What a licensed remediation job actually involves, in the order it happens. Every step below is the contractor's work, not ours.
-
Step 1: Assessment
A licensed assessor establishes whether there is growth, how far it extends, and where the moisture is coming from.
-
Step 2: Containment
Barriers and negative air pressure go up first, so disturbing material does not move spores into clean rooms.
-
Step 3: Removal
Porous material that cannot be cleaned comes out - drywall cut past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, cabinet bases.
-
Step 4: Drying
Dehumidifiers and air movers bring the structure back to a dry standard, with readings logged from the material rather than the surface.
What drives moisture problems in Wilkes-Barre
Our local pros provide mold removal services in Wilkes-Barre and the surrounding area, including East End, North End, and Mayflower. The Susquehanna's Wyoming Valley sits on drowned anthracite workings, and the 1972 Agnes dike still holds a river against mine-cave streets that pond when the pumps stop.
Housing stock
Of roughly 19,781 housing units, about 17,873 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1943. A 1943 median is double-block and wood on full basements, 90 percent pre-1990. Flats sit on culm and cave-in fill; the benches sit on solid measures. The flats take the river and the caves. The benches take September rain as seepage from the stripped slope.
Climate and water risk
September alone accounts for 10.4 percent of the 45.37 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 3.4 miles away at FORTY FORT 0.4 NNE. September's 4.72 inches is the peak of a 45-inch year, the remnant month. On cave-in streets that rain has no natural fall; it fills the workings until the pumps move it, and a 1943 cellar takes Susquehanna water through culm while the dike still looks high enough.
Common moisture and mold problems in Wilkes-Barre
- Anthracite cave-ins under Wyoming Valley streets ponding September remnants in 1943 cellars
- Agnes-era dikes holding the Susquehanna so ordinary rain has no fall off the flats
- Culm banks shedding acidic seepage into double-block basements along the benches
- Mine-water pumps cycling so a dry week can still wet a cellar when a pump is down

Frequently asked questions
Beckley also sits on coal. Why is this valley a different mine story?
Beckley is a plateau of ponded subsidences. This is a river valley of drowned anthracite, a 1972 dike, and pumps. September rain here fails as mine water on the flats, not as a dip on a plateau. Same industry, different hydrology.
The dike is holding. Why is the cellar still wet?
The dike holds the river in the channel; it does not drain the workings. Cave-in streets pond until the pumps move the water, and a 1943 cellar is a hole in that pond. A high dike and a wet cellar are not a contradiction here.
A bench house above the flats. Is Agnes still the diagnosis?
Usually not. Benches take seepage from culm and stripped slopes. The dike is a flats story. Opening a bench cellar and looking for a river stain will miss the bank of waste rock uphill, which is the local source on those streets.
