What Makes Scranton and Wilkes-Barre Different
Scranton and Wilkes-Barre sit in the valleys of the Lackawanna and Susquehanna rivers. Hurricane Agnes in 1972 flooded much of the Wyoming Valley, and levees now protect Wilkes-Barre and the towns along the river. Heavy rain still floods creeks and low streets, and floodwater from outside is contaminated. A standard homeowners policy does not cover it.
This is old coal country, and many homes sit above abandoned underground mines. Ground can sink and crack foundations, walls and pipes. Pennsylvania offers mine subsidence insurance through the state, so ask about it if you own a home here. Much of the housing is old, including doubles and wood frame homes built long before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before you tear anything out.
Winters bring heavy snow, ice dams and frozen pipes, and the leak usually shows up when things warm up. Most homes have stone or block basements that seep in wet seasons. A sump pump and a dehumidifier prevent a lot of damage.

Checking a License in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre
Pennsylvania requires home improvement contractors to register with the state Attorney General’s office. Ask for the registration number and look it up before you sign. Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and many boroughs and townships also require local licensing or permits, so check with your municipality. Pennsylvania has no state mold license. Ask for proof of liability insurance and whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage or mold remediation. For homes built before 1978, ask whether the crew is certified for lead safe renovation.
