back in three to seven days. The lab is analyzing the samples to identify specific mold species and measure concentration levels, which takes time to do correctly.
You’ll receive a detailed report that includes lab findings, photos from the inspection, moisture readings, and our professional assessment. We don’t just hand you a stack of papers we walk through the results with you and explain what they mean in plain language.
If you’re dealing with an urgent situation, let us know. We can sometimes request expedited processing, though that may come with an additional lab fee. Most of the time, the standard turnaround is fast enough to keep your remediation or insurance claim moving forward without delays.
You can, but you won’t get the same information. DIY kits can tell you if mold spores are present, but they can’t tell you what kind of mold it is, how much is there, or whether it’s at a dangerous level. That’s the information you actually need to make decisions.
Some mold is harmless. Some mold is toxic. A DIY kit won’t tell you the difference. It also won’t find hidden mold growth behind walls or in your HVAC system, which is where the real problems usually are.
Professional mold testing includes a full property inspection, multiple sample types, thermal imaging for moisture detection, and lab analysis by certified technicians. If you’re trying to document a problem for insurance, sell a home, or protect your family’s health, a $30 kit from the hardware store isn’t going to cut it.
The most obvious sign is visible mold growth dark spots on walls, fuzzy patches in corners, discoloration around windows or pipes. But plenty of homes have mold problems without any visible growth.
A musty odor is a red flag, especially if it’s stronger in certain rooms or gets worse when the heat or AC is running. Unexplained health symptoms are another indicator: respiratory issues, headaches, fatigue, or allergy-like symptoms that don’t go away.
If you’ve had any water damage leaks, flooding, roof damage, plumbing issues you should get tested even if you don’t see or smell anything. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, and it often colonizes in places you can’t see. Testing gives you confirmation one way or the other, which is worth the cost compared to letting a hidden problem spread for months.
Yes. If testing confirms you have a mold problem, we can handle the entire remediation process from start to finish. That includes containment, removal, cleaning, and reconstruction if needed.
We don’t just test and walk away. We give you a clear plan based on the lab results, explain what needs to happen, and provide an estimate for remediation. You’re not obligated to use us for the removal, but most people appreciate having one company handle the whole job instead of coordinating between multiple contractors.
Our team follows EPA guidelines and Pennsylvania regulations for mold remediation. We use professional-grade equipment, and we’re available 24/7 if you’re dealing with an emergency situation. Once the work is done, we can do post-remediation testing to confirm the mold is gone and your indoor air quality is back to safe levels.
Mold exposure can cause a range of health issues, especially for people with asthma, allergies, or weakened immune systems. Common symptoms include coughing, sneezing, throat irritation, nasal congestion, eye irritation, and skin rashes. Some people experience headaches or fatigue that won’t go away.
If symptoms get better when you leave the house and worse when you come back, that’s a strong indicator that something in your indoor environment is the problem. Kids and elderly family members are often more sensitive to mold exposure than healthy adults.
The only way to know for sure is to test your home and identify what’s in the air. Once you have lab results, you can compare the types and concentrations of mold in your home to known health thresholds. If the levels are high or if toxic species like black mold are present, you’ll have the documentation you need to take action and protect your family.
