Mold Removal in Germantown, PA

Germantown runs along Germantown Avenue from Wayne Junction up to Mount Airy, and it has the widest range of old housing in the city: 1700s stone houses along the avenue, 1850s through 1890s stone and brick Victorians on the side streets, many of them divided into apartments, and 1900s through 1920s brick rowhouses and twins filling in the rest. Fieldstone foundations, slate roofs, and radiator heat are the norm on anything built before 1930.

This line puts Germantown homeowners through to an independent local mold provider. That provider meters the walls, writes the scope, and does the work. We only make the connection.

The Wingohocking Creek once ran through the neighborhood and was buried as a sewer more than a century ago, and the Water Department names Germantown among the low-lying areas where that combined sewer backs up most in heavy rain. A basement on the old creek line takes storm water up the floor drain. The stone foundations weep on their own through a humid summer, and a big Victorian cut into six apartments has six bathrooms leaking into walls built for none.

Soft plaster along a pipe chase between stacked bathrooms is mold removal, and the crew opens only the wet run. A basement that took sewer water through the floor drain and reached the first floor is whole-home mold remediation. A dark north slope across a slate-roofed attic is attic mold remediation.

Eighteen historic houses and a buried creek

Historic Germantown is the partnership of eighteen historic houses and museums along and near the avenue, some of which stand on foundations older than the United States and manage the same ground moisture every homeowner on the block does.
