Mold Removal in Upper Darby, PA
Upper Darby fills the Delaware County side of the Cobbs Creek line, from the 69th Street Transportation Center out through Drexel Hill, Stonehurst, and Highland Park. Most of it went up between 1915 and 1940 as the Market Street elevated line reached 69th Street: block after block of brick rowhomes and twins with front porches, slate or asphalt-shingle pitched roofs, and basements of poured concrete or early block that were never waterproofed.
Those basements are the township's mold story. Darby Creek and Cobbs Creek both run through or along the township, and the remnants of Hurricane Ida on September 1, 2021 put Darby Creek over its banks in Drexel Hill and Clifton Heights. Away from the creeks, the usual problem is a shared gutter between twins that drains against one foundation, or a 1920s cast-iron drain stack that has rusted through inside a bathroom wall.
Homeowners in Upper Darby use this site's number to reach an independent local mold provider, who meters the house and lays out the scope. We arrange the call only.
Upper Darby mold removal in a 1920s twin or a Drexel Hill single
A damp block wall behind basement paneling is mold removal, and the crew checks the joist pockets above it. A bathroom ceiling that grows a film every winter in a house with no fan is bathroom mold removal. A basement that took creek water or a sewer backup in Ida and still smells is whole-home mold remediation.
Township permits, the 69th Street terminal, and the creeks
Rebuilding plumbing, electrical, or structure after removal runs through the township's code office, listed on the Upper Darby Township site, rather than through Philadelphia's L&I. The township grew up around the end of the Market-Frankford Line at 69th Street, which SEPTA still runs as a major transfer point for the western suburbs, and the oldest housing stands within a ten-minute walk of it.
Call (215) 600-0376 and describe the water and the growth. We put you through to an independent local mold provider serving Upper Darby and Drexel Hill.

A sewer backup that filled the basement or a flat-roof leak that ran down three floors, mapped floor by floor and cleared in zones as one project.
HVAC Mold Cleaning
Coil, drain pan, and condensate line cleaned or replaced when a basement or closet air handler sweats through a humid Philadelphia summer.
Bathroom Mold Removal
Growth behind a vanity, under a tile shower, or on a ceiling with no exhaust fan in a rowhouse second-floor bath, removed with the leak fixed first.
Attic Mold Remediation
Growth on rafters and sheathing under a flat roof or a twin's slate roof, cleaned and treated once the roofing or the ventilation is corrected.
Mold Odor Removal
A musty smell in a rowhouse that looks fine, traced to a wet stone wall, a damp joist end, or the dirt under an old cellar floor, then removed and treated.
Mold Damage Repair
Plaster, drywall, baseboard, and subfloor put back after removal, once the basement reads dry and the roof, pipe, or drain that caused it is repaired.
