What we check on a Gettysburg mold visit

The water, before the growth

On borough brick and township stone we start at the wet wall, the bulkhead, the sump, and the sill. A stain with a dry meter is a different job from a wall that is still taking water after a March thaw. If the leak is active, cleanup waits on stopping it.

Basements and the finish in front of them

Gettysburg, Bonneauville, and the older streets in Littlestown often have rubble stone or brick behind paneling. We check the bottom of the drywall, the tack strips, and the back of any cabinet against the foundation. Infrared is for finished walls where the meter cannot reach the masonry.

Crawls, attics, and the fan that dumps inside

A dirt crawl gets a look at the joists, the soil, and whether vents are feeding July humidity. An attic gets the bath-fan termination and the roof deck above any ceiling stain. Those two assemblies are written up separately from a basement room because the work is different.

The meter side of this visit is on how we read moisture. The order of a cleanup is on the remediation process. Town notes live under Adams County service areas.
