Basement Mold Removal Eastern Pennsylvania

Basements are one of the most common hot-spots for mold development in Eastern PA. Basements are notoriously damp and have poor air circulation, not to mention they present a high risk of water seepage through your foundation walls. Once mold takes hold in your basement, it can spread quickly due to conducive conditions.

Mastertech’s basement mold removal professionals can identify if your basement has a mold problem and develop a safe and effective basement mold removal solution for your Eastern PA home or business. Once your basement is clean and safe, we’ll make recommendations for preventing mold recurrence.

Why do you have mold in your basement?

Your Eastern PA basement can possess the perfect conditions for mold growth and continuous development. Excess moisture is one of the main causes of fungal activity – usually from high humidity or water leakage into the basement. Here are some of the more common causes for mold in your basements:

• High humidity – over 55%
• Water leaking or seeping through foundation walls
• Flooding
• Poor air circulation
• Condensation from ducts

Risks Involved with Mold

Mold can potentially be making you and your family sick. Mold effects each person differently. Mold symptoms range from mild allergic reactions to severe upper respiratory problems. It all depends on the individual, the species of mold, the length of exposure, and several other factors.

In addition to potential health risks, living in a home with mold is simply unsafe due to the underlying water problems. Mold and water damage can eat away at your building materials and seriously compromise the structural integrity of your home. That is why an attic mold removal plan will ALWAYS include moisture control tactics to prevent future problems.

Basement Mold Inspection Process Eastern PA

Visual Assessment– Your Mastertech Inspector will complete a comprehensive visual analysis to determine any conditions that could stimulate mold growth in your basement. We will provide you thorough digital documentation for your records.

Moisture Mapping– Your inspector will carefully map out the damp or wet areas of your basement to determine where water or moisture could be getting in.

Moisture Meters: Moisture meters allow us to read the moisture content of building materials in your basement. Moisture locked within porous building materials like foundation walls can go unnoticed for a long time.

Thermal Imaging: Your mold inspector will be taking advantage of the temperature difference between wet and dry materials. Thermal imaging will allow your inspector to clearly identify all wet areas and paint a picture of the mold spread.

Basement Mold Testing– Surface and/or air quality tests will provide scientific data that will confirm or deny the presence of mold. If mold is confirmed in your basement, the test results will help your inspector figure out the most appropriate course of action to resolve the mold issue.

Report of Findings– After completing a basement mold inspection in Eastern PA, your inspector will compile a clear and concise report that outlines all his/her findings. If deemed necessary, your inspector will present you with a detailed scope of work for a safe and effective basement mold removal in Eastern Pennsylvania.
