Mold Removal in Fairmount, PA
Fairmount is the neighborhood north of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway between Broad Street and the Schuylkill, with the Art Museum at its southwestern corner and Eastern State Penitentiary in its middle. The housing is 1870s through 1900s brick rowhouses, two and three stories, on rubble and early brick foundations with flat roofs draining to one box, plus mid-century apartment buildings along the Parkway and new townhouses near the river.
Homeowners in Fairmount use this site's number to reach an independent local mold provider, who meters the house and lays out the scope. We arrange the call only.
Fairmount is on the combined sewer, and the Water Department counts the low blocks nearest the river among the ones where storm water backs up through floor drains. The rowhouses do what Philadelphia rowhouses do: a stone cellar wall weeps behind the drywall somebody added when they finished the basement, a party wall carries the neighbor's roof leak, and a second-floor bathroom with no fan grows a film on its ceiling every winter.
Fairmount mold removal in a three-story row near the Parkway
A finished cellar wall over stone that reads wet is mold removal. A ceiling film and a soft floor in a bathroom with no fan is bathroom mold removal. A dark patch on a top-floor ceiling under a roof that ponds is black mold removal, and the drain box gets cleared first.
The museum on the hill at the corner
The Philadelphia Museum of Art stands on Fairmount, the rise that gave the neighborhood its name, above the Schuylkill at the end of the Parkway, and the streets behind it hold the neighborhood's oldest rows.
Call (215) 600-0376 and tell us what you see. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Fairmount.
Services Available in Fairmount
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.
