What this listing says
Schuylkill County homeowners dealing with water damage that has led to mold, where the Fabiani team's two-location setup in Orwigsburg means faster response across the county.
Best for
- Homeowners in Schuylkill County — from Pottsville to Tamaqua — who need mold remediation handled alongside water damage restoration under one contractor.
- Situations where mold followed a flood, pipe burst, or sewage backup and you want one company to handle extraction, drying, mold treatment, and rebuild.
About this company
SERVPRO of Pottsville is a franchise restoration company based in Orwigsburg, PA, owned by Vince Fabiani. Mold remediation is one service within a broader operation that covers water damage, fire damage, storm damage, and reconstruction. The team has served the Pottsville area for over two decades, and Fabiani brings 27 years of construction experience and 11 years in mitigation and restoration.
On the mold side, the company holds IICRC Applied Microbial Remediation Technician credentials and describes a process that includes containment, HEPA vacuums, air scrubbers, and antimicrobial treatments. They also run a contents packout and storage facility, which matters if mold has spread to belongings. The company operates from two locations in the county for faster mobilization.
Nothing about their mold-specific approach stands out as unusual for a SERVPRO franchise. The equipment and process described on their website follow the standard SERVPRO playbook. What does stand out is the water-to-mold pipeline: most of their reviewed work involves water damage that could lead to mold if untreated, and the team claims to handle the full sequence from extraction through mold prevention and reconstruction.

Review consensus
Fast response time is the most consistent theme. Andrew Olsen described a crew arriving quickly after a basement flood to extract water and remove damaged materials. Dennis Wiederhold had a septic backup and the team arrived the next day despite it being an emergency situation. Heather Henderson specifically praised Jose for responsiveness on a water damage job. Nicole Brice highlighted insurance coordination, saying the team worked with her insurer and made the process seamless. Several reviewers mention the crew explaining the process clearly, including Mia Carpenter after a pipe burst.
0 found across 20 total reviews at 4.4★. No negative reviews from the last 18 months appear in the data. Across 20 total reviews at 4.4 stars, the absence of recent complaints means there is no complaint pattern to analyze. The 4.4 rating suggests some older negative reviews exist but fall outside the 18-month window.
Nearly every detailed review describes water damage work — basement floods, pipe bursts, sewage backups — not standalone mold jobs. The mold remediation reviews on the website testimonials (Lauren I, Tina R) praise the outcome but name no staff and give no specifics about the mold process itself. If you are hiring specifically for mold, you have limited review evidence about their mold-specific performance versus their water damage work.
Jose (field crew — positive, praised by heather henderson for responsiveness on water damage). Tom (field crew — positive, praised by Diane H for efficiency). Vince Fabiani (owner — named on website, not referenced in reviews).
The review record is strong on water damage response but thin on mold-specific feedback. Ask to speak with Jose or Tom if they are still on staff, since those are the only named crew members reviewers have praised. Request references from past mold remediation customers specifically, since the reviews skew heavily toward water extraction work.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. This is a conflict of interest — the same company that finds the mold profits from removing it. Get an independent mold assessment before committing to their remediation scope.
- This is a SERVPRO franchise, not an independent mold specialist. Mold work is one offering among many, including water, fire, storm, and general cleaning. The crew handling your mold job may primarily do water damage work.
- Only 20 Google reviews total, and no negative reviews in the last 18 months. That is a thin review history for a company that has operated for over 20 years — it limits what you can learn from other customers' experiences.
- The website claims service across 10 cities spanning all of Schuylkill County. Confirm actual response time to your location before booking, especially for the more distant towns like Tamaqua or Ashland.
