Scranton’s Trusted Mold Remediation Specialists

Scranton is a city with a lot of history โ€” and a lot of older housing stock that comes with it. Victorian-era homes, century-old row houses, converted industrial buildings, and aging infrastructure throughout Lackawanna County create some of the most common conditions we see for mold growth: aging plumbing, inadequate ventilation, stone and brick foundations that allow moisture to seep in, and basements and crawl spaces that were never designed with modern moisture control in mind.

Pro Remediation Services has been removing mold from Scranton homes and businesses since 2004. We know this city, we know the housing, and we know exactly where mold likes to hide in NEPA properties. Whether you’ve spotted something suspicious, noticed a persistent musty smell, or are dealing with the aftermath of water damage, we’ll give you a clear assessment and an honest plan โ€” no pressure, no guesswork.

Why Scranton Homes Are Prone to Mold

Scranton’s geography and climate work against homeowners when it comes to moisture control. Situated in a valley surrounded by the Pocono Mountains and Endless Mountains, the city experiences high humidity in summer, heavy seasonal rainfall, and cold winters that create condensation issues throughout older building stock. Specific factors that make Lackawanna County properties especially vulnerable include:

  • Aging housing stock โ€” Much of Scranton’s residential housing predates modern vapor barriers, insulation standards, and ventilation requirements. Older foundations, brick construction, and unfinished basements are particularly susceptible to moisture intrusion.
  • Valley geography โ€” Cold air settles in Scranton’s valley location, creating temperature differentials that drive condensation on walls, windows, and within wall cavities.
  • Crawl spaces without vapor barriers โ€” Common in homes built before the 1970s throughout Lackawanna County, allowing ground moisture to rise directly into the structure.
  • Flat or low-slope roofs on older commercial buildings and row homes that are prone to pooling and leakage.
  • Converted industrial and commercial spaces that were not originally designed for residential use often have hidden moisture issues behind original walls and floors.

If your Scranton property has experienced any water intrusion โ€” even years ago โ€” mold may already be present.


Our Mold Remediation Services in Scranton

Pro Remediation Services provides comprehensive mold and indoor air quality services to residential and commercial clients throughout Scranton and Lackawanna County:

Mold Inspection & Testing

We use advanced moisture detection equipment to locate mold at the source โ€” including hidden growth inside walls, under flooring, and in crawl spaces. Air and surface sampling identifies mold type and concentration so you know exactly what you’re dealing with.

Mold Remediation & Removal

Our certified technicians remove mold using industry-standard containment protocols that prevent cross-contamination during the process. We treat the source, not just the surface โ€” so the problem doesn’t come back.

Attic Mold Removal

Attic mold is one of the most common issues we find in Scranton homes. Poor roof ventilation, bathroom exhaust fans that vent into the attic instead of outside, and ice damming in winter all create ideal conditions for mold to grow silently above your ceiling. We remove the mold and correct the underlying ventilation issues that caused it.

Crawl Space & Basement Mold Remediation

Scranton’s older homes frequently have unfinished basements and crawl spaces with bare dirt floors and no vapor barriers โ€” among the most mold-prone environments we encounter. We remediate existing mold and can recommend encapsulation solutions to prevent recurrence.

Black Mold Removal

Including investigations and treatment for black mold in new and existing construction. We identify the moisture source, contain the affected area, and remove black mold safely and completely.

Indoor Air Quality Testing

Not sure if you have a mold problem? Air quality testing gives you concrete data on what’s in the air your family is breathing โ€” with a clear explanation of results and what, if anything, needs to be done.

Water Damage Cleanup

Fast response to water intrusion events before mold has a chance to take hold. We dry, clean, and assess affected areas to prevent secondary mold growth.

Commercial Mold Remediation

We work with property managers, landlords, schools, and business owners throughout Lackawanna County. We provide full documentation for insurance and compliance purposes and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your operations.


Our Lifetime Warranty โ€” What It Means for You

We stand behind our work with a lifetime warranty on mold remediation services. If mold returns to an area we’ve treated due to our remediation process, we’ll come back and address it at no charge.

We’re confident enough in our methods to make that commitment โ€” and we think you deserve that peace of mind when you’re investing in protecting your home and family.

Note: The warranty covers remediation workmanship. New mold resulting from a new, unrelated moisture source โ€” such as a new roof leak or plumbing failure โ€” would require a new assessment.

What is mold?

Mold is a living organism (fungi) that needs moisture, air, and a
food source to grow. Mold spores can be found throughout the air and
reproduce easily. When visible mold growth is found inside a home,
interior air mold levels typically rise and can cause adverse effects
to humans and pets. If you suspect your Scranton home has mold, a
professional inspection including a Moisture Intrusion Evaluation is
strongly recommended.

Is mold dangerous?

Airborne and surface mold spores can cause allergic and respiratory
issues. Some people are more susceptible to mold exposure than others
due to underlying medical conditions. If anyone in your household is
experiencing unexplained allergy symptoms, headaches, or respiratory
issues, elevated indoor mold levels may be a contributing factor.

Is mold removal expensive?

It depends on the size of the job and the areas affected. A smaller
job of a few square feet can generally be handled without professional
assistance (as noted in the US EPA Guide to Mold). Once you go beyond
the smaller jobs, there is a wide range of possible costs based upon
the work required. Situations involving cleaning are generally less
costly than those requiring removal of walls, carpeting, or other
porous materials contaminated with active mold growth. Contact Ace

How did mold get in my Scranton home?

The most common causes of mold in Scranton homes are crawl space
moisture from groundwater and seasonal humidity, roof leaks, plumbing
leaks, and inadequate attic ventilation. Scranton's warm, humid
summers accelerate mold growth once a moisture source is present;
this is why it's important to have the moisture source identified
and corrected as part of any mold remediation, not just the visible
mold itself.
