We Treat Your Home Like Our Own

Basements and crawl spaces in York often create the perfect environment for biological growth due to limited ventilation, darkness, and persistent moisture. Growth may appear as dark or light discoloration on walls, floors, or framing, or it may remain hidden behind finished walls or under carpeting. Even when it’s not visible, many York homeowners first notice the issue through a lingering musty smell.
If left untreated, biological growth can impact indoor air quality and damage common basement materials, including drywall, wood framing, HVAC components, pipes, and stored belongings.

Heavy rainfall, groundwater intrusion, and plumbing leaks are common causes of biological growth in York basements, particularly in homes near Codorus Creek or lower-lying areas. Porous materials like drywall and insulation absorb moisture quickly, creating ideal conditions for growth. Wood framing, subflooring, and furniture are also at risk if moisture issues are not addressed properly.
Carpeting and padding are especially difficult to dry after a basement flood or water intrusion event. Even once standing water is removed, biological growth can continue spreading beneath surfaces. The EPA recommends contacting a professional if growth affects more than 10 square feet—our team is ready to help eliminate biological growth for good.
