Have a Mold Problem?
Mold is present everywhere and a needed organism for the environment. However, elevated levels of spores can cause health issues for individuals whom are sensitive to it. For mold to exist and become problematic, a moisture issue must be present. Since mold is a living organism it requires a feeding source to survive such as sheet rock, wood, cardboard or any porous organic materials. Moisture (and oxygen) is the essential element for mold to thrive. Darkness and lack of air flow also help. This is one reason many individuals discover mold in their basements since they are often damp and dark.
The only definitive way to know if mold exits, and to what strains/types of spores are present and to what levels; is to conduct air quality testing. These test are relatively inexpensive, quickly conducted and non-obtrusive to the homeowner or business. Once the results are confirmed, SERVPRO of Wayne and South Lackawanna can create a mold remediation plan. Knowing how and why the issue occurred is paramount and our mold experts will diagnosis the problem. We have the specialized training and equipment to remediate any size mold infestation.
If you suspect mold (smell a musty odor, see visible dis-colorization or have experienced water issues) in your home or business call us for your personalized remediation plan including air quality testing at 570-235-1646.
What Is the Mold Remediation Process?
Air Filtration
Our specialized filtration equipment allows our professionals to capture microscopic mold spores out of the air. We utilize powerful “air scrubbers” and HEPA vacuums to prevent the spread of these mold spores while the mold remediation is in process.
Removing Mold and Mold-Infested Materials
We use antifungal and antimicrobial treatments to treat mold colonies. When necessary to remediate heavy mold growth, our mold removal process includes the removal and disposal of mold-infested porous materials such as carpeting, drywall, and insulation.
Cleaning
Our professionals clean the structural elements that were infected by mold such as flooring, framing, fixtures, HVAC and mechanical systems. We will also work to improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) of the space. Other items may also require extra attention after a mold infestation, including curtains, décor and important documents.
Restoration
Depending on the level of mold damage, drywall, subfloors, and other building materials may be removed. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall, painting, and installing new carpet. It may entail major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in your home.
Emergency Contact
The mold cleanup and restoration process begins when you call us. Our specialist will ask a series of questions to help us determine the necessary equipment, resources, and personnel needed for you and your home.
Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
Our professionals will carefully inspect your property for visible signs of mold. Using a variety of technologies, we can detect mold and locate any hidden water sources so the mold will not return once the area is cleaned and the mold removal process has been completed.
Mold Containment
We use various containment procedures to prevent the spread and cross-contamination of mold. All fans and heating and cooling systems will be turned off to prevent the spread as our professionals work to mitigate your mold problem.

What our
customers are saying
You just finished clean up after our sewer line overflowed into our 1/2 bathroom and family room. I wanted to compliment the folks you sent to help do the demo, clean up, and dry out of the space. They were a friendly hardworking group who were also understanding and accommodating of my allergy issues that could have been triggered by some of the clean up process. Chris headed up the job and was especially patient with my questions and explaining the process. I was having difficulty finding a local contractor who does concrete polishing and Chris also shared a contact for a contractor I wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. Thanks for being there and doing what you do to make an unfortunate situation better.
SERVPRO Rocks!!! I have a rental in Scranton and the pipes in my laundry room froze and burst causing a good amount of damage. I called Nick and he came out the same day, quoted me and started the job immediately. Which I believe saved me from further water damage. He gave me a time frame, in which I could expect the job to be started and completed. I was absolutely impressed, he was right on target! He communicated with me through the process and never left me wondering. Work was done to perfection! The office staff was fantastic to deal with, very professional and efficient. I would recommend SERVPRO to anyone and everyone!!! You guys are the best!!
Blessed. In a word , this is the feeling of myself and my co-workers over the services provided by SERVPRO and their team! Without the quick response, no limits mindset, and professionalism, we would have never been able to serve our customers without disruption like we did. In a matter of a few hours SERVPRO had its team of professionals here and spent tremendous care with the delicate nature of the job we do! No stone was left unturned in making sure every one of our needs were met! kudos TO the entire team, START TO FINISH!
I had a pipe burst at a rental property. I contacted SERVPRO to help fix the problem. I talked with Kevin, the owner. He was very helpful and professional. He and his staff were quick to respond, they were very courteous, and addressed my problem with complete professionalism. I highly recommend this great outfit and will use them again should a similar situation arise."
As a facility manager for a local manufacturing facility, SERVPRO came a did a high ceiling/top down clean of our plant. They worked weekends and accommodated our plant schedule. Highly recommend.
After a minor dishwasher leak turned into a more significant problem, SERVPRO was there the next morning after we contacted our insurance agency and spent several days ensuring that our kitchen and basement did not receive any ill effects from the water damage. The quick response saved us from damage that would have cost considerably more to repair. As it is, the laminate floor was too far gone but the subfloor is totally intact and we had our new floor laid with about 8 hours of work from another contractor. I am very pleased with the work, speed and professionalism of the SERVPRO employees.
SERVPRO worked tirelessly repairing our summer home after a pipe broke. They did a great job and responded in a fast manner. I'm glad I called them.

SERVPRO was amazing to work with. They were so quick and helpful during a devastating time. I know that they were extremely busy due to the recent cold weather, but still managed to be very attentive to my specific damage. I would highly recommend using SERVPRO if you ever, unfortunately, encounter a need for them. A big thanks to Nick and his crew for all their kindness and help!!
