Professional Mold Removal - Done the Right Way, Step by Step
Each stage is performed by the independent remediation contractor the call reaches, following industry standards.
-
Step 1: Assessment
An assessor identifies the presence of mold, determines how far the growth extends, and locates the source of moisture.
-
Step 2: Containment
Protective barriers and negative air pressure are established to prevent spores from spreading into unaffected areas.
-
Step 3: Removal
Porous materials that cannot be safely cleaned are removed — including drywall past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, and damaged cabinet bases.
-
Step 4: Drying
Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers return the structure to a dry standard, with moisture readings taken from the material itself rather than the surface.
What drives moisture problems in Allentown
Independent local pros provide mold removal services in Allentown and the surrounding area, including Fairview, West Walnut, and Franklin Park. The Lehigh Valley sits on carbonate rock, and sinkholes here open often enough that the city tracks them as an infrastructure problem rather than a curiosity.
Housing stock
Of roughly 49,502 housing units, about 43,042 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1952. Dense rowhouse and twin construction predominates with a median build year of 1952, built close together on limestone and dolomite bedrock.
Climate and water risk
Allentown averages 47.36 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at ALLENTOWN INTL AP 4.2 miles away, with July the wettest month at 5.3 inches. July leads at 5.3 inches, and where that water goes underground is the local question. Carbonate rock dissolves along joints over time, and concentrated discharge from a broken lateral or a downspout accelerates it far faster than rainfall spread across a lawn ever would.
Common moisture and mold problems in Allentown
- Carbonate bedrock where a leaking pipe can enlarge a void faster than any natural process
- Sinkholes opening under streets and yards with little surface warning beforehand
- Continuous rowhouse construction carrying one roof or party-wall failure into several homes
- Dense blocks with almost no permeable ground, so nearly all rainfall becomes runoff

Frequently asked questions
Can a plumbing leak really cause a sinkhole?
On this bedrock it is one of the common triggers. Carbonate rock dissolves where water moves through it, and a broken lateral delivers a steady concentrated stream to one spot for months. That does in a season what diffuse rainfall would take a very long time to do.
Is there any warning before ground opens up?
Sometimes, and it is worth knowing the signs: a depression that keeps reappearing after being filled, pavement that cracks in a rough circle, a downspout outfall that drains faster than it used to, doors that stop closing squarely. None are proof, but together they justify a look.
My roof is fine but my ceiling is stained. How?
Rowhouse roofs are one continuous plane across several properties and party walls are shared structure, so water entering at a neighboring address travels along framing and emerges in yours. Sorting out where it started usually has to happen before anyone can sensibly repair anything.
