Mold Remediation in Straban Township
Straban is the township east of the borough, from Hunterstown down toward the US-15 commercial strip. Farms and newer subdivisions share the same humid summers.
Houses in Straban Township
Hunterstown still has brick and frame farmhouses with stone cellars. Closer to US-15 and the outlet corridor, the stock shifts to later ranches, split-levels, and subdivision houses with block basements and attached garages. Those garages are a common wet wall: the slab is at grade, the house is a step up, and a summer storm pushes water at the common door.
Straban sits in the Gettysburg basin. Red shale and sandstone are under much of the township, with diabase ridges that shed clay into yards. The ground does not drain the way a sandy coastal lot does. A basement that was dry in a new house can read wet a decade later once gutters discharge at the foundation and the clay stops taking water.
What the visit is usually about
We see finished rec rooms on the US-15 side and dirt crawls under Hunterstown additions. Inspection comes first when the only clue is a smell. If the drywall is already soft, the water-damage mold page is the closer fit. Neighbors on this side of the county are Mount Joy and Cumberland.
Straban administers building questions through the township, not through Gettysburg borough. A mold cleanup that stays inside and does not move structure is usually not a UCC permit. A crawl-space liner tied to a new electric circuit can be. Check the township listing on Adams County’s municipality list before assuming either way. EPA’s mold guidance explains why drying beats a spray.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we hear on Adams County jobs.
Do you treat the outlet corridor as Gettysburg borough?
No. Those parcels are Straban Township. The drive from the borough is short, but the permit office and the housing mix are the township’s. Say Hunterstown or the US-15 side on the quote form so we bring the right access plan.
