Mold Removal in University City, PA

University City is the stretch of West Philadelphia between the Schuylkill and about 50th Street anchored by Penn, Drexel, and the hospital campuses along Civic Center Boulevard and Spruce Street. Off the campuses, the housing is 1880s through 1910s Victorian rowhouses and twins, three stories with porches, bay windows, and slate mansard or flat roofs, and a large share of them have been divided into student apartments with a kitchen and bathroom added on every floor.

This line puts University City 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.

Those added bathrooms are the mold story. A third-floor bath with no fan over a second-floor bath over a kitchen, each with its own supply lines and drains threaded through a 130-year-old wall, leaks somewhere every few years, and the plaster between floors shows it. The rubble foundations weep through the summer, and the flat and mansard roofs drain through boxes and gutters that student tenants never clear.

University City mold removal in a Victorian cut into four apartments

Soft, bubbled plaster along a pipe chase between two bathrooms is mold removal, and the crew opens only the wet run. A ceiling film in a third-floor bath with no fan is bathroom mold removal. A dark top-floor ceiling under a mansard that leaks at the gutter is black mold removal. Landlords should expect the crew to document the moisture path so tenants and owners are working from the same facts.

The district that keeps the streets lit

University City District runs the neighborhood's cleaning, lighting, and public-space work between the campuses and the residential blocks west of 40th Street.
