If your basement feels damp or smells earthy and musty, it may already have a mold problem. In Lackawanna County, older foundations, steep terrain, and heavy rainfall all contribute to basement moisture — the perfect recipe for mold.
Whether you’re in Scranton, Clarks Summit, or Old Forge, Basement Waterproofing Specialists can help you eliminate mold safely and permanently.
Why Mold Grows So Easily in Lackawanna County Basements
Basement mold starts wherever moisture lingers. Unfortunately, many homes in northeastern Pennsylvania were built before modern waterproofing systems existed.
Common causes include:
💧 Cracks in walls or floor slabs
🌧 Groundwater seepage and storm runoff
🚰 Leaky pipes or water heaters
🌫 Poor air flow and trapped humidity
🧱 Worn-out waterproofing coatings or sump systems
Mold can start to grow in as little as 48 hours once moisture enters.
