Mold Removal in Passyunk Square, PA
Passyunk Square is the wedge of South Philadelphia around East Passyunk Avenue from Washington Avenue down to Broad and Snyder, taking in the Italian Market blocks along Ninth Street. The housing is two-story brick rowhouses from the 1890s through the 1920s, with a scattering of three-story corner houses that were stores below and homes above. Foundations are rubble stone or soft early brick, roofs are flat and drain to a single box, and the kitchen is usually a rear addition.
When you call from Passyunk Square, we put you through to an independent local mold provider. The provider does the metering, the scope, and the work; we set up the call and nothing more.
The neighborhood sits on filled creek bottom and a combined sewer, so a hard storm sends water up the floor drain in the cellar. In between, the calls are a basement wall that sweats behind the drywall somebody added when they finished the cellar, a second-floor bathroom with no fan over the kitchen, and a party wall carrying the neighbor's roof leak.
Passyunk Square mold removal behind the finished cellar wall
Drywall or paneling over a stone wall that reads wet is mold removal. A ceiling film and a soft floor in the only bathroom is bathroom mold removal, with the kitchen ceiling below checked for a stain. A black patch on a top-floor ceiling under a ponding roof is black mold removal, and the roof box gets cleared first.
Before the crew comes
Put an extension on the downspout if it empties against the foundation, shut the supply valves under a vanity if the floor is soft, and keep the cellar door closed. Photograph everything; the adjuster and the crew both want to see what it looked like before anything was moved.
Call (215) 600-0376 and describe the water and the growth. We put you through to an independent local mold provider serving Passyunk Square.
Services Available in Passyunk Square
Mold Removal
Growth on plaster or drywall after a party-wall leak, a stone-foundation seep, or a radiator pipe: room sealed, wet material cut to the meter line, framing HEPA-cleaned and dried.
Black Mold Removal
A dark patch on a basement wall or bathroom ceiling handled by how far the water traveled, not its color: containment, porous material out, hard surfaces cleaned, source fixed.
Whole-Home Mold Remediation
A sewer backup that filled the basement or a flat-roof leak that ran down three floors, mapped floor by floor and cleared in zones as one project.
HVAC Mold Cleaning
Coil, drain pan, and condensate line cleaned or replaced when a basement or closet air handler sweats through a humid Philadelphia summer.
Bathroom Mold Removal
Growth behind a vanity, under a tile shower, or on a ceiling with no exhaust fan in a rowhouse second-floor bath, removed with the leak fixed first.
Attic Mold Remediation
Growth on rafters and sheathing under a flat roof or a twin's slate roof, cleaned and treated once the roofing or the ventilation is corrected.
Mold Odor Removal
A musty smell in a rowhouse that looks fine, traced to a wet stone wall, a damp joist end, or the dirt under an old cellar floor, then removed and treated.
Mold Damage Repair
Plaster, drywall, baseboard, and subfloor put back after removal, once the basement reads dry and the roof, pipe, or drain that caused it is repaired.
