Mold Removal Protects Against The Biological Growth That Threatens Your Health And Compromises Your Air Quality.

Basement Mold Removal & Prevention

We specialize in basement and crawl space biological growth removal and prevention for homeowners throughout Scranton, PA, including neighborhoods like Green Ridge, Hill Section, Dunmore, and areas near Nay Aug Park. Our team understands how Northeastern Pennsylvania’s older housing stock, stone foundations, and seasonal moisture contribute to recurring biological growth. By identifying and correcting the underlying moisture source, we help eliminate musty odors and prevent biological growth from returning. Contact us today to schedule a free in-home assessment.

Basements and crawl spaces in Scranton often create ideal conditions for biological growth due to limited ventilation, darkness, and persistent moisture. Growth may appear as discoloration on basement walls or floors, or remain hidden behind finished walls, insulation, or carpeting. Many homeowners first notice a lingering musty smell before seeing visible signs of growth.

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.

What Causes Biological Growth?

Heavy rainfall, snowmelt, groundwater intrusion, and plumbing leaks are common causes of biological growth in Scranton basements, especially in hillside neighborhoods. Porous materials like drywall and insulation absorb moisture quickly and create conditions where growth can spread. Wood framing, subflooring, and furniture are also at risk if moisture problems are not addressed.

Carpeting and padding are especially difficult to fully dry after flooding or water intrusion events. Even after visible water is removed, biological growth can continue spreading beneath surfaces. The EPA recommends professional remediation when growth exceeds 10 square feet—our team is ready to help eliminate biological growth for good.

Mold Removal & Biological Growth Prevention FAQs

What causes biological growth in basements and crawl spaces?

Excess moisture, warm temperatures, and organic surfaces. Local humidity and seasonal rains can exacerbate it.

What’s the long-term prevention plan?

Manage water (drainage/sump), isolate ground moisture (vapor barrier), seal pathways, and control humidity with a properly sized dehumidifier.

Do you “treat” existing growth?

We address moisture first, then follow appropriate surface cleaning/encapsulation steps. Your proposal outlines the safe, recommended approach.

How long does installation take?

Often 1–2 days, depending on space size and whether drainage or structural work is included.

Is it warrantied?

Moisture-control systems and equipment have clear warranty terms; we review coverage with your estimate.

How do I know if I need foundation repair?

Common signs include cracks in walls or floors, sticking doors or windows, and uneven floors. If you notice these issues, schedule a free inspection to identify the cause and recommended solution.

How long does a typical repair take?

Most projects can be completed in a few days. The exact timeline depends on the severity of the issue and the type of repair. Our team will give you a clear timeline during your consultation.
