Reading homeowners know how damp Pennsylvania basements can be, especially in older properties with stone or brick foundations. Because these materials absorb moisture, dampness often lingers year-round. As a result, mold can develop quickly and spread through walls, floors, and hidden spaces. Over time, this growth can damage your home and negatively impact indoor air quality.
Why Reading Homes Are Prone to Mold
Reading’s age, geography, and local weather patterns combine to create ideal conditions for mold growth. Because of this, basement moisture problems are especially common throughout the area.
Typically, mold issues are caused by:
💦 Water seepage through walls or floors
🌧 Roof or gutter leaks draining into basements
🚰 Plumbing leaks or broken sump pumps
🌫 Poor airflow and trapped humidity
🧱 Deteriorating foundation sealants
When moisture isn’t addressed, mold spores can take hold. In fact, growth often begins within 24 to 48 hours under the right conditions.
Our Mold Remediation Process
At Basement Waterproofing Specialists, we don’t just kill mold. Instead, we remove it safely and eliminate the moisture problem permanently.
Our proven process includes:
1. Inspect and test for moisture
2. Contain affected areas
3. Remove and treat mold with antimicrobial solutions
4. Repair foundation leaks or drainage problems
5. Install dehumidifiers or sump pumps to prevent regrowth
By following this approach, we solve the problem at its source. Simply put, we fix the cause—not just the symptom.
