Adams County, Pennsylvania
Mold work throughout Cumberland Township, from the properties bordering the national park land to the newer development south and west of the borough.
Call (717) 555-0142Cumberland Township wraps around Gettysburg on three sides, which means it contains just about every kind of building stock the county has. There are farmhouses on original stone foundations, mid-century ranches, and subdivisions built within the last twenty-five years — and each of those fails in a different way when water gets in.
On older properties the problem is usually the foundation itself: rubble or stone walls that move groundwater through the mortar, and basements later finished with framing and drywall pressed against them. On newer construction it is far more often mechanical — a bath fan discharging into the attic, a sealed crawlspace with no conditioning, or a downspout dumping against a poured wall. We look at the assembly in front of us rather than assuming.
A lot of this township sits on grade that falls toward or away from the house in ways that matter enormously. Surface water collecting against an uphill foundation wall is one of the most common sources we trace, and it is often correctable with regrading and downspout work rather than anything structural.
Stone and rubble foundations cannot be treated like poured concrete. They hold moisture in the mortar, they cannot be sealed from inside with any durable result, and remediation has to account for that rather than fighting it.
Moisture mapping establishes where affected material actually stops. That is what keeps the removal from being either too timid to work or wider than it needs to be.
If what you have is thirty square feet on a masonry wall and a downspout that needs moving, we will tell you that instead of writing a containment scope.
