Professional Mold Removal - Done the Right Way, Step by Step
Each stage is performed by the independent remediation contractor the call reaches, following industry standards.
-
Step 1: Assessment
An assessor identifies the presence of mold, determines how far the growth extends, and locates the source of moisture.
-
Step 2: Containment
Protective barriers and negative air pressure are established to prevent spores from spreading into unaffected areas.
-
Step 3: Removal
Porous materials that cannot be safely cleaned are removed — including drywall past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, and damaged cabinet bases.
-
Step 4: Drying
Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers return the structure to a dry standard, with moisture readings taken from the material itself rather than the surface.
What drives moisture problems in Shillington
The Shillington area independent local pros cover for mold removal takes in the whole city and the streets around it. This is a small borough in the Schuylkill valley where nearly all the housing predates 1990 and the median construction year sits in the early 1940s.
Housing stock
Of roughly 2,292 housing units, about 2,265 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1943. Brick rowhouses and twins on stone and early block cellars, a median year of 1943, and 98.8 percent of units standing before 1990.
Climate and water risk
The nearest long-term record — READING 3.5 SW, 1.5 miles out — puts the annual normal at 51.93 inches, with June heaviest at 5.6. June leads at 5.6 inches of a 51.93 inch year, arriving as early-summer convection on valley ground below the ridges. The borough sits low in the valley, so water moving off the higher ground around it arrives here after passing through soil rather than over it.
Common moisture and mold problems in Shillington
- Valley-bottom position receiving ground water from higher ground on several sides
- Pre-war stone and early block cellars with no damp course and no drain tile
- Rowhouse and twin construction on continuous footings across whole blocks
- Nearly 99 percent pre-1990 stock, so almost nothing here has modern foundation drainage

Frequently asked questions
Almost every house here is old. Is a dry cellar realistic?
Realistic, yes; original, no. Cellars from this era were built to be damp and to dry themselves, with no damp course and no drainage at the footing. That means the goal is managing water rather than excluding it: keeping surface water away from the walls, giving what arrives a drained exit, and not sealing the masonry so tightly that it cannot release what it takes on.
The cellar is dry in a dry month and wet a day after rain. Is that a leak?
More often it is the position. Sitting low in a valley means water from higher ground arrives through the soil, and that takes about a day. A quick response after rain with a slow recovery afterwards fits ground water arriving laterally. A plumbing leak would not track rainfall at all, and roof water entry would appear during the storm rather than after it.
Does the fact that these are twins and rows matter?
Yes, for the same reason it does in any terrace: the footing and the ground beneath run continuously under several houses. Water does not respect the property line, so a cellar can be taking water that entered under a neighbor. Addressing one house in isolation can push the problem sideways rather than solve it, and coordinated work usually goes further.
