We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
Friendly staff answered all my questions about mold spores and health risks. The removal itself was quick.

Local knowledge
Mold Inspection for South Berwick, ME homes
Mold Inspection in South Berwick tends to start the same way mold does across York County: heavy rain and seasonal flooding pushing water toward foundations and crawl spaces. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Berwick, Eliot, North Berwick and the rest of South Berwick call us.
We handle mold inspection for South Berwick the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in York, about 15 minutes from our York base, so we can usually reach a South Berwick home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
South Berwick specifics
Why South Berwick homes need Mold Inspection
Mold Inspection is one of the more common calls we get from homeowners around South Berwick. The reason Mold Inspection comes up so often here is simple: air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls, working on local homes month after month.

By the time a family calls us for Mold Inspection, they have usually already seen a damp, earthy smell you cannot place.
Our crew has done Mold Inspection across York County enough to know how plumbing leaks and poor ventilation moves through these homes. Most Mold Inspection jobs in the area trace back to air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls, a pattern we see week after week. We keep Mold Inspection contained and tidy, so the rest of the home near Ogunquit stays livable while we work. When people here search for Mold Inspection, the growth they can see is usually the last symptom, not the cause.
Here is how Mold Inspection usually goes:
- Photograph and map what we find, room by room
