Mold Removal in Olney, PA

Olney is the North Philadelphia neighborhood around Olney Avenue and Fifth Street, between Logan and Lawncrest, with Tacony Creek Park on its eastern edge. The housing is 1920s and 1930s two-story brick rowhouses, many with front porches and a few with garages under the back, on poured-concrete or early block foundations with flat roofs draining to one box.

A call from Olney goes to an independent local mold provider who reads the house with a meter before saying what comes out. We connect the call; the provider does the rest.

Olney's low side slopes toward Tacony Creek, and the combined sewer there backs up in a hard storm. The rest is the Philadelphia rowhouse set: a basement wall that sweats behind paneling, a party wall carrying the neighbor's roof leak, a second-floor bathroom with no fan over the kitchen, and a shared flat roof whose drain box has not been cleared in years. The rows with a garage under the back have a driveway that slopes to the garage door, and a clogged drain at the bottom sends every hard rain into the basement.

A finished basement wall that reads wet is mold removal. A ceiling film in a bathroom with no fan is bathroom mold removal. A basement that took sewer water through the floor drain and reached the first floor is whole-home mold remediation. Growth on the wall nearest the garage after a storm is the driveway drain's doing, and the crew checks it while they are there.

The university at Twentieth and Olney

La Salle University occupies the neighborhood's western edge at 20th Street and Olney Avenue, and the rows around it hold a mix of long-time owners and student rentals whose landlords call about the same bathrooms every few years.
