## Services

The following 9 services are offered across the listed service areas, subject to the property's inspection and written scope.

- [Mold Inspection Gettysburg PA](https://gettysburgmoldremediationpros.com/mold-inspection-testing-gettysburg-pa/): Visual inspection, moisture mapping, thermal imaging, and air or surface sampling. The point is to find the moisture source before any remediation starts.
- [Black Mold Removal Gettysburg PA](https://gettysburgmoldremediationpros.com/black-mold-removal-gettysburg-pa/): Containment, HEPA air scrubbing, and removal of Stachybotrys-stained drywall, trim, and insulation. Work is done under negative pressure and ends with a clearance check.
- [Basement Mold Remediation Gettysburg PA](https://gettysburgmoldremediationpros.com/basement-mold-remediation-gettysburg-pa/): Stone and block foundation walls, finished basements, and sill plates. Removal is paired with dehumidification, because cleaning alone will not hold in a damp basement.
- [Attic Mold Remediation Gettysburg PA](https://gettysburgmoldremediationpros.com/attic-mold-remediation-gettysburg-pa/): Roof sheathing, rafters, and insulation cleaned by HEPA vacuuming, wire brushing, or soda blasting. Every job includes a ventilation review, since blocked soffits are usually the reason it grew.
- [Bathroom Mold Removal Gettysburg PA](https://gettysburgmoldremediationpros.com/bathroom-kitchen-mold-removal-gettysburg-pa/): Shower walls, ceilings above tubs, grout, caulk, and sink cabinets with slow leaks. Exhaust fan output and the leak behind the cabinet get checked too, not just the surface.

- [Air Duct Mold Cleaning Gettysburg PA](https://gettysburgmoldremediationpros.com/hvac-air-duct-mold-cleaning-gettysburg-pa/): Supply and return ducts, air handlers, and evaporator coils cleaned under negative pressure. That musty smell when the AC kicks on usually comes from the coil, not the rooms.
- [Commercial Mold Remediation Gettysburg PA](https://gettysburgmoldremediationpros.com/commercial-mold-remediation-gettysburg-pa/): Offices, rental units, B&Bs, churches, and historic downtown buildings. Work is phased around business hours and tenants so the building keeps operating.
