Fast to respond and easy to reach. The technicians were tidy, respectful of our home, and explained what caused the growth so it would not come back.
Honest company. They told us the mold patch was small enough to clean ourselves and even explained how.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for Philadelphia, PA homes
Mold Inspection in Philadelphia tends to start the same way mold does across Philadelphia County: plumbing leaks and poor ventilation that let damp air linger and mold spread. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Millbourne, Yeadon, East Lansdowne and the rest of Philadelphia call us.
We handle mold inspection for Philadelphia the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Croydon, about 30 minutes from our Croydon base, so we can usually reach a Philadelphia home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
