About this company
SERVPRO of Southern Blair and Bedford County is a franchise restoration operation co-owned by Benjamin J. Weaver and Jeffrey J. Kuncelman, serving Bedford County, Blair County, Huntingdon County, and Indiana County in central Pennsylvania. Mold remediation is one service within a much broader operation covering water damage, fire damage, storm recovery, sewage cleanup, and full reconstruction. Their primary identity is as a general restoration company, not a mold specialist.
The mold remediation page describes a seven-step process: emergency contact, inspection, containment, air filtration using air scrubbers and HEPA vacuums, removal of mold-infested materials with antimicrobial treatments, cleaning of structural elements, and restoration including drywall and flooring replacement. They hold a Pennsylvania General Contractor License (PA094513) and state that all technicians must be IICRC trained. The franchise also handles reconstruction after remediation, so they can take a job from water extraction through drywall replacement without subcontracting.
The company brands itself as "SERVPRO Team Weaver" and has been active in disaster response beyond its service area, with one reviewer noting the team traveled to Texas after Hurricane Harvey. Reviews span residential basements, commercial buildings, and multi-month restoration projects. Multiple reviewers mention the franchise handling insurance communications directly, which several describe as a significant relief.
A 4.9-star rating with 37 reviews and zero negative reviews in the recent 18-month window is an unusually clean record. The review volume is modest, but every single review with text is positive. Multiple Local Guide reviewers (who tend to have more review history) are among the satisfied customers.

A cluster of five-star reviews from June 2023 come from insurance industry professionals who attended CE courses hosted by the franchise, not from restoration customers. These reviews praise the educational value but do not reflect the quality of restoration work. Excluding those, the review base from actual customers is smaller than the total count suggests.

With zero negative reviews in the recent window, there are no complaint patterns to watch for. The review record is clean but thin. Ask for Chuck or Josh by name when you call for water or mold work. Get an independent mold test before signing a remediation contract, since they do both testing and remediation.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. That creates a conflict of interest: the company identifying your mold problem is also the one billing to fix it. Get an independent mold assessment before committing to remediation.
- This is a general restoration franchise, not a mold-focused firm. Mold work is one piece of a much larger operation. If you have a complex mold situation, ask specifically about their mold remediation crew and what containment setup they use.
- The review count is modest at 37. A 4.9 rating on that volume tells you less than the same rating on 200+ reviews.
- The service area spans multiple counties across central Pennsylvania. Confirm response time and availability if your property is far from their base in the Huntingdon/Bedford area.
- Several reviews are from insurance industry professionals attending CE courses hosted by SERVPRO, not from customers who hired them for restoration work.
