If your basement smells musty, feels damp, or shows dark streaks on the walls, mold could already be forming. In Wilkes-Barre, homes near the Susquehanna River and areas prone to frequent storms are especially vulnerable. Even small cracks or leaks can allow humidity and water to collect, creating the perfect environment for mold.
Why Mold Grows in Wilkes-Barre Basements
Because of the city’s high groundwater levels and seasonal flooding, basement moisture is a common problem. As a result, mold growth often occurs quickly if left untreated.
Some of the most common causes include:
💧 Groundwater seepage through foundation cracks
🌧 Flooding from rain or snow runoff
🚰 Leaky plumbing or sump pump failure
🌫 Poor air circulation
🧱 Aging waterproofing or drainage systems
Even minor moisture problems, when ignored, can lead to major mold growth within 48 hours.
Our Mold Removal & Prevention Process
At Basement Waterproofing Specialists, we don’t just remove mold — instead, we address the source to prevent it from returning.
Our 5-step process includes:
1. Moisture and mold inspection
2. Containment and air filtration
3. Safe mold removal and surface treatment
4. Foundation waterproofing and repair
5. Humidity management and monitoring
By tackling both the mold and underlying moisture, we ensure your basement stays safe and dry long-term.
