You’re noticing something off. Maybe it’s a musty smell in the basement. Maybe your kids have been dealing with stuffy noses and itchy eyes that won’t quit. Maybe you just bought a home in Somerton and want to know what you’re actually dealing with before problems get expensive.
Mold testing gives you documentation. Not opinions, not estimates based on what someone thinks they see. You get laboratory results that tell you exactly what types of mold are present, where they’re concentrated, and what levels you’re dealing with.
That matters when you’re trying to protect your family’s health or your property value. Somerton’s humid summers and older housing stock create perfect conditions for mold growth in places you can’t see. Behind walls. Under baseboards. In HVAC ducts. Professional mold detection finds it before it spreads.
We’ve been serving Bucks County homeowners for over 25 years. We understand how Pennsylvania’s climate works against your home. The temperature swings, the humidity, the way moisture gets trapped in spaces that were built before modern ventilation standards.
We’re certified technicians who follow EPA standards and Pennsylvania regulations. That’s not marketing language. That’s what keeps your family safe and your documentation valid for insurance claims or real estate transactions.
You’re not getting a pressure sale. You’re getting a thorough assessment, laboratory analysis from independent facilities, and a detailed report that explains what we found and what it means for your specific situation.
First, we do a complete visual examination of your property. We’re looking at every accessible area where moisture problems typically show up in Somerton homes. Basements, crawl spaces, attics, around windows, near plumbing. We use thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture that your eyes can’t catch.
Then we collect samples. Air samples from multiple locations throughout your home. Surface samples from areas where we see growth or suspect problems. Each sample gets labeled, documented, and sent to an independent laboratory for analysis.
The lab identifies exactly what types of mold are present and measures concentration levels. You get results within 3-7 days. We walk you through the findings, explain what the numbers mean, and answer your questions without trying to upsell you on services you don’t need.
If remediation is necessary, we give you a clear scope of work and upfront pricing. If it’s not, we tell you that too.

Your mold inspection covers air quality sampling, surface testing, moisture mapping, and thermal imaging. We’re not just looking for visible growth. We’re finding the moisture sources that cause mold problems in the first place.
In Somerton, that often means checking areas specific to homes built in the 1960s. Multi-family units and townhomes from that era have common weak points. Shared walls with limited airflow. Basements that weren’t waterproofed to current standards. HVAC systems that need better humidity control.
You get a comprehensive report with laboratory results, photographs, moisture readings, and our professional interpretation. That documentation matters if you’re filing an insurance claim, buying or selling property, or just want proof of what’s happening in your home.
Most residential mold testing in this area runs between $400-$600, depending on your home’s size and how many samples we need to collect. We give you the price upfront during our free initial inspection.
You need testing when you’re dealing with unexplained health symptoms that won’t go away. Runny nose, coughing, itchy eyes, skin irritation. Especially if multiple people in your household are experiencing the same issues and they improve when you leave the house.
You also need testing after any water damage, even if it was cleaned up quickly. Mold can start growing within 24-48 hours in the right conditions. If you’ve had a leak, flooding, or persistent moisture problems, testing tells you whether remediation is necessary.
Testing makes sense before buying a home in Somerton too. Properties here average 50+ years old. You want to know what you’re getting into before you’re responsible for expensive remediation. Many buyers include mold inspection as part of their due diligence, especially on homes with basements or previous water damage.
A mold inspection is the visual examination. We’re looking at your property, checking for visible growth, using moisture meters and thermal imaging to find problem areas. That’s the detective work that tells us where to focus.
Mold testing is the laboratory analysis. We collect air and surface samples from specific locations and send them to independent labs. They identify the exact species of mold present and measure concentration levels. That gives you scientific documentation instead of visual estimates.
You typically need both. The inspection finds the problems. The testing confirms what you’re dealing with and how serious it is. Some situations only need inspection if there’s obvious growth and you’re moving straight to remediation. But if you need documentation for insurance, real estate transactions, or health concerns, laboratory testing is necessary.
Most residential mold testing runs between $400-$600 in this area. The exact price depends on your home’s size, how many samples we need to collect, and whether we’re testing air quality, surfaces, or both.
A typical inspection for a single-family home includes multiple air samples from different rooms, surface samples from suspected problem areas, moisture mapping, and thermal imaging. You get laboratory analysis from an independent facility and a detailed report explaining the findings.
We offer free initial inspections where we assess your situation and give you upfront pricing before any testing happens. No surprises, no pressure. If your mold problem is related to a covered event like a burst pipe or storm damage, your homeowner’s insurance may cover testing and remediation costs.
The on-site inspection and sample collection typically takes 1-3 hours depending on your home’s size and the number of areas we’re testing. We’re thorough but efficient. We’re not going to disrupt your entire day.
Laboratory analysis takes 3-7 days once samples reach the facility. That’s standard turnaround for accurate identification and concentration measurements. If you’re dealing with an urgent situation affecting your family’s health, we can sometimes expedite results, though that may involve additional lab fees.
Once results come back, we schedule a follow-up consultation to review findings and discuss next steps. That conversation usually takes 30-45 minutes. We walk you through the report, answer your questions, and provide recommendations based on what the lab found.
Home test kits can tell you if mold spores are present, but they can’t tell you much beyond that. Every home has some mold spores in the air. What matters is the type of mold and the concentration levels. That requires professional sampling methods and laboratory analysis.
DIY kits also can’t find hidden mold growth. They test whatever air is in the room at that moment. They don’t use thermal imaging to detect moisture behind walls. They don’t identify the source of the problem or give you a remediation plan.
If you’re dealing with health symptoms, property damage, or need documentation for insurance or real estate purposes, professional mold testing is worth the investment. You’re getting accurate data from certified technicians who understand how to interpret results and what they mean for your specific situation in Somerton’s climate and housing conditions.
First, don’t panic. Finding mold doesn’t mean your home is unlivable or worthless. It means you have information to make decisions. The laboratory report tells you what types of mold are present, where concentrations are highest, and whether levels pose health risks.
If remediation is necessary, we provide a detailed scope of work and upfront pricing. We explain what needs to happen, why it needs to happen, and what you can expect during the process. We handle everything according to EPA guidelines and Pennsylvania regulations to protect your family and your property.
We also identify and fix the moisture source causing the mold growth. That’s critical. You can remove mold all day, but if you don’t fix the leak, the poor ventilation, or the humidity problem, it’s coming back. We’ve been doing this in Bucks County since 1997. We know how to solve the problem, not just treat the symptoms.
