About Wilkes-Barre, PA
Wilkes Barre has been the birthplace of such noted companies as Lion Brewery, Inc., which is the oldest brewery still operating in PA. Planters Peanut Company, home of the monocle-wearing mascot Mr. Peanut, was started by two Italian immigrants in Wilkes Barre in 1906.
Wilkes Barre encompasses 18 ZIP codes: 18701, 18702, 18703, 18704, 18705, 18706, 18707, 18708, 18709, 18710, 18711, 18762, 18764, 18765, 18766, 18767, 18769, and 18773.
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 Wilkes-Barre home has mold, a professional inspection including a Moisture Intrusion Evaluation is strongly recommended.
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.
It depends, of course, upon 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), so the only expense involved there is the cleaning supplies and PPE (such as rubber gloves and masks). Once you go beyond the smaller jobs, there is a wide range of possible costs based upon work required. If porous components like drywall are contaminated with active growth, then removal and disposal are required. However, situations that involve cleaning generally involve lower costs than ones that require removal of walls, carpeting, etc.
Wilkes-Barre sits on the floor of the Wyoming Valley alongside the Susquehanna River, making it one of the most flood-prone cities in Pennsylvania. The area experienced major flooding events in 1972 (Hurricane Agnes) and 2011 (Tropical Storm Lee), and homes throughout the valley have a higher-than-average risk of basement and crawl space water intrusion. Even in dry years, the valley’s geography traps humidity, and the area’s many older homes with stone and block foundations are particularly vulnerable
to moisture-driven mold growth.
