About Us: The NEPA Environmental Difference in Restoration
See why NEPA Environmental leads Hawley, PA: safety-first, lab-based mold remediation and water mitigation, delivered with unmatched local expertise and honest, reliable service.
Our Story
How NEPA Environmental Became Hawley’s Trusted Restoration Partner
NEPA Environmental’s story began in 2017, when Russell Carpino—Federal and State Accredited Asbestos Supervisor—founded a restoration company built on genuine technical rigor. After relocating from New York to Hawley, Pennsylvania, Russell saw that most restoration companies relied on generic treatments and rushed demolition, rarely applying the same discipline to mold and water damage as they would to hazardous materials. He set out to change that.
NEPA Environmental is not a franchise, but a locally owned business deeply invested in Northeast PA’s unique climate risks. Our six-person crew delivers a rebuild-integrated service, treating every mold or water incident as a step toward true structural recovery, not just cleanup. We operate an in-house laboratory for precise mold identification and provide direct insurance coordination to minimize homeowner stress and maximize results. Safety always comes first, with USDA-approved, eco-friendly products safe for families, pets, and plants. Today, our story is defined by meticulous work, honest communication, and a mission to protect our community’s health and property.
Where Safety Meets Science
Why Our Safety-First, Lab-Based Approach Sets Us Apart
At NEPA Environmental, restoration means trust, technical excellence, and local accountability. Our approach is unique in the Hawley and Lake Wallenpaupack area: every job begins with rigorous, lab-certified testing for mold or water-related pathogens. Unlike national chains that ship samples out-of-state, our in-house lab delivers faster, more accurate results, allowing us to tailor every remediation plan to the exact threat.
Transparency and partnership are central to our mission. Owner Russell Carpino’s hands-on leadership ensures every mitigation follows IICRC standards and that insurance claims are handled with a client-first mindset. We never upsell or pressure—our goal is to provide documented peace of mind and a safe, healthy home or business. Our regional focus means we understand the “Spring Thaw” in Pike, Wayne, Monroe, and Lackawanna Counties, as well as the daily needs of local families and businesses. That’s why so many trust NEPA Environmental: high integrity, technical expertise, and a relentless commitment to your safety.
