If you’ve spotted dark stains on your basement walls, smelled that damp, musty odor, or noticed your allergies getting worse indoors — it’s time to take a closer look. In Norristown, PA, basement mold is one of the most common and persistent home problems, especially in older homes near the Schuylkill River and surrounding low-lying areas.
The good news is that with proper remediation and waterproofing, you can eliminate mold safely and permanently.
Why Mold Is So Common in Norristown Basements
Norristown has a high number of older rowhomes and stone foundations — charming, but often vulnerable to water intrusion. Add in the area’s high humidity, frequent rainfall, and occasional flooding, and basements become the perfect environment for mold to grow.
The main causes we see include:
💧 Water seeping through foundation cracks or joints
🌧 Flooding after heavy storms
🚿 Leaky plumbing or sump pump failures
🌫 Poor ventilation or humidity above 60%
🧱 Aging waterproofing systems that no longer protect properly
Once mold starts growing, it doesn’t stop until both the mold and the moisture source are treated.
Our Proven Mold Remediation Process
At Basement Waterproofing Specialists, we’ve been helping Norristown homeowners stay mold-free for over four generations. Our process is designed to remove mold safely and keep it from returning.
Here’s how it works:
1. Inspection & Moisture Mapping – We locate every source of water intrusion.
2. Containment – Isolating affected areas to prevent spore spread.
3. Mold Removal – Using advanced HEPA filtration and professional antimicrobial treatments.
4. Foundation Waterproofing – Installing or repairing drainage systems, sump pumps, and vapor barriers.
5. Prevention – Dehumidifiers and air control systems maintain long-term protection.
