Certified Mold Remediation Services in Philadelphia
Philadelphia’s rowhomes, historic brownstones, and tightly packed neighborhoods make mold a common problem for homeowners and businesses alike. Between humid summers, older housing stock, and plumbing systems that may date back decades, mold often develops in basements, behind plaster walls, or inside attics before it’s noticed. At MSI, we’ve been providing mold removal in Philadelphia and the surrounding counties since 1998, trusted for safe, thorough, and effective remediation.
Mold Issues in Philadelphia Homes & Businesses
Mold doesn’t discriminate — it can be found in a Center City condo, a South Philly rowhouse, or a Northeast warehouse. Many Philadelphia properties share challenges that create the perfect environment for mold:
-
Aging plumbing and roofing that allow leaks to go unnoticed
-
Damp basements in older homes with stone or brick foundations
-
Flat roofs that collect water and cause hidden ceiling leaks
-
Seasonal humidity that worsens during summer months
-
Vacant properties where leaks or flooding weren’t addressed quickly
Unchecked mold in Philadelphia can:
-
Trigger asthma, allergies, and respiratory problems
-
Spread through HVAC systems and into living spaces
-
Damage drywall, insulation, wood, and personal belongings
-
Lower property values or block real estate transactions
