Mold testing in Pennsylvania
Older homes, basements and humid summers make moisture and mold common issues across Pennsylvania, particularly in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
When Pennsylvania homeowners should consider testing
- After a flood, storm, roof leak or plumbing leak
- Persistent musty odor with no visible source
- Buying or selling a home, especially one with a crawl space or basement
- Unexplained allergy-like symptoms at home
- Confirming remediation is complete
Choosing an inspector in Pennsylvania
Ask for proof of insurance, a sample report, which accredited lab they use, and whether they also sell remediation (independent testers avoid a conflict of interest).
