We had no idea our bathroom fan was venting straight into the attic until they pointed it out. The mold on the sheathing was cleaned up and they explained exactly why it kept coming back after we'd tried dealing with it ourselves.

Professional from start to finish. They handled the insurance side and made a stressful week much easier for our family.
The inspector used a moisture meter and thermal camera to find hidden mold. Impressive and worth every dollar.

Good to know
Attic Mold Removal in Norwood, PA: common questions
How do I know if I have attic mold?
Most homeowners don't see it directly since attics aren't visited often. Signs include a musty smell near the attic access, dark staining you notice while up there for another reason, or a bathroom fan that seems to run into open space rather than outside.
Do you replace all the insulation?
Only the insulation that's wet, compressed, or contaminated. Insulation outside the affected area usually doesn't need to be touched.
Will you check my attic ventilation even if I don't have visible mold?
Yes, if you're concerned about a musty smell or just want a general check, we can inspect ventilation and moisture levels without assuming there's already a problem.
Do I need to leave my Norwood home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Norwood home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Is attic mold from a roof leak different to treat than mold from ventilation?
The removal process is similar, but the fix afterward is different. A roof leak needs roofing repair to stop future water intrusion; a ventilation issue needs the exhaust routing or soffit airflow corrected.
Can attic mold affect the air quality in my house?
It can, especially if there's airflow between the attic and living space through gaps, can lights, or the attic access hatch. That's part of why we contain the access point during work.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after attic mold removal?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Norwood home.
Do you serve Norwood?
Yes. We cover all of Norwood, including Prospect Park, Glenolden, Folsom, and the rest of the Norwood area. We are based in Folcroft, about 5 minutes from our Folcroft base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
