Remediation and moisture correction in New Oxford, including the older properties around the square and the surrounding Berwick Township area.
New Oxford's older building stock is concentrated around the square, and a good share of it has basements that were never intended to be anything but storage. When those spaces get finished — and many have been — the assembly is nearly always the same: furring or studs against masonry, insulation between, drywall over the top, and no air movement behind any of it.
That is not a defect so much as an old convention meeting modern materials. Masonry below grade takes on moisture seasonally. Left open it dries to the room. Covered with an impermeable assembly it does not, and the organic material in contact with it is the first thing to grow. When we open these walls the growth is almost always on the back of the drywall rather than the face you can see.
Mold inspection, testing, remediation and moisture correction for homes and light commercial property throughout New Oxford and the surrounding parts of Adams County.
Inspection points and moisture readings tell us how far the affected area actually runs, so the scope reflects the real boundary rather than a guess based on the visible stain.
If the space is going to be finished again, the assembly matters. We will tell you what to use against masonry and what to keep out of a below-grade wall.
Grading, downspouts, window wells and foundation penetrations are part of the scope, not a separate conversation afterwards.
Post-remediation sampling goes to an independent laboratory. We would rather not be the ones grading our own work.
