FAQ
What are mold removal and mold remediation?

Are landlords responsible for removing mold in PA?
Who pays to remove mold in Pennsylvania? Well, it depends what happened.
Landlords are responsible for addressing mold in a rental dwelling – buildings in Philadelphia have a “warranty of hability” clause, meaning they must be fit to live in. There are various requirements to conduct regular inspections and repairs as well as give disclosure notices.
The exception is unless the mold is due to direct negligence on the part of the tenant, or their failure to report known mold problems or a condition that would be expected to lead to mold growth, such as a water leak. In such a case, the tenant would be at fault and responsible for damages.
Normal homeowners and landlords insurance may cover mold, but you should check for a fungi exclusion clause and coverage limits. Accidents and natural disasters (like mold as a result of a flood) may be covered under special insurance.
Regardless, if the tenant was not directly responsible for the mold or conditions leading to it, and they duly reported such to the property manager or owner, then it is the landlord’s duty to fix the mold.
Why should I remediate mold?
Some strains of mold are toxic to humans, and none are good for your respiratory health. Mold exposure is linked to increased risk of certain illnesses, especially over long periods.
For homeowners, it’s important to understand that mold spreads quickly and can lead to serious structural damage to buildings. If you experience water damage and the material is not thoroughly dry within 24-48 hours, it’s very likely that mold will begin to develop and infest your property.
If you are a landlord, you will be issued violations and fines by relevant authorities such as HPD if your tenant reports a mold problem that you are aware of, in addition to being subject to tenant complaints. If you are a tenant, you may be able to seek legal recourse against a negligent landlord who will not take action about mold infestations.
As a business owner, you’re obligated to keep your commercial space up to code.
How long does mold removal take?
This depends on the size and severity of your mold issue, which affects the tools and technicians we will need. For most residential projects, we can complete the job within as little as a few hours. Large, complex cases usually do not take more than a few days.
How long do I have to remediate mold?
When it comes to mold, remediate it as soon as possible. It’s simply not worth the risk of continued, progressive damage to your property and personal health.
