Professional Mold Removal and Remediation in the Lehigh Valley
Mold is not a cosmetic problem. Left untreated, mold spreads through walls, ceilings, and HVAC systems — and certain species produce mycotoxins that affect indoor air quality. Lehigh Valley Restoration provides professional mold remediation throughout Lehigh and Northampton counties, following industry-standard containment and removal protocols.
We do not spray paint over mold or wipe it down and call it done. Proper remediation means identifying the moisture source, removing all affected materials, cleaning and treating surfaces, and verifying clearance with post-remediation testing.
Signs You May Have a Mold Problem
- Visible mold growth — black, green, white, or gray patches on walls, ceilings, or floors
- Musty odor — especially in basements, crawl spaces, and bathrooms
- Recent water damage — mold can establish in as little as 24 to 48 hours after water intrusion
- Persistent allergy-like symptoms — runny nose, sneezing, coughing, or eye irritation that improves when you leave the house
- Staining or discoloration — water stains that may indicate hidden moisture
Our Mold Remediation Process
- Inspection and testing — identify mold type, extent, and the moisture source driving growth
- Containment — negative air pressure and physical barriers prevent cross-contamination to unaffected areas
- HEPA filtration — air scrubbers filter mold spores from the air during removal
- Removal — affected drywall, insulation, and building materials are bagged and removed
- Surface treatment — structural surfaces are cleaned and treated with antimicrobial agents
- Post-remediation verification — clearance testing confirms mold levels have returned to normal
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between mold removal and mold remediation?
Mold removal refers to physically removing visible mold. Mold remediation is the complete process — identifying the moisture source, removing affected materials, cleaning surfaces, and verifying that mold levels in the air and on surfaces have returned to normal. We perform full remediation, not just surface removal.
Does insurance cover mold remediation in Pennsylvania?
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of the mold. Mold resulting from a covered water event — like a burst pipe — is typically covered. Mold from long-term neglect or flooding typically is not. We help you document the cause and work with your insurer.
Can I stay in my home during mold remediation?
In many cases yes, provided the mold is contained to one area and HEPA filtration is running. For large-scale infestations or mold in the HVAC system, temporary relocation is recommended. We assess this during the initial inspection.
Will the mold come back after remediation?
Mold returns only if the moisture source returns. Proper remediation eliminates the existing mold — but permanently fixing the moisture problem (a leaking pipe, poor drainage, inadequate ventilation) is essential to preventing recurrence. We identify and document the moisture source as part of every job.
